Meat brine injection machine is one of the crucial equipment in the meat processing industry, which injects brine into meat products in order to improve the water retention, flavor as well as texture of the meat. However, over a long period of time, brine injectors may encounter problems with salt crystal clogging, which not only affects the operating efficiency of the equipment, but can also lead to production stagnation and, in severe cases, even damage to the equipment. Therefore, understanding how to solve the salt crystal clogging problem is the key to ensure the long-term stable operation of the injection machine.
Causes of salt crystal clogging
The main causes of salt crystal clogging are usually related to the concentration of the brine solution, the environment in which the equipment is used, and the frequency of cleaning. When the concentration of brine solution is too high, or it has not been cleaned for a long time, salt will gradually be deposited inside the meat brine injection machine, especially at the pipes and needles, forming salt crystals. As the crystals gradually increase, they can clog the tubes and needles, resulting in uneven injections and affecting productivity.
How to prevent salt crystal clogging?
The best way to prevent salt crystals from clogging is to regularly clean and maintain your equipment, and Lonkia brine injectors are designed to help customers reduce the formation of salt crystals by providing easy disassembly and efficient cleaning. Regular cleaning not only removes salt residue from the inside of the equipment, but also removes other impurities to ensure long-term stable operation.
In addition, the use of an appropriate concentration of brine solution can also effectively reduce the formation of salt crystals. High brine concentrations not only crystallize easily, but can also have an unwanted effect on meat quality, and Lonkia meat brine injection machines offer a wide range of concentration adjustment options to help you precisely control the brine concentration and avoid salt crystal clogging.
Solutions for clogged salt crystals
If the brine injector is clogged with salt crystals, the first thing you need to do is to stop the machine immediately and check the brine channels and needles of the equipment for visible salt crystals. If a build-up of crystals is found, the equipment can be flushed with warm water or a cleaning agent to help loosen and dissolve the crystals. Lonkia brine injector machines are designed to allow the user to perform a quick clean-up, reduce downtime and get back to production.
If the salt crystal clogging problem is more serious, it is recommended to contact a service professional for an in-depth inspection and maintenance to ensure the equipment is returned to normal operation.
Overall, salt crystal clogging is one of the common failures in brine injectors, but it can be effectively reduced through proper prevention and maintenance. Lonkia meat brine injection machines are not only designed with a focus on ease of cleaning, but also provide precise control and a variety of automation features to help customers efficiently deal with salt crystal clogging and ensure the stable operation of the equipment. Regular inspection and cleaning of the equipment during use and selection of appropriate brine concentration will effectively prolong the service life of the equipment and enhance productivity.
