SPRAY CHILLING
Spraying Systems Co. offers an exceptional carcass chilling solution to meat processors across the world. Our system will typically reduce the total weight loss to about 0.5% or less compared with other spray chilling processes.
Beef, pork, lamb, game meat processors all seek a better spray system to increase chill room efficiency, ensure complete carcass coverage and lower maintenance needs.
The standard process of chilling animal carcasses is to circulate cold, dry air over the hot carcasses. This draws moisture out of the surface which is then lost to evaporation. Over time, this results in shrinkage and weight loss. The fat covering of the carcass will influence the amount of total weight loss. Results will vary between chillers, however typical carcass weight loss is about 1.5% to 3.5%. Spraying Systems Co.® offers an exceptional carcass chilling solution to meat processors across the world.
The AutoJet® Carcass Chilling Spray System uses sprays of chilled water to offset the evaporative loss of carcass chilling. The system will typically reduce the total weight loss to about 0.5% or less.
