Detailed Explanation of Core Equipment
Forming Machine
Function: Automatically completes the filling, forming, and output processes of meat filling.
Working Principle: Employs a synchronous operation structure of feeding paddles and forming rollers to ensure uniform feeding and stable forming pressure. Different shapes can be produced by changing the molds.
Applicable Mold Shapes: Round, square, oval, triangular, heart-shaped, star-shaped, etc.Applicable Raw Materials:
Meat: Chicken, beef, pork, lamb
Seafood: Fish, shrimp, squid
Vegetables: Potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, green beans
Mixed: Meat and vegetable mixtures, seafood and meat mixtures
Sizing machine
Function: Automatically coats product surfaces with slurry, enhancing the adhesion of subsequent powder coating.
Working Principle: The product passes through upper and lower conveyor belts, becoming evenly immersed in the slurry. The gap between the upper and lower conveyor belts is adjustable to accommodate products of different thicknesses. An air knife or powerful blower is equipped at the outlet to remove excess slurry and control the slurry thickness.
Technical Features: Upper and lower conveyor belts hold the product firmly in place while immersing it in the slurry, preventing tumbling. Slurry circulation and filtration system improves utilization. Suitable for both thin and thick slurries.
Breading machine (or breading machine)
Function: To evenly coat the surface of a product with breadcrumbs, breadcrumbs, or bread crumbs.
Working Principle: The bottom layer of the product is evenly coated with breadcrumbs via a conveyor belt, and the top layer is evenly covered by a powder-spreading device. An automatic waste recycling system can be equipped.
Frying machine
Function: Deep-frys coated products to achieve a golden-brown, crispy outer shell.
Structural Features:
Double-layer mesh belt design: Suitable for products that sink initially and float later.
PTFE non-stick belt: Prevents products from sticking together.
Automatic scraping system: Double scraping from the bottom and sides keeps the oil clean.
Automatic oil replenishment system: Maintains a constant oil level (optional).
Automatic filtration system: Online filtration extends the lifespan of the grease.
Quick-freezing Machine
Function: Quickly freezes finished products to below -18℃ to lock in quality.
Freezing temperature: Below -35℃
Freezing time: Determined based on product size and thickness (usually 15-30 minutes)
Packaging Machine
Functions: Completes packaging processes such as weighing, filling, sealing, and coding of finished products.
Packaging Forms: Bagged, Boxed
Technological Development Trends:
1. Increased Automation: Moving from stand-alone operations to fully automated production lines, reducing manual intervention.
2. Flexible Production: Quickly changing product shapes by altering molds to meet the needs of diverse, small-batch production.
3. Precise Control: PLC control of forming weight, frying temperature, and time ensures high product consistency.
4. Energy Saving and Environmental Protection: Fryers equipped with automatic filtration systems extend grease lifespan.
Hygienic Design: Quick-assembly structure and detachable design comply with HACCP and GMP requirements.
