Processes and Distributes Marinades and Brines

The GEA ScanMidi from GEA is a versatile industrial tumbling and massaging system designed to enhance the marination process for meat, poultry, and seafood products. Utilizing asymmetric carriers, the system provides both gentle ‘meat-on-meat’ massaging and fast, agitated tumbling, enabling precise control over brine and marinade distribution. Available in capacities ranging from 2500 to 10,000 liters, it supports a variety of processes including massaging, tumbling, marinating, ingredient dosing, rinsing, coating, and cooling under a vacuum. This equipment is suitable for producing marinated chicken legs, cured beef brisket, and salmon fillets. The system’s PLC-based control allows for customizable process parameters like drum speed, rotation direction, and temperature, improving product yield and consistency. Designed for hygiene and efficiency, the ScanMidi ensures fast cleaning and maintenance with its wide lid opening and streamlined drum design. Optional features include a heat-chill system using glycol-based heat exchangers to accelerate the brine absorption process and a vacuum-integrated ingredient addition system to enhance yield and quality. The ScanMidi is tailored for food processors aiming to optimize production throughput while maintaining high standards of product quality.
