A multiple-use injection machine of the type used in food processing, is especially suited for selectively injecting treatment media into meat products including, inter alia, beef, pork, whole chickens and chicken parts. The treatment media is chose from a group including both liquid aqueous solutions utilized at normal ambient temperatures and normal operating pressures and a thermal treatment medium such as live steam at elevated temperatures and pressures. The multiple utilitarian capacity in a single injector machine is achieved by the use of bushings supporting the needles in their vertical position and supporting a seal in the manifold, but wherein the bushings are made of either a Polyetheretherketone material, or stainless steel, and the O-rings used for sealing are made of VITON brand heat resistant material or âTEFLONâ brand.
