Poultry Chilling: A Critical Step

In poultry slaughtering, the initial body temperature of the birds (around 41°C) must be brought below +4°C very quickly to stop microbial growth immediately (particularly Salmonella and Campylobacter) and prevent any drip loss.
At Afric Froid, we design refrigeration and blast-freezing systems for the high throughput of poultry slaughter lines (chickens, turkeys, ducks), ensuring maximum carcass yield and full compliance with hygiene standards.

Our Refrigeration Solutions for Poultry

Our equipment supports hatcheries, slaughterhouses and processing plants from chick to finished product.

Rapid Air Chilling Tunnels

Fast chilling of carcasses hanging on an overhead conveyor before cutting or packing.

Precise airflow management prevents the skin from drying out and preserves the appearance of the poultry.

IQF & Trolley Blast Freezing Tunnels (-35°C / -40°C)

Individual quick freezing (IQF) for legs, wings, breasts and gizzards, preventing pieces from sticking together.

Trolley tunnels for whole chickens or cartons of processed products (nuggets, breaded escalopes).

Air-Conditioned Cutting, Mincing & Packing Rooms

A strictly controlled temperature (between +8°C and +10°C) in processing areas.

Low-velocity air distribution through textile ducts for operator comfort and to prevent condensation.

Hatcheries & Egg Storage Rooms

Precise control of temperature (+15°C to +18°C) and humidity (75-80%) for storing hatching eggs.

Controlled air conditioning for hatching and chick-sorting rooms.
