When you order chicken pieces at fast food restaurants there is an excellent chance that it was sized by a Sweco Separator. Raw chicken meat cut into various sizes is breaded with spices then partially cooked in a fryer and frozen. The pieces exit the freezer by a conveyor belt onto a Sweco Separator for sizing. The demand from the fast food customers requires a uniform size so that when the pieces are cooked all of the pieces will cook completely and uniformly.
Over the past year Sweco has sold several separators for sizing large chicken pieces for the fast food chicken industry. These pieces are a lot larger than the frozen diced chicken chunks that we have sized in the past with our equipment. The challenge here was the top screen mesh. The larger meshes are not easily mounted to a sanitary screen, and it is very difficult getting decent screen life with high feed rates of frozen chicken pieces.
After many screen trials, we found that the best way to make these large mesh screens was to tig-weld each wire to the tension ring and then double pass epoxy for sanitation and appearance. The heavier wire diameter is key for better welding and stability. Standard wire diameters are too fragile.
We then added a stainless outer pad, called a doughnut. The doughnut prevents the single wires from breaking and keeps large screened out pieces of irregular shaped chicken from upending and passing through the screen enroute to the spout. This is a stainless steel plate that is fastened to the screen. This rigid outer periphery apron strengthens the screen and discharges the chicken pieces very well.
