Injector for bone-in and boneless meat products

Optimize your brining and injection processes with precise and adaptable equipment designed for both bone-in and boneless meat, poultry, and vegan products, ensuring consistent quality and efficient operation throughout your production line.

Injects and Homogenizes Brine into Food Products

The HPI series from Henneken offers precision-engineered brine injectors designed for the food processing industry, including meat, poultry, fish, and vegan products. Utilizing a robust industrial design, these injectors operate on a forced injection system controlled by a stripper plate, ensuring high injection precision. Available with varying working widths from 300 mm to 1000 mm, the series caters to different production scales, including small, medium, and large capacities. With adjustable brine pressure ranging from 0.5 to 4 bar and stroke speeds up to 90 strokes per minute, these injectors allow for customized processing settings that enhance product consistency and quality.

The HPI’s engineering emphasizes seamless production line integration, supported by features like servo-controlled transport belts for easy connection to existing systems, including IQF lines for frozen products. The injectors accommodate easy cleaning and maintenance with foldable hoods and removable stainless steel racks. The pneumatic spring needles, available in multiple sizes, offer tool-free removal to suit diverse product requirements.

Energy efficiency is achieved through the use of a frequency converter-driven centrifugal pump, reducing operational costs while maintaining performance integrity. Made from top-quality stainless steel, the HPI series ensures durability and resistance to food processing environments, complemented by optional features such as a double pipe heat exchanger and anti-sedimentation unit. The HPI series is a versatile solution for modern food processing applications, offering customization and efficient performance.
