The Fomaco M3

The Fomaco M3
injection excellence

Tailored to fit every specific need possible, we give you the ultimate injector-tenderizer. Increase your production volume and optimize your production flow with the excellent M3.

The M3 comes in four different sizes, each with a different number of head configurations available, allowing for total customization. Due to the modular design, identical programs and because the exact same construction principles have been applied to all components and controls, installation and use have never been easier.

The Fomaco M3

MAXIMUM MOVEMENT CONTROL

With the M3 you are the one in control. Independent spindle motors for each needle head enable the M3 to adapt to the height of your product. It is even possible to define the movement range of the needle head from top to bottom, giving you an unprecedented control of the salt and marinade distribution. The linear acceleration during injection ensures a uniform salt distribution from top to bottom.

RELIABLE - EVEN IN AGGRESSIVE ENVIRONMENTS

The M3 is a series of thoroughly tested, high quality production machines designed to operate in highly demanding and aggressive production environments. The ‘box-in-box’ construction seals and protects critical electrical components and controls from water ingress, humidity and atmospheric salt.

OPTIMIZED FLOW FROM PUMP TO PRODUCT

At Fomaco we constantly improve and enhance the performance of our machines. Our use of state-of-the-art pump systems has eliminated dead zones and low flow areas, ensuring a constant pressure and a precise flow rate. The result is a uniform brine distribution - regardless of product type, size and number of needles.

NTELLIGENT SOFTWARE FOR IMPROVED PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

To provide a smooth and uncomplicated production process the M3 comes with advanced, built-in software. Remote Device Manager (RDM) allows for troubleshooting and updating of the machine directly from the Fomaco facility in Denmark. This both saves valuable production time and minimizes potential downtime. In addition to providing an unlimited number of preprogrammed production profiles, many routines are fully automated:

  • Automatic lubrication
  • Automatic monitoring of brine temperature
  • Automatic control of min. pump pressure
  • Automatic troubleshooting
  • Automatic cleaning program

Everything is controlled from the both user friendly and highly intuitive touch screen mounted on a swing arm for convenient operation at all angles.

Last but not least data such as temperature and brine levels are transmitted from filters and brine mixers/storage tanks, while the Inline Weight Controller (IWC) constantly monitors the injection quantity and corrects the settings in case of irregularities.

STATE-OF-THE-ART, SELF-CLEANING PROTEIN FILTER

The M3 comes with a fully self-cleaning protein filter - the FM 80 - uniquely designed to remove all impurities in the brine, preventing the fine needle holes from blocking. This not only ensures an even brine distribution, it also eliminates operator involvement in filter cleaning and maintenance.
