Fomaco - Formaco

• Used for injecting brine, marinades, or other liquids into meat, poultry, and fish products.
• Applicable in the production of cured meats such as ham and bacon.
• Utilised in enhancing the flavour, texture, and shelf life of various protein products.
• Commonly found in medium to large-scale food processing operations.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment can range from several hundred kilograms to over a tonne per hour, depending on product type and injection levels.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with amperage requirements varying based on motor size and pump capacity.

Injection pressure

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

Number of needles

Injectors in this category commonly feature multiple needles, often in a configurable pattern, to ensure even distribution of the injected solution.

Belt width

For this class of equipment, belt widths typically range from 300mm to 600mm, accommodating various product sizes.

Construction material

Units are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel to meet hygiene standards and ensure durability in processing environments.

Control system

Modern injectors commonly feature PLC-based controls for setting parameters such as injection pressure, belt speed, and needle patterns.

• What maintenance is typically required for an injector?

  Regular cleaning is essential after each production run. Periodic checks of needles, pumps, filters, and seals are also required to ensure optimal performance and hygiene.

• Can this type of injector handle different product thicknesses?

• What are the typical space requirements for an industrial injector?

• Is specialist training required to operate an injector?

• What kind of solutions can be injected?

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.
