This Karpowicz MK-2000 is a vacuum tumbler — sometimes referred to as a meat massager — designed for the vacuum plasticisation and massage of various meat types during the pickling and curing process in the production of meat products and smoked meats. Karpowicz is a Polish manufacturer with a recognised presence in the meat processing equipment sector, building machinery suited to the demands of professional food production environments. This unit is sized for medium and large meat industry plants, offering a drum capacity of 2,000 litres and a maximum load of 1,400 kg.
The machine is constructed entirely from stainless steel and acid-resistant materials, reflecting the high hygiene standards required in food processing applications. The drum and all contact surfaces are built to withstand the aggressive cleaning regimes typical of commercial meat production facilities.
Control is handled by a Mikster MCM 023 microprocessor controller, which manages all key process parameters from a single panel. The controller governs autostart, drum rotation, working time, rest intervals, total massage duration, and the vacuum level applied during individual massage phases. Drum rotation speed is variable, allowing the process to be tailored to different product types and pickling requirements.
In operation, meat and pickling mixture are loaded into the drum together. Air is evacuated from the tank via a mechanical vent valve, and the programmed massage cycle then runs automatically. Once the cycle is complete, the massaged meat is discharged by gravity into a receiving container below.
The electrical supply requirement is 400 V, 50 Hz, three-phase, and the installed motor power is 5.1 kW. Overall machine dimensions are 2,800 × 1,400 × 2,200 mm. The unit does not feature a cooling jacket. This used machine is located in Poland.
