Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sheep slaughtering and processing equipment, and more specifically, to a continuous scalding machine for sheep with skin. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional scalding pits are labor-intensive, requiring manual plucking of wool from sheep within the pit, resulting in low production efficiency. Furthermore, the high water temperature demands highly skilled operators. Additionally, most scalding pits are open structures, allowing large amounts of steam to escape directly, thus reducing scalding effectiveness and wasting energy.

[0003] Currently, scalding machines typically rely on a single temperature control system, which leads to large temperature differences between the front and back of the tank when the equipment is long, affecting the uniformity of scalding and causing problems such as increased local bleaching rate of sheep carcasses, which seriously affects the appearance quality of the product. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the technical problems of low production efficiency, waste of heat energy and high whitening rate of scalded sheep in existing scalding pools, this utility model provides a continuous scalding machine for sheep with skin.
