Ventstream Poultry Air Chiller

Client: Large Poultry Processing Company

Expertise: Ventstream Poultry Air Chiller

Introduction

Pennine Refrigeration Services partnered with a large poultry processing company to enhance chilling efficiency, improve product quality, and meet growing market demand.

Client Overview

The client is a major poultry processing business supplying premium poultry products to both domestic and international markets. With demand rapidly increasing, they faced mounting pressure to maintain strict temperature control and ensure food safety standards. Their traditional chilling methods were time-consuming, inconsistent, and increasingly unsustainable for the scale of operations required.

The Challenge

The client’s existing chilling process was inefficient and unable to deliver consistent results. Long chilling times and uneven temperature control often led to quality issues, affecting product texture, safety, and shelf life.

They required a solution that would:

Shorten chilling times.
Deliver consistent and safe product quality.
Increase production capacity while reducing costs.
Integrate seamlessly into existing operations.

The Solution

PRS introduced the Pennine Ventstream Poultry Air Chiller, a system that combines advanced airflow technology with precision temperature control and a mechanical conveying system with tension control.

This innovative approach delivered faster, more uniform chilling across poultry carcasses, ensuring food safety and consistent product quality while boosting operational efficiency.

Implementation

PRS worked closely with the client to understand their chilling requirements and tailor the Pennine Ventstream Poultry Air Chiller accordingly. The implementation process involved the following steps:

PRS conducted a detailed assessment of the client’s chilling process, including carcass sizes, production volumes, and temperature requirements. Based on this analysis, they customised the Pennine Ventstream Poultry Air Chiller to meet the client’s specific needs on volumes and carcass weights.

PRS team of experts installed and integrated the Pennine Ventstream Poultry Air Chiller seamlessly into the client’s existing production line. They ensured minimal disruption to the client’s operations during the installation process.

The mechanical conveying system incorporated a tension control mechanism. This mechanism adjusted the tension in the conveying system to ensure precise line tension throughout the chilling process. This provides consistent operation with minimal downtime and increases the lifespan of the conveyor chain.

PRS provided comprehensive training to the client’s production team on operating and maintaining the Pennine Ventstream Poultry Air Chiller. They also offered ongoing technical support to address any queries or issues that arose during the implementation phase.

Results & Long-Term Impact

The implementation of the Pennine Ventstream Poultry Air Chiller yielded significant improvements for the client:

Increased Chilling Efficiency
Improved Product Quality & Consistency
Enhanced Productivity
Operational Cost Savings
Superior Product Quality and Safety

The innovative technology of the Pennine Ventstream Poultry Air Chiller revolutionised the client’s chilling process, enabling them to meet the growing demand for their poultry products while maintaining strict temperature control and ensuring product safety.
