Technology highlights
The GEA MultiJector 2mm combines advanced injection technology with smart design features to ensure consistent product quality, high efficiency, and reliable operation. Its innovations focus on precision, improved brine uptake, and fast, easy cleaning to minimize downtime.
2mm OptiFlex needles
At the heart of the GEA MultiJector are the unique 2mm OptiFlex needles, combining flexibility with high strength. They are 68% stronger than traditional stainless steel and return to shape after bending. This prevents broken needles, ensures uptime, and delivers consistent product quality with uniform taste, color, and shelf life.
Optimal Time-in-Meat
Time-in-Meat is a precision technique that optimizes stroke height and injection cycle time per product. Needles remain longer in the product, improving brine uptake and distribution. This results in more consistent quality, higher yields, and improved processing efficiency.
Easy cleaning for minimum downtime
The GEA MultiJector features a unique conveyor belt cleaning system that includes a hoisting device on a trolley, allowing one operator to remove, clean, and reinstall the belt without removing surrounding equipment. This ensures fast, thorough cleaning, easy machine access, and minimal downtime.
Additional equipment
Enhance the performance of your MultiJector with modular add-ons that improve filtration, product quality, and operational efficiency. These solutions integrate seamlessly into your process, helping maintain consistent injection performance, reduce downtime, and adapt to different product requirements across a wide range of applications.
Modular Injector Filter™
The GEA Modular Injector Filter provides complete brine filtration in one advanced, modular system. Designed to work seamlessly with the GEA MultiJector, it stores and filters brine to keep it in optimal condition, preventing clogged needles and ensuring consistent injection performance.
Its flexible configuration allows combinations of filtration modules, such as screen filtration or fat removal, making it suitable for both low- and high-viscosity brines.
GEA NeedleCleaner
The GEA NeedleCleaner automatically cleans needles and blocks in one cycle. Its five-stage process combines cold and hot water, ultrasonic vibration, high-pressure air, and UV treatment.
This ensures fast, reliable cleaning without manual effort, prevents cross-contamination, and keeps needles in optimal condition for consistent performance at every start-up.
GEA MultiShaker
The GEA MultiShaker improves product quality after injection by removing excess brine and closing needle marks. The gentle massaging action activates proteins, enhancing water retention.
This results in better product consistency, improved texture, and higher final yield, while maintaining product appearance and quality standards.

GEA Insights
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
