Treating smoked meat - by wedging meat between opposing moving plates, injecting liq. with adjustable pressure on meat and opt. vibrating or pulsating

摘要

The method of treating meat e.g. ham and shoulders has the meat injected with a liq. The meat is wedged between two processing parts which are moved towards and away from each other while the meat is in position. The movement is parallel to the surface of the processor machine in contact with the meat. The processor plates are formed by opposing plates which are adjustable towards and away from each other, and during operation, they can exercise an adjustable pressure on the meat. The plates can turn about an axis perpendicular to the contact surface and the plates can be vibrated or pulsated during operation which is communicated via an adjuster cylinder which varies the pressure on the meat.
