Industrial pickle injector for precise brine injection
Achieve unparalleled brine distribution and consistency in meat and seafood products with this advanced injection machine, designed for high accuracy and easy integration into your production line.
The PI 54-105 from VAKONA GmbH is a precision-engineered brine injector designed to enhance the flavor and moisture content of meat, poultry, and seafood products through efficient brine injection processes. It features a rugged construction with a compact design, ensuring reliability and ease of operation. The machine operates using a precision needle head system driven by servo technology, providing high injection accuracy which is essential for maintaining product quality across various applications such as hams, bacon, and marinated chicken breasts.
The PI 54-105 effectively integrates into existing production lines, supporting automated operations with its touch-screen control system that can store up to 100 recipes. The infinite variable stroke height and automatic needle head positioning allow for tailored injection patterns, catering to diverse product requirements. The machine is capable of handling high-speed operations with strokes up to 50 per minute.
For maintenance, the PI 54-105 offers an automatic sanitation program, ensuring quick and thorough cleaning, and the use of polyethylene for the conveyor facilitates easy removal and sanitization. Supporting continuous operation, the unit includes a monitored pre-filter system and can operate in automatic standby mode to conserve energy and resources. Customization options include dynamic stroke modes and individual pneumatic tension control to further adapt the machine to specific processing needs.
