Abstract
A brine injection system with a plurality of needles, which are inserted into a product and through which brine is injected into the product. Brine which does not end up in the product is collected and recycled, and during recycling, the brine flows through a filter. The filter includes a filter element, along which unfiltered brine flows in a flow-direction and through which filtered brine passes and which holds back residues in the unfiltered brine. The filter element includes a multitude of slots, each with a main extension direction which extends parallel to the flow direction of the brine.
