Washing, Scalding & Dehairing

After bleeding, the pig must be thoroughly cleaned — removing hair, dirt, and remaining debris — before proceeding to evisceration. This stage combines washing, scalding (to soften hair follicles), mechanical dehairing, and flame singeing for a completely clean carcass.

Washing, Scalding & Dehairing

Why This Stage Matters

· Food Safety: Clean carcass surface is essential before evisceration and inspection

· Appearance: Hair-free, singed carcass meets market quality standards

· Downstream Quality: Residual hair in the final product is a major quality failure

· HACCP: Clean carcass reduces microbial load entering the chilling stage
