Forming burgers with a loose structure
The HBF 120 is designed specifically for producing Hachee-type burgers—products made from minced or coarse ground meat with a loose structure.
The ground meat mass is transported from the grinder-filler via a conveyor belt to the forming tool, where it is given the desired shape. Portioning is performed by a REX vacuum filler, and the required product structure is formed by a filling grinder.
