ABSTRACT:
A meat injection machine has a fluid manifold with a plurality of fluid reservoirs, and a group of injection needles associated with each reservoir. Each needle is slidably mounted in a stripper tube which in turn is slidably mounted in the fluid manifold. A valve on the upper end of the stripper tube seats on a valve seat on the upper end of the needle. A stripper pad is mounted on the lower end of each stripper tube and slidably embraces the lower end of each needle. Each fluid reservoir has a fluid pressure regulator to adjust fluid pressure on each reservoir. The method of injecting fluid into meat entails weighing the meat product, injecting it with fluid, weighing the injected meat product, comparing that weight with a target weight, and adjusting the fluid pressure in each reservoir so that the next meat product will have its injected weight adjusted towards the target weight if a weight variance with the target weight exists with respect to the first injected meat product.
