Brine injector for red meat production

Ensure even marinade distribution and consistent flavor profiles in your meat products with precision brine injection, tailored to streamline large-scale processing while minimizing waste.

Injects and Tenderizes Meat, Poultry, Fish

The Fomaco M2 Injector from Fomaco A/S is designed for precise injection and tenderizing in meat, poultry, and fish processing. It minimizes return brine through a unique needle head valve activation system, injecting only when necessary. Equipped with a centrifugal pump, it ensures consistent brine distribution, accommodating various product sizes and needle arrangements. The M2 features easy-to-clean stainless steel and approved plastic construction, with IP 68-protected electrical components for hassle-free maintenance. It integrates seamlessly into high-speed, continuous production lines, offering user-friendly control over pump pressure and production speed, essential for marinated and cured products like ham slices and smoked salmon fillets. Customization options, like the self-cleaning FM 80 protein filter, enhance performance, maintaining brine purity and improving product quality.
