Optimum brine pick-up
GEA SuperChill
The GEA SuperChill brine chiller is designed to control brine temperature fluctuations during injection. Constant brine temperature throughout the injection process helps to ensure that the correct amount of brine ingredients is delivered to the product. This also benefits shelf stability and product quality.
Reliable control of brine temperature
Fluctuating brine temperature can impact the brine pick-up in injected meat and fish products. The GEA SuperChill prevents these fluctuations by cooling thin and viscous liquids to a fixed temperature of between 2°C and 4°C. Reliable and accurate cooling means far less variation in brine pick-up and staying as close as possible to achieving exactly the desired brine content for your products. Accurate brine injection also gives you better overall yield, and so helps to maximize the value of your enhanced meat, poultry and seafood products. Improving brine pick-up over the longer term can result in significant annual savings, and potentially SuperChill system payback within just months. Developed as a stand-alone unit, the GEA SuperChill can be used with both GEA and non-GEA brine injection systems.
Main applications
The GEA SuperChill is an essential system to help you optimize brine injection for a wide range of injected meat, poultry, and seafood products.
Optimum temperature and brine absorption
- Constant brine temperature control for optimal brine pick-up
- Reduced post-injection purge for better yield and improved customer satisfaction
- Helps achieve maximum allowed injection percentage and minimizes giveaway
- Continuous agitation of brine ingredients to prevent sedimentation
Reduced standard deviation to help boost quality and yield
- Helps long-term consistency in brine pick-up
- Reduced likelihood of over- or under-injection
- Reduced risk of breaking legal brine content limits and less product giveaway
- Controlled levels of brine ingredients in the product helps to achieve reproducible shelf stability
Stand-alone unit
- Easy system relocation gives operational flexibility to meet changing needs
- Compatible with GEA and non-GEA injection systems
- Hygienic design, which allows easy access for inspection and cleaning
Specifications
Advanced technologyReduce standard deviation to maximize brine absorption
Brine temperature can be affected by the immediate environment, and if unregulated, may fluctuate by several degrees during production. Changes in brine or product temperature can then affect brine absorption, leading to under- or over-injection of brine into the product, either of which could affect product quality. Brine over-injection may also break legal limits, while under-injection can reduce product yield, shelf life and increase product giveaway. GEA SuperChill helps you to get the balance right.
