Poultry
Fresh enhanced poultry
Fresh enhanced poultry offers more than increased shelf life. It has evolved into a way of adding value to the products in terms enhanced flavor, more appetizing color, higher yield and an appealing bite.
The secret of perfect brine distribution and retention?
GEA's solutions for fresh enhanced enables impressive long term brine retention, guarantees the smallest possible variances and reduces brine losses. All while improving product appearance and juiciness.
2mm OptiFlex needles
Exceptionally high number of injection points with unique 2mm OptiFlex material improves brine distribution, prevents bent or broken needles, bone or skin damage and needle marks .
Needle cassette design
Patented needle cassette design for complete and tool less change-over for cleaning or replacement within less than 10 minutes.
Time-in-Meat technique
Thanks to GEA's technology, the so-called Time-in-Meat is optimized to the height of the product which leads to better brine uptake and more even brine distribution.
Examples of fresh enhanced poultry products
GEA fresh enhanced poultry injection line
Consistent brine mixing and storage, even product loading and spreading, controlled injection and brine cooling, protein activation, excess brine return and packaging, GEA can supply the complete line.
Discover a typical fresh enhanced poultry process
The starting point for successful marination is a homogeneously mixed brine. Carefully formulated brine that is mixed and stored under tightly controlled conditions will enhance the value, consistency and safety of the end product.
ccurate brine injection needs a little finesse. GEA offers injectors with very dense injection patterns and smooth vertical movement to optimize 'Time-in-Meat' that is further evolved since the beginning in 1969. The more injection points, the better the brine retention. GEA MultiJector's injection head sets needles close to the product for maximum distribution with adjusted pressure. The unique 2mm OptiFlex needles are at the heart of the injector and are stronger than traditional stainless steel and have the superior property of recovering their shape over and over again instead of being deformed or bent. A brine cooler alongside the injector offers exact temperature control, keeps brine circulating and avoids sedimentation. And the GEA MultiShakers in combination with the flip-over drip-off conveyor at the outfeed, shake-off excess brine from both sides of the product and start the activation of proteins, which also close the remaining needle marks.

All pharmaceutical freeze-drying vials are the same! Aren't they?
Whether it’s a fad or the future, 100% vial traceability is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the pharmaceutical freeze drying industry. Keeping a close eye on developments is GEA. We’re investigating possible solutions and, what’s more, we have the experience, expertise and know-how to implement them.
Alcohol-free beer: They want it all – they want less
There was a time when the phrases ‘non-alcoholic beer’ and ‘tastes good’ were seldom used together in the same sentence, particularly by consumers. But low-proof and alcohol-free beers have come a long way – many of them now refreshing drinks in their own right – thanks in no small part to technology from GEA.
Innovating patient care with aseptic spray drying
At GEA, our commitment to engineering for a better world fuels our pursuit of innovative solutions that enhance patient care and safety. One of our most promising ventures in recent years is aseptic spray drying – a technology that promises to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.
