Advanced technology2mm OptiFlex needles
2mm OptiFlex needles
At the heart of the GEA MultiJector brine injector are the unique 2mm OptiFlex needles, which combine flexibility with special strength. They are 68% stronger than traditional stainless steel and will flex and recover their shape. This feature prevents bent or broken needles and ensure equipment uptime and consistent product quality. The 2mm OptiFlex needles help avoid over or under-cured areas and promote consistent taste, color and shelf life.
Optimal Time-in-Meat
Optimal Time-in-Meat
Time-in-Meat is a GEA brine injection precision technique based on the specific combination of stroke height and injection cycle time, both optimized for each product type. Thanks to the Time-in-Meat technique, the needles stay in the product longer during injection, which leads to better brine uptake and more even brine distribution. As a result, product quality and consistency are significantly increased and therefore higher efficiency and yields can be achieved.

GEA MultiShaker
Shaking the product after injection removes excess brine and closes needle marks. The massaging action actives proteins to improve the water holding capacity of the final product.
Innovative brine filtration with GEA ScreenFilter
GEA ScreenFilter
The innovative GEA ScreenFilter passively filters brine using gravitation force and avoids protein activation that can clog injection needles. Suitable for low-viscosity brines and applications such as ham, poultry and bacon, the filter promotes high process uptime, efficient brine use, and stable injection process which contributes to optimal food quality and guards food safety.
