Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for chilling plucked poultry carcasses before evisceration. A reservoir, which can be formed in a housing, retains a chilling liquid. A first plenum is disposed above the reservoir and a second plenum is disposed above the reservoir. The plenums receive at least some of the chilling liquid from the reservoir. The second plenum is spaced from the first plenum and defines a gap between the first and second plenum through which the conveyor passes. A chilling liquid pump pumps liquid from the reservoir to one or both plenums, whereby the chilling liquid overflows out of the first and second plenums, cascades downwardly onto at least some of the plurality of carcasses and flows into the reservoir.
