How does the Fomaco FGM 64 SC injector work?

Fomaco injection machines operate using a system of electronically controlled valves that deliver brine directly to the product via a precise needle array—the company refers to this approach as the “pump-to-product” system, which maintains constant fluid pressure and eliminates unevenness in brine distribution. As a result, the injection is uniform regardless of the size and shape of individual pieces of raw material, which translates to higher, repeatable yield and the absence of under- or over-cured areas in a production batch.

The FGM 64 SC injection head is equipped with 32 needles arranged in 4 rows—a total of 128 needles, each 3 mm thick—which, at low operating pressure, allows for gentle yet precise brine injection without excessively disrupting the meat’s tissue structure. The head’s design also allows for quick removal of the needle cassette, which significantly reduces cleaning time and ensures production hygiene.
Key advantages of the Fomaco FGM 64 SC injector

Injectors from this brand are valued above all for process repeatability and operational stability even under demanding production conditions—Fomaco designs its machines to perform “under extreme production conditions,” which directly translates to reliability in the day-to-day operations of a processing plant.

The precise injection system ensures uniform distribution of salt and other brine ingredients throughout the entire batch of raw material, which is particularly important in the production of cured meats, hams, pork shanks, and marinated poultry products, where the uniformity of curing directly affects the quality, flavor, and shelf life of the finished product. As a result, producers can count on a higher and more predictable final yield.

Applications of the Fomaco FGM 64 SC Injection Machine
The Fomaco FGM 64 SC injection machine is used in the processing of red meat, poultry, and fish—anywhere where the uniform and controlled introduction of brine or marinade into the raw material is of critical importance. The machine is well-suited for both the production of classic cured meats and hams, as well as for lines focused on marinating poultry portions or fish fillets, where gentle handling of the raw material and a high, consistent yield are essential.
