In-line marination system for portion-controlled products
Portion-controlled and fragile food products often require precise marination to ensure uniform flavor distribution and prevent product damage. Traditional marination methods like dipping and tumbling may result in inconsistent coverage and increased marinade wastage, posing significant operational challenges.
Achieve uniform marination with minimal waste
The Marel ValueSpray is designed for the in-line wet marination of portioned and fragile products. It ensures an accurate pickup and uniform distribution of marinade, even on coarse pieces. Products move along a conveyor belt under a set of nozzles that spray the marinade evenly on one or both sides. The system minimizes marinade loss by recirculating overshoot back into the reservoir. The ValueSpray is user-friendly, controlled via a touch screen that manages production, recipes, service, and cleaning. With an input capacity of up to 3000 kg per hour, based on a belt speed of 30 meters per minute, it supports high throughput demands while maintaining consistent quality.
