The Ekomex MV 800 is a used vacuum tumbler — sometimes referred to as a meat massager — manufactured in 2011 and currently located in Poland. Vacuum tumblers are used in meat processing to marinate, cure, and massage cuts of meat under reduced pressure, promoting deeper brine penetration, more uniform seasoning distribution, and improved protein extraction, all of which contribute to better texture, flavour, and shelf life in the finished product. Ekomex is a Polish manufacturer with an established presence in the food processing equipment sector, producing machinery principally for the meat industry.
The machine is built around an 800-litre drum, giving it a mid-range capacity well suited to small and medium-scale production environments. The optimal working load is up to 50 percent of total drum volume, equating to approximately 400 litres of product per cycle, a loading ratio that is standard practice for effective tumbling action. Drum rotation speed is adjustable from 1 to 8 RPM, allowing operators to tailor the tumbling programme to the specific requirements of different products — slower speeds for delicate cuts such as poultry portions, and faster cycles for denser red meat items. The drum accommodates both boneless and bone-in product, adding to the machine's versatility across different processing lines.
The unit is constructed throughout in stainless steel, consistent with food industry hygiene standards and designed for durability in demanding production conditions. It supports both dry and wet marination techniques, and the vacuum-controlled processing environment ensures that brine and seasoning are drawn evenly into the muscle tissue rather than remaining at the surface. The machine's compact footprint makes it suitable for integration into existing processing lines without requiring significant changes to floor layout. This is a used example from 2011, offered in Poland.
