How It Works
The HMF Series Automatic Meat Forming Machine operates through a sophisticated hydraulic and PLC-controlled process:
Loading: Meat emulsion or vegetable mixture is loaded into the hopper.
Filling: Hydraulic system generates adjustable pressure (3-15 Mpa) to push product into the forming chamber.
Forming: Product is shaped into uniform patties, nuggets, or croquettes with precise weight control (≤1% error).
Outputting: Formed products are gently deposited onto the conveyor belt for transfer to next processing stage.
Integration: Products move directly to battering, breading, frying, cooking, freezing, or packaging equipment.
The Result:
Uniform product weight for consistent cooking and portion control
Consistent shape for professional appearance
High-speed production up to 1000 kg/h
Minimal waste from precise forming
