Easy to use control unit for adjusting to 180 degrees for shrink bags. Ideal for dipping birds to loosen feathers prior to plucking. Also ideal for sealing and shrinking poultry shrink bags.

The trick to a good plucking is a thorough, accurate scald. This unit works great when you have chickens, quail, game birds, ducks, turkeys or geese to process, and with a round 15-gallon capacity you can fit two large chickens or one turkey at a time with ease. Heavy-duty, 120-volt 2,000-watt heating element for heating and heat recovery. Gets up to temperature faster than any other brand as ours has a lid with handle to keep the heat in, along with powerful Stainless steel heating elements and heavy-duty electronics. This 120-volt model needs to run on a dedicated 20-amp breaker with nothing else on it. Will take 40 minutes to 1 hour to get to 145 degrees depending on your starting water and outside temp. Again, needs to be a 20-amp breaker with no other items running on the same breaker as this takes over 2,000 watts (19 amps) to run.
It measures 32" tall x 19.5" wide with handles x 17" deep overall. Pot inside diameter is 15 5/8" by 17 3/4" deep. Weighs approximately 19 pounds empty. Estimated capacities are: 3 standard breed chickens or 2 large (Cornish cross) chickens or 1 large turkey or goose or 2 ducks or 20 plus quail per dunk. Designed to be set on sturdy level ground so you can easily lift in and out birds. Includes detailed instructions "which must be read and followed prior to use". "Do not start any scalder without water in the pot as it will fry the heat element."
