Industrial pickle injector for Sme brining operations
Enhance your food processing line by achieving precise brine distribution, ensuring consistent flavor depth and texture across various meat and seafood products.
The PI 17 V from VAKONA GmbH is an automatic brine injector meticulously engineered for the rigorous demands of craft businesses and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMBs) in the food processing industry. Specializing in the precise injection of brine into meat, poultry, and fish, it ensures even distribution of flavors and optimal product texture. This unit features a rugged construction and compact design, making it ideal for integration into diverse processing lines. Operating with a direct mechanical drive for the needle head and conveyor belt, it ensures high injection accuracy and reliable performance.
The PI 17 V is equipped with precision needle heads featuring a quick-change needle bridge system, designed for ease of maintenance and product flexibility. Each needle is mechanically suspended, catering to products with bones, while a stainless steel centrifugal pump and pre-filter system maintain cleanliness and operational efficiency. Further customization is possible with optional equipment such as a semi-automatic filter system for fish and poultry or a steak tenderizing knife for boneless products.
This machine is designed to handle solid and liquid product types, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of end products, including smoked turkey, marinated salmon, and cured bacon. Its integrated design helps streamline the pre-processing and processing stages, accommodating automation and semi-automation requirements. Constructed with easy-to-clean components, it supports swift maintenance processes, enhancing production uptime and efficiency.
