IMPROVED POULTRY DEFEATHERING APPARATUS AND PROCESS ABSTRACT The present invention comprises a poultry defeathering apparatus for use with boilers having boiler stacks. The apparatus comprises a heat exchanger which is located proximate to the boiler stacks for exchanging heat energy contained within the boiler stacks to heated air to be used in the defeathering apparatus. A hot air mixer in communication with the heat exchanger receives the heated air and cools it with ambient air to reduce the heat energy to an appropriate level. A blower in fluid communication with the mixer receives the heated air and increases its volumetric flow rate. A scalding tank is included for scalding fowl carcasses drawn through the water within the tank. The tank also includes a hot air divider positioned near the bottom of the tank and extending longitudinally along a subtantial por- tion of the bottom, the divider being in fluid communication with the blower to receive the heated air from the blower. The divider also includes nozzles through which the heated air is injected into the scalding water to further heat and agitate the water.
