<p>A presalting machine comprising a tunnel of approximately horizontal position with its base rigid and its other walls deformable, its inner surfaces being constantly strewn with moist salt and through which the hams, with their shanks pointing forward, are fed by suitable pusher members which enclose and protect the bare meat portions surrounding the ham bones. Means for recovering the moist salt falling from the tunnel are disposed below the pusher members, said means leading to a device for conveying moist salt into the upper part of the tunnel which consists of a rough pocket comprising meshes arranged to allow the moist salt grains to pass and to rub them on to the surface of the hams. The machine according to the invention is suitable for presalting any type of raw or fresh ham.</p> |
