In-line weight control for brine injection

Ensure precise brine distribution in your meat, poultry, or fish processing lines with an in-line weight control system, optimizing flavor consistency and reducing product waste by maintaining accurate injection levels throughout production.

Controls and Optimizes Brine Injection Weights

The IWC In-line Weight Control System from Fomaco is designed to enhance precision in brine injection processes for meat, poultry, and fish production facilities. Utilizing dual Eilersen digital load cells, this system offers continuous and accurate weight measurement before and after product injection. Ideal for producing marinated beef steaks, brined turkey breasts, and smoked salmon fillets, the IWC ensures uniformity and quality across each batch. Integrating seamlessly with Fomaco’s M3 injector, it features synchronized conveyor belts for streamlined operations and minimal workflow disruption. With a robust closed frame structure, the system is both durable and easy to maneuver, powered efficiently at approximately 0.25 kW/unit. Data transfer and batch monitoring are facilitated through an integrated Modbus TCP/IP connection, providing real-time insights into production performance. Designed for continuous, in-line operation, the IWC is essential for any processing plant aiming to uphold high standards in product uniformity and throughput.

Benefits

  • Ensures precise product consistency, reducing waste and enhancing product uniformity.
  • Simplifies integration into existing lines, minimizing production disruptions.
  • Decreases energy usage with efficient low voltage servo motor operation.
  • Provides real-time monitoring and data analysis for better decision making.
  • Enhances processing flexibility across a diverse range of meat, poultry, and fish products.
