GAROS Tumblers
Since 1985, GAROS has been focused on cured meats, building Injectors, Massagers, Brine Mixers, Ham Stuffers and Net Loaders. In each of the product lines, have strived for excellence in construction. GAROS also believes in including a full range of standard features, designed to meet the customers' operating demands. This line of Multi-Displacement Flights or "MDF" Massagers is another example of the GAROS manufacturing philosophy.
The MDF Massagers include such features as hydraulically operated full-tilt drums, jacket cooling, microprocessor controls, load cells, easy access service compartment for vacuum, electric and hydraulic components, and a full range of safety features.
As the name implies, our MDF Massagers are built with a uniquely designed set of asymmetric flights inside. The result of this design is an advanced Four-Way product movement, which produces a superior massaging action. This feature allows you to "dial-in" the massager to fit the processing demands of a wide range of pork, beef, poultry and seafood products. The MDF can also be adapted for different applications, such as defrosting, CO2 or N2 refrigeration, and marinating.
The drum is equipped with a cooling jacket for efficiently cooling products. The cooling area is more than double compared to other refrigeration designs.
The tilting feature has several benefits. In combination with the large 35 inch (900 mm) opening makes loading and unloading fast and easy. It also allows for filling up to 65% capacity. Tilting the drum forward makes discharge fast; ensures that no meat residue is left in the drum and no air is introduced into the meat during discharge. It also makes cleaning fast, easy and consistently complete - important for ensuring food safety.
The lid is hydraulically actuated and is controlled from the operator's panel.
All common maintenance components are accessible from the front of the machine. For simple access and maintenance, the vacuum pump and the hydraulic power pack are mounted on sliding drawers. The electrical cabinet also swings out for easy access.
The Stainless Steel IP67 electrical cabinet is built in a sealed all welded motor compartment. In order to prevent moisture in the electrical and motor compartment, air fans are included as a standard feature.
The advanced microprocessor is easy to operate, and stores up to 50 programs. The programming ability is unsurpassed - flexible and adaptable to each product type and circumstance. Each program consists of 6 steps; each step consists of 2 phases. In each step and phase the following parameters can be set: Total process time, pause time, start-up time, vacuum percentage, vacuum cycles, meat temperature, rotation speed, and rotating direction. These parameters allow making the adapted programs superior for each product requirement to obtain maximum yield on the final product.
We have methodically designed in safety features such as a stainless steel safety fence around the entire danger area. This ensures full protection regardless of the drum position.
The temperature is regulated by an Infrared sensor coupled to the control panel and automated refrigeration controls.
The degree of protein extraction from a meat system is a function of time and energy inputs. However, controlling the application of both friction and impact energy to the system is critical in order to maintain muscle structure, especially with sensitive products like poultry. Effective, but yet gentle action protects the product's integrity. Some manufacturers believe a large amount of flights is the answer. However, the massaging action is not done by the flights alone. It's the way the flights move the meat, and then how they create meat-on-meat massaging action.
GAROS has achieved a unique Four-Way movement of the products due to the MDF - Multi Displacement Flights - which have shown to deliver a superior and unparalleled massaging action.
