The scalding tank in a chicken abattoir is used to loosen the feathers of the chickens prior to the feather removal process. After the chickens are slaughtered, they are submerged in hot water in the scalding tank for a specific period of time. The hot water helps to loosen the feathers from the chicken’s skin, making it easier to remove them in the subsequent feather removal process. This step is crucial in the poultry processing chain to ensure efficient and effective feather removal without damaging the skin of the chicken.
