Lamb and game processing: bone-in injection and tumbler

Selective deep injection, accelerated marinating, reproducible quality, even with difficult bone-in product.
Lamb and game processing: bone-in injection and tumbler

Description

Lamb and game have high connective-tissue content, bone content and strong natural variation in the raw material. MAKU solves uneven seasoning distribution, tough texture from collagen and long marinating times.
Challenges: uneven seasoning next to the bone, tough texture from high collagen content and long marinating/rest times; with game there is also highly fluctuating raw material → high rejection.
Bone-safe injection: deep injection along the bone with uniform brine/marinade; single-needle pneumatics with automatic stop on bone contact (HPI) protect the needles and prevent foreign bodies → less cooking loss.
Vacuum tumbling: mechanical fiber loosening and activation of protein/collagen processes → accelerated marinating.
Mechanical tenderizing (tenderizer): the blades cut the connective tissue → better tenderness in collagen-rich cuts (blade-tenderizing significantly reduces shear values).
  • Process line: HPI (bone-safe) → HT tenderizer → Tumbler B.
  • MAK Adobos: Marinades and seasoning
Deep bone-safe injection + vacuum tumbling + pre-tenderizing → uniform seasoning despite the bone, shorter marinating time, reproducible tenderness and less rejection with fluctuating game raw material.

Benefits

  • Bone-safe injection with contact stop
  • Uniform seasoning despite the bone
  • Reproducible tenderness in collagen-rich cuts
  • Clearly reduced marinating time
  • Less rejection with fluctuating game raw material

Frequently asked questions

  • Does injection work with bone-in product?
    Yes, bone-safe with an automatic stop on bone contact.
  • How do I tenderize cuts with a lot of collagen?
    With tenderizer and vacuum tumbling.
  • Does it reduce marinating time?
    Yes, clearly, through injection and tumbling.
