Raw Chicken Thawing Machine: Thaws frozen chicken fast and evenly with cool air or water, so the chicken stays fresh and tender;

Raw Chicken Cleaning & Deboning Machine: Washes dirt off raw chicken and removes bones/tendons automatically, making sure the meat is clean;

Chicken Meat Mixing Machine: Blends deboned chicken with seasonings and other ingredients in fixed amounts, so every nugget tastes the same;

Chicken Nugget Shaping Machine: Uses molds or pressing to make meat into square, round, or strip nuggets—each one has the same size and shape;

Breadcrumb Coating Line: Pre-dusting machine sprays a thin flour layer on nuggets to hold batter; batter machine dips nuggets in batter; breadcrumb machine covers them with panko or regular breadcrumbs for crispiness;

Continuous Frying Machine: Fries coated nuggets at 170-180℃ with auto temperature control, making nuggets golden and less oily;

Quick Cooling Machine: Cools hot nuggets to room temp fast with air or water, so nuggets stay crispy and last longer;

Automatic Packaging Machine: Weighs, fills, seals, and labels cooled nuggets automatically—keeps nuggets clean and fresh;

Quality Check Equipment: Uses metal detectors, weight sorters, and cameras to find metal, remove wrong-weight nuggets, and check looks—only good nuggets go out.​
