High-performance injection

High-performance injection is the key process for modern meat processing, especially for bacon, ham, large muscles and poultry. The aim is precise, controlled and gentle brine injection - even at extremely high pick-up rates.

Maku injection systems combine mechanical precision, intelligent pressure control and product-specific needle technology to realize the highest yields with a stable product structure.

Maximum yields, reproducible quality and maximum process reliability

Our recommendations

Area of application: bacon, cooked ham, large muscles
Target: Yields > 60 % with maximum product safety

Key challenges for the customer

  1. Unstable brine distribution at extremely high injection rates

  2. Structural destruction, fat loss and brine leakage

  3. Fluctuating yields between batches
