Overview: YS-231 High-Output Brine Injection Platform

The YS-231 High-Capacity Brine Injection Machine is engineered for the throughput and injection density that large-scale continuous meat processing operations require. With 231 stainless steel needles spanning a wider conveyor at 1.0 bar injection pressure driven by a 13.5 kW German Wilo pump, the YS-231 eliminates the limitation that lower needle-count machines face when handling wide-format products: the need for multiple passes to achieve adequate brine distribution across the full product cross-section.

This model is the right choice when your line processes whole pork legs, full beef topside slabs, large-format turkey or whole chickens in volume — products where the spatial relationship between needle pitch and product width determines injection uniformity. The YS-231’s extended conveyor width and 231-needle array match the dimensions of these large cuts, delivering consistent brine coverage from edge to edge in a single pass and at production rates that justify the machine’s higher power specification.

High-Capacity Injection Engineering

The YS-231 operates at 13.5 kW, the highest power specification in the YS range, driving the German Wilo pump to sustain 1.0 bar injection pressure continuously across all 231 needles simultaneously. Unlike systems that modulate pressure across needle banks to manage pump load, the YS-231 delivers consistent pressure at every needle throughout the injection stroke, ensuring that the product receives uniform brine concentration whether it is processed near the centre of the conveyor or at the edges.

With 231 individual needle positions across an extended 1900 mm machine width, the needle pitch spacing is calculated to match the surface area of large whole-muscle products. The tooth-type stepping feed drive advances the product at increments aligned with needle pitch spacing, so every square centimetre of the product surface receives a direct needle pass. This eliminates the injection shadowing effect that occurs when products wider than the needle array overhang the treatment zone.

At high throughput volumes, brine circuit integrity is critical. The YS-231 uses a high-flow Wilo pump specification matched to the 231-needle manifold volume requirement, with the same two-stage filtration circuit — suction filter and return filter — as the rest of the YS range. The Siemens PLC manages injection cycle timing, pump speed, conveyor step interval, and the between-batch air-purge sequence. All parameters are recipe-storable for fast product changeover.

Engineering Components

Component sourcing is non-negotiable on quality. The brine pump is German Wilo; the control system is Siemens; the bearings are SKF Sweden; the guide rod sleeves are igus Germany; and the manual electrical switches are Eaton USA. These choices are maintained across all production runs.

• Brine Pump: German Wilo centrifugal pump — up to 6 bar working pressure, long service life in continuous-run food environments.
• Control System: Siemens PLC with colour touchscreen HMI. Recipe storage, injection cycle management, and alarm logging.
• Guide Rods: Chrome-plated hardened steel guide rods with igus (Germany) self-lubricating polymer sleeves. No grease in the food zone; long service life.
• Мойынтіректер: SKF (Sweden) load-bearing elements throughout the needle head and conveyor drive assembly.
• Құрылыс: SUS304 food-grade stainless steel for all wetted surfaces, machine frame, conveyor, brine tank, and needle manifold.
• Electrical Switches: Eaton (USA) manual switches for primary electrical control. Rated for industrial food-processing environments.

Pre-Shipment Quality Testing

Warranty Coverage

Each unit carries a one-year factory warranty from arrival date. Coverage includes the full mechanical assembly — pump, guide rods, stepping feed drive, and PLC — with a spare parts kit enclosed for immediate maintenance needs.

Applications: Large-Format and High-Volume Processing

Production lines using the YS series typically position the injector after cutting and thawing and before tumbling or mixing. The machine handles the full range of bone-in and boneless red and white meat, including whole ham legs, pork shoulders, beef brisket, whole chickens, and large fish fillets with appropriate needle selection.

• Whole pork leg and shoulder at full-width dimensions
• Large beef topside and brisket slabs processed edge-to-edge
• Whole turkey and large poultry in continuous-line configuration
• Full-slab lamb forequarter and hindquarter cuts
• Industrial-scale deli and cooked-ham production
• High-volume export processing lines requiring maximum throughput

Engineering for Scale: What the YS-231 Delivers That Smaller Models Cannot

The YS-231 addresses a specific problem that high-volume processors encounter when attempting to scale output using multiple smaller-needle-count machines: as product dimensions increase and throughput requirements grow, the relationship between needle array width, needle pitch spacing, and conveyor step advance determines whether a single pass achieves adequate injection coverage or whether multiple passes — and the doubled line time they represent — become necessary.

The YS-231’s extended conveyor width and 231-needle array are dimensioned to match the cross-sectional area of large whole-muscle products. A 900 mm whole pork leg, a full beef topside slab, or a large-format turkey processed on the YS-231 receives complete edge-to-edge needle coverage in a single pass. The same product on a 140-needle machine at standard needle pitch spacing may require two passes at reduced throughput to achieve equivalent coverage — effectively halving the usable machine capacity for those product types.

High-Volume Production Reliability

At 13.5 kW and 231 needle positions, the YS-231 operates under higher sustained mechanical loads than the rest of the YS range. The machine’s engineering reflects this: chrome-plated guide rods of greater diameter than the YS-84 and YS-140 equivalents, igus sleeves rated for the higher cycle loads of a 231-needle head, and a Wilo pump selected specifically for the higher manifold volume requirement of the full needle count.

The Siemens PLC on the YS-231 manages the same parameter set as the smaller models — injection speed, brine pressure, conveyor step interval, air-purge timing — but with production-scale recipe management that allows your quality team to store and recall parameters for each product type, maintaining injection consistency across operators and across shifts.

Жиі қойылатын сұрақтар

What is the realistic throughput of the YS-231 in continuous production?

Throughput depends on product type, target injection rate, and conveyor step settings. For standard whole pork leg in a single-pass configuration, typical throughput ranges from 1,500 to over 2,500 kg per hour depending on product size and the injection rate specified. Our engineering team can model expected throughput for your specific product dimensions and injection requirements.

How does the YS-231 handle products narrower than the full conveyor width?

Narrower products are centred on the conveyor. Needles positioned outside the product boundary contact the conveyor surface and the pneumatic spring system absorbs this contact without damage. The brine circuit continues to operate normally; brine expelled through needles not in contact with product is returned to the tank via the recirculation system.

What power supply infrastructure is required for the YS-231?

The YS-231 requires a 380V / 50Hz / 3-phase supply capable of supporting a 13.5 kW sustained load. Ensure your facility’s electrical supply is rated for this demand before ordering. We recommend consulting your electrical contractor to confirm circuit capacity. Alternative voltage configurations are available on request.

Can the YS-231 be customised for specific needle configurations?

Custom needle pitch spacing and needle diameter specifications are available for volume orders. Adjustments to the needle array layout for specific product dimensions, unusual casing profiles, or high-viscosity brine formulations can be discussed during the quotation process. Contact our technical sales team with your product specifications.

What is the minimum order for the YS-231?

The YS-231 is project-quoted as complete industrial equipment. There is no fixed piece-count minimum. Single-unit orders are accepted and evaluated on the basis of configuration and total order value. Contact us to begin the quotation process.
