Poultry chiller for efficient whole-bird processing
Maximize chilling efficiency while maintaining product integrity with advanced submersion and temperature regulation technology, ensuring consistent quality across every batch of poultry, meat, and seafood products.
The NEOCAT Chiller from JBT’s Cooling & Applied Technologies (C.A.T.) brand is a versatile auger chilling system designed for poultry, meat, and seafood processors. This equipment addresses the challenge of maintaining consistent product quality through its innovative design, which ensures complete submersion of products, preventing floating during the chilling process. The system operates continuously and is fully automated, integrating seamlessly into existing production lines. With a compact footprint that reduces floor space by 30%, the NEOCAT Chiller offers flexibility without compromising capacity—capable of handling whole chickens, turkey breasts, salmon fillets, and more. Its temperature regulation capability ensures uniform cooling, enhancing product integrity and safety. Designed with user-friendly features such as automated cleaning processes, it facilitates maintenance alongside an optional Clean-in-Place (CIP) system. Available in robust material options to suit various operational environments, it efficiently meets the stringent demands of food safety and quality compliance.
