10results about "Injection-based meat tenderising" patented technology

Systems and methods for providing food intervention, pumping up, and tenderization are discussed. While such systems can include any suitable component, in some cases, they include a needleless spray nozzle head that injects injectate into food without requiring the head to contact the food. In some cases, the head comprises an elongated needleless spray bar that defines multiple internal fluid channels that extend from a first end to a second end of the spray bar. In some cases, the head comprises a manifold system with a first manifold portion at the first end and a second manifold portion at the second end of the spray bar. In some cases, the first manifold portion directs the injectate towards the second end, and the second manifold portion directs the injectate towards the first end of the elongated needleless spray bar. Other implementations are described.

A brine injection machine for injecting brine to meat pieces is provided. The machine comprises an auxiliary frame (10) configured to carry a pre-filtering unit (6), and a pre-filtered brine tank (7), the auxiliary frame being detachable with regard to the main frame (1). At least one level sensors (32) is configured for detecting an amount of pre-filtered brine in the pre-filtered brine tank (7), and an electronic control device is configured for controlling the brine injection operation as a function of the amount of pre-filtered brine in the pre-filtered brine tank (7) that can be recycled, as detected by the at least one level sensor (32) at the end of a brine injection cycle. It is also disclosed a method for operating a brine injection machine according to the invention.

A process that includes receiving, by a trimmer via a conveyor system, a foodstuff, automatically trimming, by the trimmer and based on trimming instructions, the foodstuff that results in trimmings and a trimmed foodstuff. The process also includes advancing, via the conveyor system, the trimmings of the foodstuff to a trimmings collector, and advancing, via the conveyor system, the trimmed foodstuff out of the trimmer. The trimmer is provided on the conveyor system prior to an injector such that the trimmer performs the automatic trimming of the foodstuff prior to injecting the foodstuff with a liquid solution by the injector.

A food seasoning injector including a housing assembly and injectors assembly. The housing assembly includes a housing, a cap and housing connectors, wherein the housing is a handheld bowl-shaped container adapted to contain a liquid seasoning for food. The housing includes an opening covered with a cap. The housing connectors are openings in a bottom edge of the housing that fit into the needle connectors included in the injectors assembly. The plurality of needles are attached to the needle connectors which have a sharpened tip to penetrate the food, thereby the liquid seasoning may be impregnated into the food enhancing it with flavor and saving time by covering a bigger portion of the food by means of the plurality of needles.

An injection device (5) for injecting a liquid into meat comprising a housing (61), a conveyor (53), and a modular needle bridge (4) arranged above and across an endless belt conveying surface (54) of the conveyor (53). A drive system (70) is provided to move the conveying surface (54) in at least two opposite conveying directions. The needle bridge (4) comprises vertically stacked needle bridge blocks (3) with aligning means (32), and needle head cavities (31) of a non-circular cross-section for receiving correspondingly shaped needle heads (1) with hollow injection needles (12) that can move vertically in the needle head cavities (31). The needle head cavities (31) are arranged in rows to form a continuous regular injection pattern.

The application relates to a kind of beef granules making tool and preparation method, can be carried out steaming and baking treatment to beef block in the state of high pressure injection of beef fat under negative pressure. Replace traditional frying with steaming and baking process, can relatively standard, stable control temperature, humidity and time, can improve the water retention and nutrition of beef block, improve the taste of beef granules, promote beef granules tender and soft.

The invention discloses energy-saving beef processing equipment, and relates to the technical field of beef tenderization treatment, the energy-saving beef processing equipment comprises a workbench, the workbench comprises a table top, and the energy-saving beef processing equipment also comprises a driving mechanism connected with the workbench; the beef conveying mechanism is connected with the working table and comprises a plurality of toothed plates, and a plurality of openings are formed in the table top; by installing the energy-saving injection mechanism, the feed port is opened by using the resistance when an injection cylinder is inserted into beef, the discharge ports inserted into the beef are opened by using the resistance of the beef when the injection cylinder is inserted, and the discharge ports with the corresponding number are opened according to the insertion depth, so that the uniformity of saline injection is ensured, and the saline is accurately injected into the beef; the discharge port which does not enter the beef is closed, waste caused by the fact that saline water is sprayed into the air is avoided, meanwhile, other structures such as injection barrels making contact with the beef close the feed port and the discharge port of the injection barrel through the gravity of the injection barrels, and waste caused by the fact that the saline water is splashed into the air is effectively avoided.

A protein composition corresponding to that of a natural pork belly is injected into a green pork belly together with standard pork belly brine. This mixture can be emulsified to facilitate injection into the pork belly. The injected pork belly can be massaged and then allowed to cure for a certain length of time. Thereafter, the pork belly is smoked in a standard manner and then shaped into a rectangular form for slicing into bacon.

The present invention relates to a food processing line (10) comprising an injection apparatus (2) configured to inject liquid into foodstuff, and at least one microwave sensor (1, 3) configured to sense microwave transmission data of the foodstuff, the microwave sensor (1, 3) comprising a microwave transmitter (11) and a microwave receiver (12) that is spaced from the microwave transmitter (11), the microwave receiver (12) further being configured to receive a transmission signal transmitted by the microwave transmitter (11), and a control unit (4) configured to receive the microwave transmission data from the microwave sensor (1, 3) and to control the injection apparatus (2) based on the microwave transmission data received from the microwave sensor (1, 3).

The present invention relates to an injection device (I) for injecting an injectate into a food product, comprising an injection unit (60; 200; 300), an injectate-conveying device (30) for conveying the injectate from a supply of injectate to the injection unit (60; 200; 300), and a transporting unit (TE), which conveys in a conveying direction (F) and by means of which the food product to be treated is fed to the injection unit (60; 200; 300) and the treated food product is discharged from the injection unit (60; 200; 300). The injection unit (60; 200; 300) has at least a first injection roller (62; 220; 310), which is oriented substantially transversely to the conveying direction (F) and has a central axis (A) and a plurality of substantially radially outwardly directed injection needles (IN), which are arranged on the injection roller (62; 220; 310) and are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction of the at least first injection roller (62; 220; 310) and / or in the circumferential direction thereof.
