ABSTRACT:
A means for injecting fluid into food products is described. The machine comprises a support having a conveyor mounted thereon for conveying the food product from the rearward thereof toward the forward end thereof. A first fluid manifold is movably mounted on the frame above the conveyor and is movable between upper and lower positions wtih respect to the conveyor. A second fluid manifold is movably mounted on the frame above the conveyor rearwardly of the first fluid manifold. A linkage connects the first and second manifolds to a source of power so that the first and second fluid manifolds are 180.degree. out of phase with each other. Each of the first and second fluid manifolds comprises a plurality of smaller individual fluid manifolds which are individually fluidly connected to the source of injection fluid. Each of the individual fluid manifolds includes a stripper plate assembly which not only strips the food product from the needles but which functions as a fluid control valve so that injection fluid is injected into the food product only after the injection needles have moved a predetermined distance into the food product and halts the flow of fluid to the needles at a predetermined depth as the needles are being withdrawn from the food product. The machine includes means for continuously moving the conveyor and for permitting the fluid manifolds to move with the food product as the injection needles are penetrating the food product.
