Poultry Processing - Cut Up & Deboning

Weighing shackle cleaner incl foam unit

The Undine® weigh shackle washer enables you to clean weigh shackles perfectly and save up to 50% on your water consumption. With a specifically designed second generation PLC and automatic foamer, you can clean shackles fully automatically. But you can also choose to foam the shackles manually.

Furthermore, we can install the Undine® shackle washer as a stand-alone unit or in combination with your existing brush systems. Even without brushes, you will achieve superior cleaning results.

Advantages

  • Excellent hygienic performance also on chains and trolleys
  • 50% saving on water
  • 85% saving on labour

Conveyor belts are notorious when it comes to cleaning. Dirt hides everywhere. Nowadays, conveyor belts are often cleaned by hand. This is not only a terrible and dangerous job. It is also almost impossible to clean them properly. With Undine® technology, you can automatically clean conveyor belts much better and faster, while saving up to 70% on your water and energy consumption.

The IWC hurdle approach

A standalone component does not create an integrated and holistic hurdle hygiene concept. The word hurdle refers to creating a barrier against something - in this case, a barrier against contamination and bacteria advancing to the next process step.

The hurdle concept has existed for some time but has been greatly improved by us. Our Undine® technology significantly enhances the cleaning power of water alone. Undine® takes the hurdle concept to a higher level. In some cases, it can even reduce specific bacteria, such as Salmonella and Enterobacteria, to below detectable levels.

Undine® enables a significant improvement in the overall hygiene level of poultry processing companies. Existing hurdles are made more effective, and, thanks to substantial water savings, additional hurdles that were previously unfeasible can now be implemented.

Undine® - how does it work?

The Undine® technology is, in essence, simple—just as any good technology should be. A simple technique features a straightforward design, allowing for easy installation and low maintenance. 

Our secret lies in breaking up the water flow into microdroplets and accelerating them to much higher speeds. These high-speed microdroplets exert more force on contaminants than a traditional water jet alone can. 

We have conducted studies to explain the physics behind this process and to demonstrate why Undine® penetrates surfaces more effectively than a standard water jet—without causing surface damage. This is a critical factor when cleaning poultry. 

The Undine® unit mixes water with pressurized air for ultimate cleaning performance.
