Günther Maschinenbau
German-made brine tumblers and injectors for the meat industry
Gunther Maschinenbau GmbH is one of the leading and most reliable manufacturers of specialized machinery for the meat processing industry. Based in Germany, Gunther has many years of experience and expertise in the design and manufacture of machinery that improves food processing processes such as meat kneading barrels and brine needlers. It was founded in 1980 and has since established itself as a pioneer in the field of meat processing.
Meat injectors
A meat injector is a specialized machine used in the meat processing industry to inject brine (a solution of salt, spices, and other ingredients) directly into meat through fine needles. This process, known as "injection" improves the flavor, texture, and tenderness of the meat. Here is a detailed description of the functions of the brine acupuncturist:
Brine Composition: Brine is made by dissolving salt, spices, sugar and other ingredients in water. Ingredients such as phosphates to improve moisture retention and protein extracts to enhance flavor may also be added.
Brine Injection: The brine is pumped through the needles and injected evenly into the meat. The amount and pressure of the injection can be adjusted according to the requirements of the recipe and the type of meat.
Pressure Regulation: The injection pressure is regulated to avoid damaging the meat fibers.
Number and Diameter of Needles: The number and diameter of needles can be adjusted according to the type and size of the meat.
Tumbling: The meat can be placed in kneading and marinating tumblers for further processing, ensuring even distribution of the brine and better penetration.
Tumblers
A meat tumbler is a specialized machine used in the food industry for meat processing. In detail, the main functions include:
Rotation: The barrel rotates slowly and steadily, mixing the meat and marinade. This motion helps distribute the marinade evenly and tenderize the meat.
Air Vacuum: Many barrels have a vacuum system. By removing the air, the marinade penetrates the meat more effectively, improving flavor and texture.
Speed Adjustment: The rotation speed can be adjusted according to the type of meat and the desired tenderness.
Processing Time: The kneading and marinating time can be adjusted according to the requirements of the recipe. It usually ranges from a few minutes to several hours.
Temperature Control: Some barrels are equipped with temperature control systems to keep the meat at safe temperatures during processing.
Brine Preparation
Brine mixer machines in the meat industry play a critical role in the production process. Brine enhances the flavor, texture and shelf life of meat products. These machines mix precise amounts of salt, water and other ingredients to create the brine, which is then injected or absorbed into the meat. This process not only improves the taste experience of the consumer, but also contributes to maintaining moisture and avoiding the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, thus ensuring the safety and quality of the final product.
Dozens of customers in Greece use the machines of Gunther Maschinenbau GmbH, giving daily another confirmation of the suitability of the machines.
