Introduction to vacuum marinating machine

The vacuum pickling machine is a piece of equipment used for food processing. It is mainly used for pickling, pickling and salting of food in a vacuum state. This equipment usually consists of a sealed marinating chamber and a vacuum pump system.

How to operate a vacuum marinating machine？

​

1. Prepare ingredients: Prepare the ingredients that need to be marinated, usually cleaning and processing them first.

2. Preparation of pickling liquid: Prepare appropriate pickling liquid according to the needs of the ingredients, including salt, sugar, spices, soy sauce, etc.

3. Place ingredients: Place prepared ingredients in containers in the marinating chamber.

4. Vacuum treatment: Start the vacuum pump system to extract the air from the marinating room to create a vacuum state. In a vacuum state, the cellular structure of the food will be more susceptible to penetration by the pickling liquid.

5. Pickling process: In a vacuum state, the pickling liquid is injected into the pickling chamber to fully soak the ingredients and pickle them within a certain period of time. The marinating time and temperature depend on the type of ingredients and marinating requirements.

6. Degassing: After the marinating is completed, the vacuum can be broken by injecting gas into the marinating chamber so that the marinated ingredients can be taken out

The use of a vacuum pickling machine can effectively improve the pickling efficiency and quality of ingredients, allowing them to absorb the pickling liquid more evenly, while reducing the presence of oxygen, which is beneficial to the preservation and preservation of ingredients.

Advantages of vacuum marinating machine

• Improve pickling efficiency: In a vacuum state, the cell structure of the ingredients is more susceptible to penetration by the pickling liquid, thus speeding up the pickling speed and allowing the ingredients to be pickled faster.

• Maintain the original flavor and nutrition of the ingredients: During the vacuum pickling process, the ingredients are in a closed environment, which can reduce the contact with oxygen and prevent the occurrence of oxidation reactions, thus maintaining the original flavor and nutrients of the ingredients.

• Improve the texture of food ingredients: Vacuum pickling can fully penetrate the pickling liquid into the food, making the food more tender and juicy, and at the same time improving the taste and texture of the food.

• Extend the shelf life of food ingredients: Vacuum marinating can effectively remove oxygen on the surface and inside of food ingredients, slowing down the growth and decay of microorganisms, thereby extending the shelf life of food ingredients.

• Improve production efficiency: Vacuum pickling machines usually adopt automated control systems, which are easy to operate, have high production efficiency, and can meet the needs of large-scale production.

• Reduce food waste: Vacuum pickling can extend the shelf life of food ingredients, reduce food loss and waste, and help reduce production costs and improve economic benefits.

Diamond-shaped drum VS Round drum

1. Structure type

• Diamond-shaped drum: Diamond rollers usually have a rhombus or hexagonal structure, and there are usually many rhombus or hexagonal protrusions inside. When food rolls in the drum, a large contact area can be formed between the protrusions, which is beneficial to Uniform marinating or handling of food.

• Round drum: The round drum has a cylindrical structure with a smooth internal surface and no protrusions. The contact area of food when rolling in the drum is relatively small.

2. Working principle

• Diamond-shaped drum: The diamond-shaped drum has a wide contact surface through the rotation of the drum, allowing the food to continuously roll and flip in the drum, thereby achieving uniform pickling or processing of the food.
• Round drum: The round drum also makes the food roll and flip inside the drum through the rotation of the drum. However, due to its smooth surface, the friction between the foods is smaller, and the contact surface is not as wide as the diamond drum, and the permeability is relatively poor.

3.  Application

• Diamond-shaped drum: Due to its structural characteristics, diamond-shaped drum is usually more suitable for pickling, soaking, softening and other processing processes that require a large contact area, such as marinating meat, seafood, vegetables, etc.

• Round drum: Although the contact area of the round drum is small, due to its smooth surface, it is suitable for some processing techniques that have high requirements on food surfaces and do not require large-area contact, such as sugar coating, chocolate coating, etc.

How long does it take to marinate？

The time required for marinating ingredients depends on many factors, including the type, size, shape of the ingredients, the recipe of the marinating liquid, the temperature and pressure of the marinating, etc.

1. Meats: Marinating times are usually longer and can take anywhere from a few hours to more than a day. Larger pieces of meat such as beef and pork may take longer to ensure that the marinade fully penetrates into the meat. Small cuts or thin slices of meat may take a relatively short time to marinate.
2. Seafood: The marinating time of seafood ingredients such as fish and shrimp is usually short, which may only take tens of minutes to a few hours.
3. Vegetables: Vegetables are usually marinated for a shorter time, which can range from just a few minutes to a few hours. Harder vegetables such as carrots and celery may take longer to pickle and develop flavor.
4. Beans and soy products: Marinating times are usually longer and can take anywhere from a few hours to more than a day.

Application scenarios of pickling machine

• Meat processing: Vacuum marinating machines are often used in the processing of meat products, including beef, pork, poultry, etc. Vacuum marinating allows the marinating liquid to penetrate into the meat more quickly, increasing the texture, tenderness and flavor of the meat products.

• Seafood processing: For seafood ingredients such as fish, shrimp, shellfish, etc., the vacuum marinating machine can help speed up the marinating process, improve the freshness and taste of seafood, while retaining its original flavor and nutrients.

• Processing of soy products: Soy products such as tofu, dried tofu, etc. can also be processed through vacuum curing machines to improve their taste and freshness and extend their shelf life.

• Vegetable processing: Some vegetable ingredients such as carrots, celery, etc. can also be pickled through a vacuum pickling machine to increase their flavor and taste and extend their shelf life.

• Condiment manufacturing: Some condiments such as soy sauce, sauces, etc. can also be produced and processed through vacuum marinating machines to make them richer and more fragrant.

• Portable food processing: For scenarios that require portable food processing, the vacuum marinating machine can also be an ideal choice, such as when you need to process ingredients while camping or traveling.
