Ham tenderizer for quality ham production
Enhance your production line with advanced tenderizing that optimizes protein extraction and brine retention, ensuring superior quality and flavor in every slice of ham and poultry product.
Tenderizes and Enhances Brine Distribution in Meat
The GEA MultiCarve from GEA is a rotating knife tenderizer designed to enhance brine distribution and protein extraction in meat processing. By utilizing dual rotating knife rollers, it increases meat surface area, crucial for maximizing brine retention and flavor uniformity. Ideal for cooked ham and sliced poultry, it supports end-products like deli-sliced honey ham and herb-marinated turkey. The MultiCarve can operate independently or seamlessly integrate with GEA MultiJector brine injection systems, improving process efficiency with automated control. Its adjustable roller height and speed allow customization for different meat cuts, ensuring precise tenderizing action. Easy-to-clean design with quick-change rollers facilitates high productivity, meeting demanding process needs with minimal downtime. Suitable for high-speed, continuous operations in meat and poultry processing industries.
