Abstract

A poultry cooler includes a tank and an auger rotatably held within the tank. The auger includes a first auger section and a second auger section. The first auger section includes a first auger shaft and a first auger blade. The first auger blade includes a first helical portion on the first auger shaft and a first blade extension extending away from the first helical portion. The second auger section includes a second auger shaft coupled to the first auger shaft and a second auger blade. The second auger blade includes a second helical portion on the second auger shaft and a second blade extension extending away from the second helical portion. The cooler includes a hanger bearing assembly between the first and second auger sections and extending to an upper portion of the tank.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an auger-type poultry cooler and related assemblies having an enhanced hanger bearing construction. Background technique [0002] Auger type poultry coolers have been in use for over 40 years. The apparatus consisted of a nominally horizontal semi-cylindrical box with an Archimedes screw extending down the length of the box. In this context, the screw is often called an auger. [0003] A conventional auger type poultry cooler 10 is shown in Figure 1-3 middle. Tank 12 is filled with cooled water to a level generally at or slightly above the top of auger shaft 22 . Cooled water may be supplied by heat exchanger 40 . A freshly slaughtered and eviscerated bird is introduced into tank 12 at inlet end 14 and transported to an opposite outlet end 16 by turning auger 20 (eg, using a motor operatively coupled to auger 20 ). The auger 20 is designed so that the water in the tank 12 is not transported with the bird. Alterna...
