Rite Farm Products 15-Gallon Propane Pro Poultry Scalder & Shrink Bag Tank

A thorough, temperature-controlled scald makes feather removal much easier when processing poultry. The Rite Farm Products 15-Gallon Propane Pro Poultry Scalder is a heavy-duty aluminum poultry processing scalder made in Saltillo, Texas for chickens, quail, game birds, ducks, turkeys, and geese. Its propane-powered burner, adjustable temperature control, and digital thermometer give poultry keepers a straightforward way to heat and monitor scalding water without requiring an electrical heating element.

This dual-purpose poultry scalder can also be used as a hot-water tank for sealing poultry shrink bags. The manufacturer recommends approximately 145°F for scalding chickens and 180°F for shrink bagging, allowing the same piece of poultry processing equipment to handle two important jobs on processing day.

Key Features

  • 15-Gallon Round Aluminum Pot: Provides room for processing anything from quail and chickens to larger poultry, with a round opening that makes it easier to lower and remove birds during scalding.
  • Adjustable Propane Heat: Electronic ignition and a fully adjustable dial control let you regulate the burner and maintain the water temperature needed for scalding or shrink bagging.
  • Digital Thermometer: Clearly displays the water temperature so it can be monitored throughout processing instead of relying on guesswork.
  • 28,500 BTU Cast Burner: Provides strong heating and heat recovery, while the included lid helps retain heat as the water comes up to temperature.
  • Dual-Purpose Design: Use the unit as a poultry scalder for loosening feathers before plucking or bring the water to the manufacturer's recommended 180°F for sealing poultry shrink bags.
  • Heavy-Duty Aluminum Construction: The fully welded aluminum pot measures approximately .16 inch thick, giving the scalder substantial construction while keeping its empty weight at approximately 26 pounds.
  • Raised Working Height: The freestanding design measures 32 inches tall, keeping the burner off the ground and positioning the pot at a practical height for lifting birds in and out.

Made for Poultry Processing Day

Proper scalding prepares feathers for removal before birds move on to a poultry feather plucker or hand plucking. With adjustable propane heat and a digital thermometer, this scalder makes it easier to monitor the water instead of working with an uncontrolled pot of hot water.

The 15-gallon capacity accommodates multiple bird sizes. Estimated capacity per dunk is up to three standard-breed chickens, two large Cornish Cross chickens, one large turkey or goose, two ducks, or more than 20 quail. For customers processing different types of poultry throughout the year, one scalder can therefore serve several flock sizes and species.

Outside of poultry processing, the large aluminum pot can also be used for big batches of jambalaya, crawfish or crab boils, chili, soups, stews, and vegetables.
