Abstract
A method and device for injecting liquid substances such as brine or paste into a piece of meat. During injection, the piece of meat, which is conveyed over a row of spray nozzles, is held in contact with a row of the nozzles, preferably by means of a pressure roller. The rotational shaft of the roller is situated opposite the row of spray nozzles. This allows for deforming the meat to a slab of predetermined thickness and prevents the injection stream from being atomized prematurely, that is, outside the meat. This results in a homogeneous distribution of the brining liquid in the meat.
