Smart processors understand the importance of proper brine and marinade preparation. Dissolving ingredients correctly and precisely is key, and often the first step in many food processing applications – from injection and massaging to tumbling and marination.
JBT Schröder BRIMAX 350 – Brine Preparation System
BRIMAX technology enables the production of all conventional brines in standardized process quality and under the highest hygiene requirements.
The ideal complement for all ECOLINE series injectors is the BRIMAX 350 brine mixer, which is suitable for producing up to 2800 liters of brine per shift for all injection processes. The brine reliably produced with this system can also be used in massaging and tumbling processes.
A centrifugal pump with impeller technology mixes water and additives very effectively, ensuring fast and uniform mixing of solid and liquid brine components. The optionally available hopper facilitates the addition of the components and the integrated Venturi system enables lump-free addition of the dry substances.
Features & Benefits
- Provision of up to 350 liters of brine per hour
- Consistent quality due to standardized production
- Compliance with all hygiene requirements
- High quality processing and powerful pump
Details
- machine length: 1,130 mm
- machine width: 1020 mm (without hopper), 1480 mm (with hopper)
- machine height: 1330 mm (closed), 2110 mm (open)
- volume: max. 350 liters
- electrical connection: 3 x Ph/PE 400/440 V, 50/60 Hz
JBT Schröder BRIMAX 600 – Brine Preparation System
Standardized brine, highest hygiene
BRIMAX technology allows the production of all types of brine in standardised product quality and under the most stringent hygiene requirements. With the new BRIMAX 600 all kind of brines used in injection, massing and/or tumbling procedures can be produced. Proven components for the core functions, such as the mixing nozzle and rotary pump design, have been tried and tested for many years with the BRIMAX 1000 and BRIMAX 2000 models.
The container size of 600 liters offers great flexibility in the production of different types. The provision for the production process takes place by standard trolleys.
Features and Benefits
- 600 liter tank capacity
- Fresh water quantity can be defined in the control
- Fill level and brine temperature can be checked at any time via the display
- Robust level sensing via float
- Permanently installed hopper for feeding additives
- Hygienic design, open base frame, control cabinet design, single cable routing
- Proven components for core functions adopted from the BRIMAX 1000/2000 (e.g. mixing nozzle and rotary pump design)
- Simplified maintenance due to easy accessibility of the rotary pump
- No compressed air required; disc valves are switched manually
- Lid with latch to protect the product from contamination
- Optional filling pipe for 200 liter standard trolley
JBT Schröder BRIMAX 1000/2000 – Brine Preparation System
Standardized brine, highest hygiene
BRIMAX technology allows the production of all types of brine used in injection, massing and/or tumbling procedures, whilst maintaining a standardized product quality under the most stringent hygiene requirements. A unique feature is the software, which has been developed and refined using years of experience, that performs, controls and documents the entire system, as the operator.
Higher performance thanks to modular design
For high brine quantity requirements, the BRIMAX 1000 also comes with a 2000 liter tank – the BRIMAX 2000 brine preparation system makes it possible to produce very large quantities of brine with just a few rudimentary steps. The functionality and the program of options are identical to those of the BRIMAX 1000.
The BRIMAX systems can be extended practically without limit. Tanks for pre-cooling the fresh water are possible, which reduce the cooling time in the mixing tank while also ensuring that a standardized water temperature is used for mixing brine.
Expansion of the system with multiple storage tanks has the advantage that different types of brine can be mixed successively in the mixer. Storage of these brines with recipe-specific temperatures and interval mixing times, as well as the supply of the injector, is performed autonomously by the storage tank.
The intelligently designed control ensures safe operation.
Features & Benefits
- The BRIMAX mixer ensures precise merging of solid and liquid components, system-guided procedures, controlled mixing processes through to the automatically monitored result of the finished, properly chilled brine
- The BRIMAX control unit is the central management panel of the system. Equipped with a large 10“ touch panel, it allows to work both in automatic or manual mode. Automatic control, which guides the operator through each step, organizes the mixing and cooling of the brine according to the specified recipes (ingredients with weight, mixing times, temperature settings). The manual mode functions include mixing, cooling and pumping out by using manual input.
- The BRIMAX storage tank ensures that the consumers (injector, massager, loading container, tumbler) are supplied with brine. Optional equipment with agitator/shear pump and thermo plate ensures a constant temperature and homogeneous brine. An important option for the brine mixer, it represents the perfect complement to the Schröder brine processing system. It is perfectly integrated into the system, representing the link between brine preparation and injection.
Options & Models
- Various basic tanks are available
- Agitators for continuous brine mixing
- Cleaning nozzles for an automated cleaning procedure
- Shear pump, which uses its special design for an effective mixing process that achieves a homogeneous mixing result for difficult brines. The shear pump optimizes the introduction of difficult soluble additives, such as potato starch, vegetable proteins etc. and reduces the mixing times of all brines
- Depending on the brine specification, a plate or pipe-heat-exchanger can be used as a cooling device

Wolf-tec Polar Dissolver Models & Options
Shear Mixer
The dissolver mix tank can be supplied with a high-shear mixer to provide additional mixing and dissolving capacity. The shear mixer is ideal for ingredients that resist blending – such as solids that must be broken down or high-viscosity liquids that must be evenly distributed throughout the mixture. The high-shear mixture can reduce particle size and prevent downstream clogging issues during injection for even the most challenging pickles and brines.
Foil Mixer
The Dissolver hold tank can be fitted with a foil mixer to deliver gentle mixing and agitation. The foil mixer is designed to create uniform flow with minimal agitation to allow for the continued suspension of ingredients in the solution such as proteins and starches. The foil mixer is designed to maintain the quality and uniformity of more difficult or delicate brines and pickles.
