Systems and methods for providing food intervention, pumping up, and tenderization are discussed. While such systems and methods can include any suitable component, in some cases, they include an injectade reservoir, a filter, a first pump configured to force injectade from the injectade reservoir and through the filter, a nozzle configured to inject injectade into a food product without having the nozzle contact the food, and a valve that is configured to selectively open and close to regulate when and how much of the injectade that passes through the filter is forced out of the nozzle. In some cases, the described systems further include a chiller configured to cool injectade in the reservoir, a sensor configured to determine a distance between the nozzle and food item, an actuator configured to move the nozzle, and / or a computer processor that controls an amount of injectade sprayed from the nozzle. Other implementations are described.

A machine for injecting brine into meat pieces includes a conveyor having a support surface for conveying meat pieces in a forward step by step movement, each step having a predetermined length, first and second injection heads consecutively arranged over the conveyor relative to the forward direction, each injection head having an array of injection needles covering a whole width of the conveyor support surface. A length of the conveyor support surface corresponds to the predetermined length of the steps of the conveyor step by step movement, head driving device for alternately reciprocating the injection heads between an upper position, enabling the meat pieces to pass under the injection heads, and a lower position, where the injection needles are stuck into the meat pieces located under the injection heads, and brine supplying device supplying brine to the injection needles at least when the injection heads are at their lower position.

An apparatus for marinating foods; the retro-fit flavor dispensing system is used to improve the ease and reliability of dispensing flavorings into comestibles; dispensing marinades from existing and filled flexible bags. The device is a needle assembly suitable for injection dispensing.

Disclosed is a device and a method for introducing liquids into meat containing bones and / or cartilage or connective tissue, e.g. in the slaughtered body of poultry as well as in legs and belly meat, in order to treat, season, and / or preserve said meat. The aim of the invention is to create a device and a method which make it possible to simultaneously introduce exactly defined, even very small quantities of water, brine, preservatives, seasoning liquids, and / or other liquids in a manner that is adapted to the anatomy of the body of the slaughtered animal, even into meat containing bones and / or cartilage or connective tissue, within a very short period of time on almost any conveying unit, even an existing one, and even on a slaughtering conveyor belt, without using any needle while beinghighly effective and highly reliable, having a robust structure, and providing minimal tolerance of the injected quantity. Said aim is achieved by a device for introducing liquids into meat, comprising a base frame (1). Said device is characterized by the fact that one or several machine frame / s (3) is / are arranged in a rigid manner or so as to be movable in a linear direction on the base frame (1) while one / several injection device / s (6) which is / are used for needle-free injection and is / are connected to one / several high pressure unit / s (4) via one / several liquid distribution system / s (5) is / are disposed on the machine frame / s (3), each injection device (6) comprising one or several nozzle pipe / s (7) on which one or several spray nozzle / s (8) is / are arranged and which is / are disposed on the machine frame (3) so as to be deliverable. The inventive method is characterized by the fact that each of the nozzle pipes (7) as well as one / several spray lance / s (6) can be separately impinged upon by an identical and / or different, precisely defined pressure that is applied to different liquids for identical and / or different, exactly defined periods of time.

The invention relates to an automated station for salting meat pieces in a predetermined manner, enabling a method for salting poultry meat pieces to be automated, thus increasing productivity and thereby improving safety conditions. The station comprises motorised supply means for supplying meat pieces (P) in a forward direction, handling means for handling meat pieces in order to handle the meat piece coming from the supply means, salt supply means configured to provide salt on an inner and outer area of the meat piece (P), as well as a retrieval system for retrieving salt coming from the salt supply means.

The invention relates to a saline water injection machine with automatic preparation and needle protection functions. The saline water injection machine comprises a base, a conveying device and a power device, and also comprises a preparation mechanism and at least two injection mechanisms, wherein each injection mechanism comprises a second needle tubing, a first needle tubing, at least two through holes and at least two support assemblies; each support assembly comprises a support rod, a support casing, a limiting block and a first spring; the preparation mechanism comprises a mixing box, abottom plate, a conveying pipe, a pressure sensor and at least two quantification assemblies; and each quantification assembly comprises a storage box, a feeding pipe, a discharging pipe, a rotating disc, a drive shaft, a drive pipe, a motor, a limit unit, a second spring and a mounting bearing. In the saline water injection machine with automatic preparation and needle protection functions, the self-buffer function of the injection mechanism reduces the probability of damage to the mechanism due to collision with bone and reduces the fault rate of the saline water injection machine, saline water can be prepared automatically, and the working efficiency of the saline water injection machine is improved.

The invention relates to an automatic plant for the treatment and packing of meat product, comprising an injection station for injecting brine into a meat product, first and second maceration stations for macerating the injected meat product, and a packing station for packing the treated meat product. The injection station is connected to said first and second maceration stations by an accumulating and loading unit for accumulating meat product coming from the injection station and selectively loading it into the first and second maceration stations which are connected to the packing station by means of a transfer unit adapted for transferring the meat product from the first and second maceration stations to feed hoppers for feeding the packing station. The plant is controlled by computerized control.

The invention relates to an even-injection saline injection machine with an anti-blocking function. The even-injection saline injection machine comprises a base, a delivering device and a bracket andfurther comprises an injection mechanism and a patting mechanism, the injection mechanism comprises a lifting assembly, a medicine delivering tank, a cover plate, a power pump, a delivering pipe, twoconnecting rods, two fixed sleeves, at least two needle tubes and at least two push rods, the patting mechanism comprises a supporting rod, a driving assembly, an extruding plate, two sliding rods, two springs and two lifting sleeves, the lifting assembly comprises two air cylinders, and the driving assembly comprises a motor, a rotating disc and at least two knocking blocks. According to the even-injection saline injection machine with the anti-blocking function, saline can be injected into meat products through the injection mechanism, meanwhile, the probability that the mechanism is blockedis decreased, and the patting mechanism can pat the meat products injected with the saline, so that the saline is evenly dispersed to everywhere inside the meat products, and the quality of the meatproducts is improved.
