Product Specifications

General Scalding Settings:	Soft/semi-scalding at 50-54ºC for 3 minutes Medium scalding at 54-56ºC for 2,5 minutes Hard scalding at 58-60ºC for 2 minutes The higher the scalding temperature, the better feathers are loosened from the follicles. However, it also has the most effect on the skin, the outer skin layer, also called the epidermis, will also loosen, and will be removed by the plucker. This leads to lighter skin, which is a product preference in some countries. It is generally not recommended to combine hard scalding with air chilling because the skin will discolor unfavorably due to dehydration in the air chilling room.
