Air chilling. Poultry abattoirs have begun to use alternatives to conventional water tank or water immersion(bath) chilling of poultry. "Air chilled" is commonly used to describe poultry and poultry cuts which, after the inside/outside bird washer step, have been chilled with cold air. Water sprays or misting devices are generally used during air chilling processes to prevent skin dehydration. 1, record 2, English, - misting%20device

Refroidissement à l'air. Les abattoirs de volaille ont commencé à utiliser d'autres méthodes de refroidissement que les méthodes classiques de refroidissement en cuve ou par immersion dans un bain d'eau. L'expression «refroidi à l'air» est couramment employée pour décrire les découpes de volaille qui, après l'étape du lavage intérieur-extérieur des carcasses, sont refroidies avec de l'air froid. Des pulvérisateurs ou nébulisateurs sont généralement employés durant le refroidissement à l'air pour prévenir la déshydratation de la peau. 1, record 2, French, - pulv%C3%A9risateur

In the "combined washer", a horizontal worm is supported in a tank with its axis about at water level. The wheat is fed into the rising side of the worm so that the worm keeps the wheat suspended(while stones or metal pieces sink and are separated) and leads it to the base of a vertical whizzer. In this the wheat is first strongly agitated with water, then freed from surplus water by being flung against a cylindrical perforated cover while being propelled upward. 1, record 3, English, - combined%20washer

The pulping reaction is stopped by extracting the hot residual liquor through screens at the periphery into a flash tank that supplies steam to the steaming vessel. The hot liquor is displaced by upward-flowing "wash liquor"(usually brown stock washer filtrate) which is injected near the bottom of the vessel and moves countercurrent to the chip flow to provide "diffusion washing". The digester is usually provided with sufficient height between the wash liquor inlet and extraction screens to allow at least 1. 5 hours for the residual liquor to diffuse out of the chips. 1, record 5, English, - wash%20liquor
