Description
High-performance injection is the key process of modern meat processing, especially for bacon, ham, whole muscles and poultry. The goal is a precise, controlled and product-gentle brine introduction, even at extremely high uptake rates.
MAKU injection systems combine mechanical precision, intelligent pressure control and product-specific needle technology to deliver the highest yields with a stable product structure.
Our recommendations
High-performance injector (HPI)
Key customer challenges
- Unstable brine distribution at extremely high injection rates.
- Structural damage, fat separation and brine leakage.
- Fluctuating yields between batches.
Our technological answer
High-performance injector (HPI)
- Multi-zone injection for precise brine distribution across fat and lean portions.
- Exact pressure and volume control even at uptake rates > 60 %.
- Reproducible results at high line speeds.
Intelligent process control
- Uniform brine uptake across the entire batch.
- Reduced downstream losses during tumbling and cooking.
- Stable yield regardless of raw-material variation.
