ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a device and a method for introducing liquids into meat containing bones and/or cartilage or connective tissue, e.g. in the slaughtered body of poultry as well as in legs and belly meat, in order to treat, season, and/or preserve said meat. The aim of the invention is to create a device and a method which make it possible to simultaneously introduce exactly defined, even very small quantities of water, brine, preservatives, seasoning liquids, and/or other liquids in a manner that is adapted to the anatomy of the body of the slaughtered animal, even into meat containing bones and/or cartilage or connective tissue, within a very short period of time on almost any conveying unit, even an existing one, and even on a slaughtering conveyor belt, without using any needle while being highly effective and highly reliable, having a robust structure, and providing minimal tolerance of the injected quantity. Said aim is achieved by a device for introducing liquids into meat, comprising a base frame (1). Said device is characterized by the fact that one or several machine frame/s (3) is/are arranged in a rigid manner or so as to he movable in a linear direction on the base frame (1) while one/several injection device/s (6) which is/are used for needle-free injection and is/are connected to one/several high pressure unit/s (4) via one/several liquid distribution system/s (5) is/are disposed on the machine frame/s (3), each injection device (6) comprising one or several nozzle pipe/s (7) on which one or several spray nozzle/s (8) is/are arranged and which is/are disposed on the machine frame (3) so as to be deliverable. The inventive method is characterized by the fact that each of the nozzle pipes (7) as well as one/several spray lance/s (6) can he separately impinged upon by an identical and/or different, precisely defined pressure that is applied to different liquids for identical and/or different, exactly defined periods of time.
