Production process
From loading the mixture to forming finished balls
01Loading the mixture
The operator loads the food mixture into the machine hopper.
02Feeding the unit
The mixture enters the forming area.
03Ball forming
Forming rollers produce balls of the specified size.
04Product discharge
Formed balls are discharged evenly onto the conveyor.
- Efficient production
- Consistent quality
- Process automation
- Uniform product size
Precise forming and consistent size
The machine portions the mixture and forms products with repeatable parameters. This helps maintain consistent size, a neat appearance and uniform weight in every batch.
Processing soft food mixtures
Results depend on moisture content, temperature, fat content, the amount of starch or flour, and recipe uniformity.
For new products, testing with the customer's actual mixture is recommended.
Stainless steel housing
Smooth metal surfaces make cleaning easier after processing cheese, potato and dough mixtures and help maintain production hygiene.
Quick-release
design
Working components can be quickly removed for cleaning and sanitising. This is particularly important when switching between cheese, potato and dough recipes.
Compact footprint
in your facility
The compact design allows installation in a small prepared-food or dairy facility without a complete redesign of the production area.
