Continuous tumblers for brine injection processes

Enhance product appeal and consistency by seamlessly integrating brine tumbling into your line, ensuring optimal binding and reduced moisture loss for superior end-product presentation.

Reduces Brine Loss and Enhances Product Binding

The CT 250 and CT 375 from Fomaco are continuous tumbler machines designed for food processors specializing in red meat, poultry, and fish. Constructed entirely of stainless steel, these machines excel at reducing surface brine and sealing needle marks to enhance the appearance and binding of injected products. The CT 250, suited for smaller injector systems, and the CT 375, compatible with the M3 series, offer adjustable speeds from 3 to 10 rpm and manual or optional motorized tilting. The system’s brine removal and reuse capabilities significantly diminish waste and improve operational efficiency. Equipped with a stainless steel brine collecting buffer tank (PFS 90), these tumblers seamlessly integrate into your processing line, optimizing brine recycling through an integrated transport pump. The units ensure efficient production while maintaining an easy-to-clean design, with the PFS 90 mounted on wheels for mobility during sanitation.

Benefits
