The quality of the end product starts with the brine. Inhomogeneous mixtures, unstable emulsions or undissolved powder residues lead to clogged injection needles, stains in the product and fluctuating taste profiles. Maku mixing technologies (HVB) guarantee the agglomerate-free dissolution of all ingredients - from salt and phosphates to highly viscous hydrocolloids and soy isolates. The result: a perfect, stable liquid for trouble-free injection processes and consistent product quality.
Our recommendations
Area of application: High-injection ham, bacon, „fake wagyu“ (fat), sauces Aim: Production of thick, stable emulsions without phase separation
Key challenges for the customer
Phase separation: Oil, water and fat separate after a short time (unstable emulsion).
Clogged needles: Lump formation (agglomerates) due to poorly dissolved thickening agents block the injector.
Viscosity fluctuations: Varying viscosity leads to inaccurate injection quantities.
Extreme mechanical comminution of all particles for complete dissolution.
Production of stable fat-water emulsions (homogeneous like milk).
No more „fish eyes“ or powder nests.
Controlled swelling of hydrocolloids and starches.
Reproducible consistency for exact injection accuracy.
Enables the injection of beef fat (marbling) or vegetable oils.
Stable integration into the protein matrix.
Our recommendations
Area of application: All pickling brines, marinades, standard injection Aim: Fast, cool and foam-free brine preparation
Key challenges for the customer
Foam formation: Air pockets lead to weight errors and oxidation.
Temperature increase: brine that is too warm is a microbiological risk and reduces binding.
Recipe error: Manual dosing leads to variations in taste between batches.
Removal of air from the brine prevents foaming („Air-Free“).
Prevents oxidation of sensitive ingredients during mixing.
Improves the absorption capacity in meat.
Keeps the brine constantly cold even at high ambient temperatures (LATAM).
Direct processing of flake ice without blocking the agitator.
