In the meat industry, efficiency and quality are essential to meet customer demand and comply with health regulations. One of the most advanced technological solutions for pig processing is the combined scalding and dehairing machine, designed to streamline and enhance the initial treatment of animals after slaughter.
What is a Combined Scalding and Dehairing Machine?
It is a piece of equipment that combines two essential processes:
- Scalding: The pig is immersed in hot water, typically between 60 and 70°C, to soften the hair and facilitate its removal.
- Dehairing: Through rotating rollers, blades, or brushes, the machine removes the hair from the animal uniformly and efficiently.
Made from stainless steel, this machine is designed to meet the highest hygiene standards and withstand the demanding conditions of slaughterhouses.

What Are Its Benefits?
Using a combined scalding and dehairing machine offers multiple advantages for meat production:
- Time Savings: Automates a process that would otherwise be manual and labor-intensive.
- Consistency: Ensures uniform dehairing, improving the presentation and quality of the final product.
- Sanitary Compliance: Reduces the risk of contamination by performing the process in a controlled and safe manner.
- Cost Reduction: Optimizes the use of resources like hot water and minimizes the need for intensive labor.
- Adaptability: Suitable for different production capacities and animal sizes.
How Does It Work?
- Preparation: After slaughter, the pig is placed in the machine.
- Scalding: It is immersed in a tank with hot water at a temperature that softens the hair without damaging the skin.
- Dehairing: Rotating rollers and brushes remove the hair while the pig is automatically moved through the machine.
- Output: The animal exits completely clean and ready for the next processing step.
Who Needs This Machine?
- Industrial Slaughterhouses: With high daily production volumes.
- Small and Medium Meat Processors: Looking to increase efficiency.
- Integrated Farms: Managing the slaughter and processing of their own animals.
