Continuous Pig Washer

Product Features:

This machine integrates powerful cleaning with pre-warming. High-pressure, multi-angle hot water sprays wash away most loose debris and soften stubborn grime. The following high-intensity rotating nylon brush rollers effectively remove black scurf from pores and tenacious skin flakes, especially in hard-to-clean areas like the ears, armpits, and legs. Adjustable spray pressure and brush roller speed accommodate different pig breeds and cleanliness levels. The closed-loop hot water recirculation and three-stage filtration system significantly reduce water and energy consumption, lowering operating costs. The all-stainless steel, sanitary construction ensures corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, and compliance with food-contact standards. PLC automation provides precise control over wash time, water temperature, and pressure, guaranteeing consistent cleaning results.

Product Specifications:

The machine tunnel length is typically 6-10 meters, with a processing capacity of 300-600 heads per hour. Operating water temperature is usually set between 58-62°C for optimal cleaning and pre-warming. The number of brush rollers is typically 4 to 8 pairs (arranged top, bottom, and sides). Main motor power ranges from 7.5kW to 18.5kW depending on size. An automatic chemical dosing unit (optional) can be added for food-grade detergents or sanitizers. The equipment includes overflow, drain, and quick-fill valves for easy maintenance. The enclosure typically has an IP65 protection rating for wet environments.

Product Application:

This machine is a core washing station in the hog slaughter line, positioned after the dehairer and before the singeing furnace or polisher. Hog carcasses are conveyed at a constant speed through the washer tunnel, sequentially passing through the pre-rinse, main scrub, and final rinse sections. During this process, residual short hairs, loosened skin fats, and epidermal debris are thoroughly removed, and the carcass surface temperature is raised and evened out. A clean, warm carcass entering the subsequent singeing process achieves better results with lower energy consumption; if going directly to polishing, a shinier skin is obtained. The application of this equipment directly determines the commercial appearance grade of the pork side. It is a prerequisite for producing high-standard chilled pork sides and for further high-value cutting operations, widely used in large-scale pig slaughtering plants.
