A contactor apparatus (40) is adapted to expose a comminuted foodstuff (21) such as comminuted meat to a processing fluid such as gaseous or aqueous ammonia or carbon dioxide gas. The contactor apparatus (40) facilitates an even and consistent exposure to the processing fluid throughout the comminuted foodstuff as the foodstuff is pumped through a conduit. In order to produce this desired exposure to the processing fluid, the apparatus shapes the comminuted foodstuff into a relatively thin sheet or stream of material flowing through a contact passage (46). The processing fluid is then applied to this relatively thin sheet or stream of comminuted material from a processing fluid chamber (49). A fluid communication arrangement between the fluid chamber and the contact passage (46) allows the flow of processing fluid into the contact passage (46) and into contact with the sheet of foodstuff flowing through the contact passage (46).

Un contacteur (40) est conçu de façon à exposer un produit alimentaire haché (21) tel que de la viande hachée à un fluide de traitement tel que de l'ammoniac liquide ou gazeux ou qu'un gaz carbonique. Ce contacteur (40) facilite une exposition uniforme et continue de ce fluide de traitement avec ce produit alimentaire haché lorsque le produit est pompé à travers un conduit. Aux fins de réaliser l'exposition recherchée à ce fluide de traitement, l'appareil met en forme le produit alimentaire haché en une feuille relativement mince ou en un flux de matière s'écoulant à travers un passage (46) de contact. Ce fluide de traitement en provenance d'une chambre (49) de fluide de traitement est ensuite appliqué à cette feuille relativement mince ou à ce flux de matière hachée. Un agencement de communication de fluide entre cette chambre de fluide et le passage (46) de contact permet au liquide de traitement de s'écouler dans le passage (46) de contact et d'entrer en contact avec la feuille de produit alimentaire s'écoulant à travers ce passage (46) de contact.
