IMAX ECOline 350 and 420 brine injectors
The processing principle of the IMAX technology is based on classic injection curing by means of hollow needles. This is where know-how regarding needle type, inlet and exit holes and needle stitch pattern plays a decisive role. The brine/emulsion to be injected is carried directly to the product by a system of pumps and pipes. As well as boneless products, bone-in meat, poultry and fish can also be injected.
IMAX ECOline
The injector for all-round use
IMAX ECOline 350 and 420
The ECOline series now offers outstanding Schröder quality for small and medium-sized businesses at a favorable entry price and low operating costs in the basic version. These all-round injectors are suitable for a wide range of products. The proven and robust drive con-cept and the thoughtful hygienic design immediately reveals the typical Schröder injector. A choice of two manifold variants (number and density of needles), always equipped with a needle suspension block makes it suitable for bone-in and bone-less products. Optional available is an additional tenderizer head. Different filter concepts offering the choice be-tween functional simplicity and operating comfort.
With two performance classes, running up to 3 t and 4 t of fresh product per hour* of fish, meat and poultry products, one will always find the right machine for its production.
*Calculated assuming approx. 40 kg/m²
Brine tank FT 130
The FT 130 brine tank is available as an option. It supplies the IMAX ECOline injectors with up to 130 l of brine. Coarse particles are effectively filtered out using an external rotary fil-ter with a scraper. Brine intake is performed by the stationary suction filter, which can be quickly removed for cleaning purposes using the patented quick-release system. The tank guarantees a high degree of utilization of the brine with a leftover quantity of residual brine of less than ten liters.
The cleaning position ensures fast and effective cleaning – there is a mounting to accom-modate all parts on the brine tank itself.
1. Controller/ Touch Panel
central operating controls for controlling pressure, speed and injection mode. Optional: Touch panel with available user and recipe management.
2. Injection and Tenderizer
with retraction block. For 1- and 2-way injection from 10% to over 90% injection rate. Multiple needle configurations always allow an optimum stitch pattern.
3. Brine Tubes
Brine-conducting parts outside the machine, special hygienic design of the tubes by pressing.
4. Hygienic Design
Good accessibility of all parts for easy cleaning and inspection. Loosening only two screws allows easy opening of the manifold for quick an efficient cleaning.
5. Brine Biltration FT 130 (Option)
with suction filter and rotary drum filter. Standard: three-stage filtration with 1 mm and 2 mm filter plates plus an additional filter net and suction filter.
6. Pump
with full residual brine draining, separation from the brine basin possible without tools.
