Vacuum Tumbling Marinator for Chicken Tenders and Wings

The working principle of the tumbler involves using the physical impact principle in a vacuum state to make meat blocks or minced meat tumble up and down inside the drum, colliding with each other and being beaten, thereby achieving massaging and marinating effects. The marinade is fully absorbed by the meat, enhancing the binding force and elasticity of the meat, improving the taste and cross-section effect of the product; it can enhance water retention, increase the yield; and it can improve the internal structure of the product.

Features of the vacuum tumbler:

1. Using a vacuum tumbler allows the marinade to be evenly absorbed into the raw meat, quickly marinating the product to make it flavorful.

2. Marinating with a vacuum tumbler enhances the binding force of the meat and improves its elasticity.

3. Meat products marinated with a vacuum tumbler ensure the sliceability of the meat, preventing it from breaking or cracking during slicing.

A tumbler is a modern food processing equipment widely used in meat processing, marinating, canned food production, and the catering industry. Through mechanical tumbling and massaging, it makes meat more tender and flavorful, improving the quality and taste of the product. This article will introduce the working principle, types, features, and application scenarios of tumblers. (Food processing machinery manufacturer Tel: 138*5448-1138)
I. Working Principle of the Tumbler
The tumbler makes meat more tender and flavorful during processing through tumbling and massaging. Its working principle is mainly based on the following two aspects:
1. Tumbling Effect: The tumbler uses forward and reverse rotation to make meat blocks continuously tumble, collide, and rub inside the drum, gradually softening the surface of the meat blocks. The internal muscle fibers are appropriately stretched and compressed, making the meat blocks more tender.
2. Massaging Effect: During the tumbling process, the meat blocks are subjected to certain pressure and friction. These forces act on the surface and muscle fibers of the meat blocks, similar to the effect of manual massaging, helping to promote blood circulation inside the meat blocks and relax the muscle fibers, making the meat more tender and delicious.

Types of Tumblers
Depending on their structure and function, tumblers can be divided into the following types:
1. Horizontal Tumbler: The horizontal tumbler is a common type of tumbler with a simple structure and easy operation. It is usually made of stainless steel and equipped with mixing blades inside to stir and tumble large pieces of meat. This equipment is suitable for meat processing plants and the catering industry where large quantities of meat need to be processed.
2. Vertical Tumbler: The vertical tumbler is a device suitable for small-batch processing, with a compact structure and small footprint. It is usually made of transparent glass or acrylic, allowing the operator to observe the tumbling process at any time. This equipment is suitable for small food processing enterprises and individual workshops.
3. Vacuum Tumbler: The vacuum tumbler is a modern tumbling device that can perform tumbling and massaging in a vacuum environment. This equipment can effectively remove gases from the meat blocks, reduce oxidation and discoloration during processing, and improve the quality and shelf life of the product. It is suitable for meat processing plants and canned food production enterprises where long-term preservation is required.
4. Frequency Conversion Tumbler: The frequency conversion tumbler is an energy-saving and environmentally friendly device that uses frequency conversion technology to adjust the tumbling speed and time according to different processing needs. This equipment can effectively reduce energy consumption and noise pollution, improving production efficiency and product quality. It is suitable for food processing enterprises and the catering industry with high environmental requirements.
