Abstract

Systems and methods for providing food intervention, pumping up, and tenderization are discussed. While such systems can include any suitable component, in some cases, they include a needleless spray nozzle head that injects injectade into food without requiring the head to contact the food. In some cases, the head comprises an elongated needleless spray bar that defines multiple internal fluid channels that extend from a first end to a second end of the spray bar. In some cases, the head comprises a manifold system with a first manifold portion at the first end and a second manifold portion at the second end of the spray bar. In some cases, the first manifold portion directs the injectade towards the second end, and the second manifold portion directs the injectade towards the first end of the elongated needleless spray bar. Other implementations are described.

Claims2

Dependent claims

A needleless spray nozzle head that comprises:

an elongated member having a first fluid channel and a second fluid channel that each extend from a first end of the elongated member towards a second end of the elongated member that is disposed substantially opposite to the first end of the elongated member, wherein the first fluid channel and the second fluid channel each have at least one needleless nozzle, and wherein a longitudinal axis of the at least one needleless nozzle of the first fluid channel runs at a first intersecting angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of a portion of the first fluid channel;
and
a first manifold portion that is disposed at the first end of the elongated member and that is configured to receive a first flow of an injectade and to help divide the first flow of the injectade and to direct a portion of the first flow of the injectade from the first end of the elongated member into each of the first fluid channel and the second fluid channel.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
