Brine injectors
A brine injector pushes curing brine or marinade into meat through a bank of fine needles as the product moves through the machine on a conveyor belt. It is the standard way to make ham and bacon and to marinate pork, beef and poultry evenly, and it improves yield and consistency compared with soaking or hand injection. Spring-loaded needles move around bones, and the stroke speed, feed and pressure set how much brine goes in.
Meat tenderisers
A meat tenderiser feeds portions of meat between rotating blade rollers that cut the fibres, making cheaper cuts more tender and helping marinades penetrate. With strip-cutting blades fitted, the same machine cuts meat into strips for stir-fry and schnitzel.
Choosing an injector or tenderiser
- Belt width and passage height: these decide the largest piece of meat the injector can take.
- Needle system: individually spring-loaded needles and valves give even injection and handle bone-in product.
- Output: strokes per minute and feed adjustment decide how quickly you can process product.
- Cleaning: look for hygienic stainless steel construction and parts that come apart easily.
