Controlling temperature and achieving consistent product quality are non-negotiable for high-volume meat processing. FPEC's Arctic Blast CO2 Vacuum Tumbler is designed to meet those needs with precision, combining rapid chilling technology with effective vacuum tumbling to tenderize meat products.
Our specialized meat tenderizer and vacuum tumbler is built for performance and efficiency, delivering reliable consistency and control for manufacturing facilities while keeping up with demand schedules.
The durable drum can handle chicken, beef, pork, and other forms of raw meat, while the easy-to-clean design preserves the taste of your products while reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Overcoming Temperature and Quality-Control Challenges
Meat-manufacturing facilities and processors know the difficulty of keeping meat at the proper temperature during preparation. Extended processing times or heat from friction in the tumbler can raise product temperatures, resulting in safety and texture issues that are detrimental to both business and consumers.
The Arctic Blast CO2 Vacuum Tumbler addresses this issue via its CO2 injection system. It injects CO2 directly into the drum to rapidly bring down temperatures without slowing production. Our vacuum meat tumbler keeps food products within safe temperature ranges to promote a streamlined manufacturing process.
