Temperature control and flavor consistency are two of the highest priorities in meat processing. FPEC's glycol-jacketed vacuum tumbler is made to manage both with precision, combining vacuum marination technology with glycol cooling to maintain product temperatures during the tumbling process. The vacuum pressure also acts as a meat tenderizer for raw meat.
Our system's sturdy build and operator-focused design are a dependable choice for facilities looking to streamline marination while meeting strict quality standards. The vacuum marinator can handle a large volume of meat products, including chicken, beef, pork, and fish.
Meeting the Challenge of Cold, Consistent Marination
Food processors know the risk of temperature spikes during tumbling, especially with delicate proteins or extended marination cycles. Cutting the marinating process short can impact texture and flavor. Conversely, a longer marinade can ensure tender, tasty food products, but it will also raise the temperature of raw meat.
FPEC's glycol-jacketed vacuum tumbler overcomes this challenge with an integrated glycol cooling jacket that maintains optimal temperatures throughout the process. It enhances marinade penetration and consistency while ensuring that meat products stay within safe handling ranges.
The durability of our machine's tumbling and marinade chamber allows it to accommodate large loads of meat and other food products.
