There are two stages in the chilling of eviscerated poultry, prechilling prior to cutting, weighing, deboning or packing and final chilling or freezing. Prechilling not only stabilises the product microbiologically, but also assists the processing by presenting the product at the optimal temperature for cutting.

There are different ways of prechilling poultry and Meyn offers a wide choice and variety of efficient and reliable methods. Any prechilling system only provides optimum performance in combination with a well-engineered industrial refrigeration installation.
