Crispy Creations: Exploring the Art of Nugget Making with the Patty Nugget Forming Machine

In the fast-paced world of food service, efficiency and consistency are paramount. Enter the patty nugget forming machine, a marvel of culinary technology designed to streamline the production of everyone’s favorite crispy, juicy morsels. In our latest blog post, we delve into the fascinating journey behind this innovative appliance, exploring its inception, development, and the culinary revolution it’s sparking in kitchens worldwide. Join us as we uncover the secrets behind crafting culinary perfection with the patty nugget forming machine, and discover how it’s reshaping the landscape of fast food and beyond.

Recently, we shipped a 600mm patty nugget forming machine to the United States. The customer is making: 135mm meat patties and colonel chicken nuggets. The output is 600-800kg an hour. At present, the customer has placed an order for a forming machine to test the quality of the machine. Later, the customer wanted a complete line of coating and frying equipment.

We often sell forming machines of different styles, 100mm drum patty machine, 300 patty nugget forming machine(300 drum patty machine, 300mm templates pneumatic forming machine and 300mm forming machine), 400mm forming machine, and 600mm forming machine. The output ranges from 100-1000Kg. By changing the forming molds, you can make chicken nuggets (McNuggets) and round circles of different diameters. Pies, triangles, rectangles, circles, heart-shaped, small squares, large squares, strips and other different shapes. This equipment automatically completes meat filling, shaping, output and other processes. It can be connected with the flouring/ preduster machine, battering machine, breading machine, continuous fryer machine, quick freezing machine, and packaging machine to a fully automatic production line for cooked food to produce hamburger patties, chicken nuggets, fish steaks, poultry (chicken, duck) meat, and seafood. (fish, shrimp) meat, livestock (pig, beef) meat, vegetables (potatoes, pumpkins and other tubers). Minced meat; you can also add spinach juice, vegetables, potato slices, noodles, rice, etc. to the raw materials. No matter what your output is and what the shape of the mold is, the forming machine can meet your requirements, whether it is from coating equipment From the testing stage to medium-sized factories and large factories, there are corresponding equipment. So how to choose the patty forming machine that suits you? Let us follow the suggestions below for more details!

1. Required Capacity

Do different groups of customer require different capacity? Don’t worry we have different machines to suit your required capacity.For model selection, we need to know what patties you want to make (diameter&thickness) or the size of the chicken nuggets (shape, length*width, thickness) in order to calculate the output. Because the meat patties are larger and require more ingredients, the machine can produce more patties, while the output of chicken nuggets and some smaller products is smaller. Below are our standard models for reference.

2. Required Sizes &Shapes&Thickness

When you inquire, you can tell us the specific size and thickness, not the gram weight. Because each customer’s recipe is different and the density of the meat is different, it is difficult to calculate the size and thickness based on the gram weight. Specifically divided into round patties and irregular chicken nuggets:

Round Burger Patty:

Non-round, Chicken Nuggets:

Patty Chicken Nuggets Thickness:

3. If Need Extra Forming Mould for Different Shapes

By changing the forming molds, we can make round meat patties of different sizes, as well as chicken nuggets of various shapes, such as triangles, rectangles, circles, heart shapes, small squares, large squares, strips, rhombuses, and ovals. Besides, bone shapes, trapezoids, onion rings, letters and other different shapes. In addition, we can also make different animal shapes such as fish shapes, shrimps, birds, There are also various shapes of small dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops.

If the mold size and thickness required by the above machine are met, the shape is relatively simple, and the output is small, you can choose a 100mm drum patty machine, 300 drum patty machine, or 300mm forming machine. If the shape requirements are stricter and more precise, 400 mm forming machine and 600mm forming machine are recommended.

Please noted: For onion ring shaped chicken nuggets, 100mm drum patty machine, 300 drum patty forming  machine cannot achieve good forming effect, 300mm forming machine, 400mm forming machine, 600mm forming machine can easily achieve it.

Usually the machine comes with one set of forming molds. For more extra molds, please contact us to inform us of the size, thickness, shape and other information. We will discuss the design with the technician and can replace it with the machine.

4. Different Working Principles

*Noted: 300 Template Pneumatic Forming Machine(TPFM-300): the main kinetic energy of this equipment comes from compressed air, and the machine requires an external air compressor.

The flow direction of the compressed air is changed through the reversal of the solenoid valve to realize the operation of the template, the retraction and extension of the template, as well as the lifting, lowering and feeding of the template. Which suitable for customer who prefer to produce larger patties or irregular shapes nuggets,, while budget is limited.

5. Budget and Input-Output Ratio

If you are a small start-up factory that has just entered the coating industry or you are purchasing a forming machine just for taste testing of new products, market demand testing, and forming effect testing, it is recommended that you choose the 100mm patty forming machine and 300mm drum forming machine, which have low investment and effective results. If you have been in the patty nuggets forming and coating industry for many years and are a large or medium-sized factory that needs to expand production, it is recommended that you choose a 400mm forming machine or 600mm forming machine.

6. Acquiring the Complete Production Line

Do you only need one forming machine, or are you considering connecting it to a forming coating production line? The following is the conventional process we recommend. Please confirm your process procedure so that we can match the production line and provide free drawing and solutions.

Meat Patty:

Forming→preduster→tempura battering/ waterfall battering→crumb breading →belt conveyor→continuous fryer→cooling machine→freezer.

Chicken Nuggets:

Forming→tempura battering→preduster→tempura battering→continuous fryer→cooling machine-freezer.

7. Occupation Area

Please measure the area(length*width*height) of the factory you have prepared for the forming machine and forming coating line. We will adjust our program design accordingly. Assuming space constraints, our technology can change the plan or provide a more streamlined solution.

8. Forming Machine Accessories Equipment

Our forming machine could cooperate with telescopic automatic tray arrange machine, interleave papering machine, bin lifter and belt conveyor machine.

a. Telescopic Automatic Tray Arrange Machine

Generally speaking, for forming machines, if you only freeze after forming, we recommend you add one telescopic automatic tray arrange machine. After forming, you can directly freeze through plating and enter the freezer. Video of the plating below:

b.Interleave Papering Machine

If you have padding needs, we can definitely meet them.

300mm forming machine 400mm forming machine and 600mm forming machine. The paper padding function requires an additional paper padding machine. Video of this below:

c. Bin Lifter

If you choose a 300mm forming machine, 400mm forming machine , or 600mm forming machine, due to the large output, it is difficult to discharge the material manually. It is time to need the bin lifter to help. Video of this below:

d. Belt Conveyor

Some customers produce meat patties that need to be divided into two parts. We can match the Y-shaped mesh belt to separate the meat patties and chicken nuggets. One part is frozen and the other part is coated and fried. Video of this below:
