Brine injection system for cooked ham products
Achieve consistent flavor and quality in protein products with a robust brine injection system designed for precision and flexibility in high-speed meat processing operations.
Enhances Brine Injection Consistency and Efficiency
The GEA MultiJector 3-4mm Brine Injection System revolutionizes protein processing by delivering exceptional precision and flexibility. Its unique OptiFlex needles ensure consistent brine distribution, reducing the risk of bent or broken needles and guaranteeing maximum yield in cooked ham and poultry applications. The system features seamless integration with upstream and downstream processes like defrosting, chilling, and tumbling for efficient, continuous production. With a belt width of 700 mm and 275 needles, it accommodates high-speed operations while maintaining consistent product quality and texture. The modular design allows for rapid needle cassette exchange and easy cleaning, minimizing downtime. Additionally, the system supports advanced automation with comprehensive process control, optimized energy usage, and remote monitoring for enhanced productivity and efficiency.
