This used vacuum tumbler is a piece of meat processing equipment designed to marinate, tenderise, and massage meat products by tumbling them under vacuum conditions. The process — sometimes referred to as vacuum massaging — draws marinade and brine deep into the muscle tissue, improving flavour penetration, texture, and yield. Gernal is a Belgian manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the food processing industry, producing equipment for meat preparation and handling operations.
The drum loading rate is set at 50 to 55 percent of total drum volume, a standard practice that ensures product tumbles effectively rather than simply sliding, maximising mechanical action on the meat. Rotation speed is adjustable, allowing operators to tailor the tumbling programme to different product types and marinade requirements. Control is handled through a dedicated control box equipped with PLC automation, enabling precise programming of cycle times, speed, and vacuum parameters.
The machine is also fitted with a water filter, supporting clean operation and protecting internal components. Overall dimensions are approximately 3,500 mm in length, 1,400 mm in width, and 2,100 mm in height, giving a useful indication of the floor space and clearance required for installation. The machine is offered in used condition and is located in Belgium.
