Lumar-Ideal II Inc. Model LU500 Vacuum Tumbler

This machine is used in commercial food processing to marinate, tenderize, and preserve large quantities of meat, poultry, and seafood. It works by pulling air out of a large rotating drum to create a vacuum seal while tumbling the food inside.

Specs:

• Amperage (AMP): 12 Amps
• Pump Serial Number: XD20114
• Voltage (VOLTS): 115 Volts AC
• Phase (PH): 1 Phase
• Frequency (HZ): 60 Hz

Core Functions:

• Accelerates Marination: The vacuum pressure expands the muscle tissue of the meat. This opens up the pores and pulls marinades, liquids, and spices deep into the center in minutes instead of days
• Tenderizes Meat: The mechanical tumbling action repeatedly drops the meat against the inside of the drum. This breaks down tough muscle fibers and connective tissues without shredding the product
• Increases Product Weight: Tumbling under vacuum forces the meat to absorb and retain fluids and brines. This adds moisture, improves the final cooking yield, and prevents the meat from drying out
• Extends Shelf Life: Removing air (oxygen) from the drum during processing slows down bacterial growth and delays the oxidation process

Common Industries:

• Butcher Shops: For bulk-marinating meats, fajita strips, or chicken wings
• Meat Packing Plants: For processing bacon, hams, and bulk deli meats
• Commercial Kitchens: For preparing large batches of protein ahead of peak service hours
