摘要

A rotary drum (6), e.g. for pickling meat or fish products in brine, which has an opening (15) at one end with a cover (17) and is able to rotate about its lengthwise axis and pivot on a transverse rocking axis (11), is new. The rotary drum (6), e.g. for pickling meat or fish products in brine, has an opening (15) at one end with a cover (17) and is able to rotate about its lengthwise axis and pivot on a transverse rocking axis (11). The cover turns on a bar (18) which pivots about an axis (19) on an arm (20) pivoting on the transverse axis (11). It also has a lock with a compensator to limit the movement of the arm about the transverse axis when the cover is open. The drum, which is mounted in a supporting cradle (5) with a power cylinder to tilt it and a single motor to rotate it, has an inner mixing blade extending radially along its whole length from its opening (15) to its base (13).
