Core structure composition

Rack and Box: The entire machine is made of high-quality 304 food grade stainless steel, which is waterproof, rust proof, structurally stable, and meets food hygiene standards. The body is welded with stainless steel plates, and the distribution box and rear protective cover are made of 3MM stainless steel. Install universal casters at the bottom for flexible relocation and placement in the workshop. The whole machine is sturdy, durable, and easy to clean and maintain.

Processing mechanism (core): The equipment is driven by a motor to swing the forming head left and right by 45 degrees, forming dynamic balance during the meatball forming process. This oscillation evenly distributes the slurry inside the mold, resulting in a smooth and tailless surface and a tight internal structure of the cut meatballs. Paired with fine adjustment of cutting pressure, suitable for meat slurries of different viscosities, with good roundness and less tail material. By changing the mold, various specifications of meatballs can be produced.

Transmission and feeding/discharging mechanism:The equipment is equipped with a dual motor dual frequency conversion system, and the feeding and forming speeds are independently adjustable. The feeding auger adopts a double blade quick disassembly structure, which assists in uniform feeding and is easy to disassemble and clean. The meat slurry is extruded by a screw and pushed towards a forming mold to form meatballs. The forming machine head continuously swings left and right to discharge the material, and the meatballs are dispersed and fall into the water tank or deep frying tank without stacking or sticking.

Simplify the operational process

Clean the hopper, mold, and other contact parts before use. Connect the power supply and conduct a no-load test to confirm normal operation without any abnormalities. Add the meat slurry into the hopper, start the equipment, and first adjust the roundness: place 80 ℃ hot water at the pill outlet, take 10-20 meatballs for observation, adjust the frequency converter to adjust the feeding and cutting speed until the meatballs are smooth and satisfactory. After adjustment, continuous production can be carried out, with the forming head automatically swinging and discharging, and the meatballs falling into the hot water tank. Turn off the power after work, disassemble the mold for cleaning, and keep the equipment clean.

Installation and Debugging

Place the meatball machine horizontally on a flat low surface to ensure stability and reliability. Connect the power and ground it reliably, and confirm that the motor rotates counterclockwise. Before use, check if all components have become loose during transportation and if there are any foreign objects in the hopper. Install the drip pipe and connect it to the water source. During operation, ensure that the drip pipe has water to prevent the meat slurry from sticking to the cutting blade. Select the appropriate molding mold according to the required size of the meatballs, align it with the slot for installation, and ensure that it is fixed in place.

Pour the prepared meat paste into the hopper. Place hot water at around 80 ℃ below the pill outlet. Start the machine for no-load testing and observe whether the turning direction of the winch is correct and whether it runs smoothly without any abnormal noise. Trial production of 10-20 meatballs, adjust the feeding and cutting speed of the frequency converter according to the roundness (both must be proportional). Adjusting the pressure screw can control the discharge pressure and ball size. After passing the debugging, normal production can be carried out.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to solve the problem that the automatic beef ball machine starts but does not discharge?

The equipment is running but the meat slurry cannot be squeezed out. The reasons include the reverse connection of the power cord causing the motor to reverse, the position of the pressing rod being too high and not pressurized, or the slurry being too thick. Solution: Swap any two live wires to make the motor rotate forward; Adjust the pressure rod downwards to increase pressure; Adjust the meat paste formula or add ice water to reduce the viscosity.

How to solve the problem that the Rice-meat dumplings produced by the automatic Rice-meat dumplings machine is not shaped?

The cutting blade does not match the feeding speed, the viscosity of the meat slurry is improper, or the adjustment handle is loose. Shutdown is required to readjust the filling amount and tighten the handle. Adjust the frequency converter to make the cutting blade proportional to the feeding speed. If necessary, add starch or ice water to adjust the consistency of the meat filling.
