Abstract
A system and method for making processed meat products without the need for a vacuum system is disclosed. Meats and other meat product constituents are forced into a mixer having rotating elements for directing the constituents through a housing. The system limits the amount of air that is in contact with the constituents while resident within the housing, and provides high shear force to reduce the necessary mixing time.
