Fresh enhanced poultry

GEA scanbrine brine mixing equipment

The starting point for successful marination is a homogeneously mixed brine. Carefully formulated brine that is mixed and stored under tightly controlled conditions will enhance the value, consistency and safety of the end product.

GEA MultiJector 2mm with chicken wings

Accurate brine injection needs a little finesse. GEA offers injectors with very dense injection patterns and smooth vertical movement to optimize 'Time-in-Meat' that is further evolved since the beginning in 1969. The more injection points, the better the brine retention. GEA MultiJector's injection head sets needles close to the product for maximum distribution with adjusted pressure. The unique 2mm OptiFlex needles are at the heart of the injector and are stronger than traditional stainless steel and have the superior property of recovering their shape over and over again instead of being deformed or bent. A brine cooler alongside the injector offers exact temperature control, keeps brine circulating and avoids sedimentation. And the GEA MultiShakers in combination with the flip-over drip-off conveyor at the outfeed, shake-off excess brine from both sides of the product and start the activation of proteins, which also close the remaining needle marks.
