Abstract
An apparatus for industrial tenderization of meat by the use of an explosive creating shock waves in water in a processor tank (300) which the meat is immersed. The processor tank includes an upper opening (313). A turntable or carousel (10) rotates to bring over the upper opening: an access hole (13) for loading and unloading the meat; a blast shield (100) to contain the explosion; and a water changer (200) for removing tainted water and adding fresh water. The water changer includes an upper cistern (250), fed by a water supply line (273), and a lower hollow basin (230). When the water changer is lowered into the processing tank by pneumatic cylinder (270), tainted water in flows through basin valves (233). Then the basin valves are closed, the water changer is lifted up, and the water is drained at another position. Before the water changer is raised, the processor tank is refilled with water stored in the cistern.
