Injectstar Vacuum Tumbler

Applications & Use Cases

• Marinating meat, poultry, and seafood products to enhance flavour and tenderness.
• Curing bacon and other processed meats for improved texture and preservation.
• Tumbling vegetables with marinades or seasonings for ready-to-cook meal kits.
• Mixing and blending various food ingredients in a controlled vacuum environment.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Vacuum tumblers in this class commonly range from 500L to 3000L, with 1200L being a substantial mid-range capacity.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, common in industrial food processing facilities.

Construction material

Almost universally, these machines are constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Vacuum capability

Equipped with an integrated vacuum pump, allowing for improved marinade penetration and product texture.

Control system

Typically features variable speed control for the drum rotation and programmable timer functions to optimise processing cycles.

Footprint

For a 1200L unit, expect a significant footprint, typically requiring dedicated floor space of several square metres.
