Fomaco FGM64 Needle Injector

• Injecting brine, marinades, or other liquids into meat products (pork, beef, poultry) to enhance flavour, tenderness, and yield.
• Processing fish fillets and whole fish with curing solutions or flavourings.
• Used in the production of ham, bacon, cured meats, and various poultry products.
• Suitable for food processing facilities requiring consistent and high-volume liquid injection.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product size and injection level, but units commonly achieve several tonnes per hour.

Injection pressure

Typically adjustable, allowing for precise control over the injection process to suit different product types and desired uptake levels.

Needle configuration

Units of this type commonly feature multiple bridges and a high density of needles, such as the 64 quad needles per bridge mentioned, for comprehensive and even distribution.

Power supply

Industrial equipment of this nature typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Material construction

Components in contact with food are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Control system

Modernised units, such as this one with new PLC control, offer enhanced precision, programmability, and ease of operation.

• What is the significance of 'quad needles'?

Injecting and filling equipment holds strong reputation among food processors for consistent portion control and product uniformity. Buyers typically prioritise machines with robust construction, reliable pump systems, and compatibility with existing production lines. Used units should be inspected for wear on seals, nozzles and calibration accuracy. Industry sentiment favours models offering straightforward maintenance and flexibility across different product viscosities. Build quality and documented service history substantially influence purchasing decisions, with preference for established manufacturers known for durability and spare parts availability.
