Industrial brine injector for meat processing
Achieve precise brine injection for meats with customizable patterns and high-speed operation, ensuring consistent flavoring and quality in your meat products.
Injects and Distributes Brine in Meat and Seafood
The PI 81-184 from VAKONA GmbH is a high-precision industrial brine injector tailored for the rigorous demands of meat and seafood processing. This pickle injector stands out with its rugged construction and compact design, featuring servo-driven direct control for optimal precision. Equipped with a unique needle-bridge system for quick changes, it enables precise injection patterns and circulates brine through a sophisticated position-controlled valve, ensuring each product receives uniform brining. Suitable for poultry, meats, and fish, it targets end-products like pepperoni, deli meats, and brined seafood. The machine supports up to 50 strokes per minute and offers automated sanitation, USB/Ethernet connectivity, and a CAN-Bus standard for seamless integration. Its robust design boasts easy maintenance through components like a polyethylene conveyor, removable for sanitation. VAKONA offers customization options and supports dynamic operational modes, making it an ideal choice for food processing plants aiming to improve flavor consistency and reduce downtime.
