PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an injector for injecting a pickling liquid which reduces the amount of the pickling liquid which circulates without being supplied to a raw material meat block, compared with a conventional amount.SOLUTION: The injector for injecting the pickling liquid having a belt conveyor 1 for conveying the raw material meat block M, and an injection head 2 vertically movable for injecting the pickling liquid by pricking an injection needle 2a to the raw material meat block M includes: a meat block detecting sensor 3 provided separately at the upstream side of the injection head 2 for detecting the raw material meat block M and a controller 4 for adjusting the number of times that the belt conveyor 1 sends the belt based on the output signal S1 from the meat block detecting sensor 3, controlling the position of the raw material meat block M and controlling discharge of the pickling liquid of the injection head 2.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】原料肉塊に供給されず循環するピックル液の量を従来よりも少なくすることできるピックル液注入インジェクタを提供する。【解決手段】原料肉塊Mを搬送するベルトコンベア1と、前記原料肉塊Mに注入針2aを刺してピックル液を注入する上下動可能な注入ヘッド2とを備えたピックル液注入インジェクタにおいて、前記注入ヘッド2の上流側に離間して設けられ、前記原料肉塊Mを検知する肉塊検出センサ3と、前記肉塊検出センサ3からの出力信号S1に基づき、前記ベルトコンベア1のベルト送り回数を調整し、前記原料肉塊Mの位置を制御すると共に、前記注入ヘッド2の前記ピックル液の吐出を制御するコントロール手段4とを備える。【選択図】図1
