Methods and apparatuses are presented for the steam pasteurization of the meat to heat the surface of the meat and reduce surface contamination. One example of an apparatus for reducing surface contamination of meat includes a dewatering region, a steam region, a coolant region, and a controller. The dewatering region includes at least one dewatering element for directing a dewatering fluid at a piece of meat to remove surface water from the meat. The steam region includes at least one steam valve for directing steam at the piece of meat to heat the surface of the meat. The coolant region has at least one coolant element for directing a coolant fluid at the piece of meat to cool the meat. The controller is configured and arranged to control a conveyor to move the piece of meat from the dewatering region to the steam region, to stop the piece of meat in the steam region while steam is directed at the piece of meat, and to move the meat from the steam region to the coolant region.

La présente invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs destinés à l'upérisation de la viande, afin de chauffer la surface de la viande et de réduire la contamination en surface. Un exemple de dispositif permettant de réduire la contamination à la surface de la viande comprend une zone de déshydratation, une zone de vapeur, un zone de refroidissement et un régulateur. La zone de déshydratation comprend au moins un élément de déshydratation qui permet de diriger un fluide asséchant sur un morceau de viande afin d'éliminer l'eau à la surface de la viande. La zone de vapeur comprend au moins une soupape de vapeur pour diriger la vapeur vers le morceau de viande afin d'en chauffer la surface. La zone de refroidissement comprend au moins un élément de refroidissement permettant de diriger un fluide de refroidissement vers le morceau de viande, afin de le refroidir. Le régulateur est conçu et configuré pour réguler un transporteur permettant de faire passer la viande de la zone de déshydratation à la zone de vapeur, d'arrêter le morceau de viande dans la zone de vapeur pendant que la vapeur est dirigée vers le morceau de viande, et de transporter la viande de la zone de vapeur à la zone de refroidissement.
