Stainless Steel Barrel Design

The mini patty nugget forming machine boasts a robust stainless steel barrel design that enhances durability and hygiene. The entire food sealant barrel, securely attached to the machine’s bracket, allows for efficient feeding as minced meat is scraped by two rotating scrapers. Located at the center, the forming mold streamlines shaping, resulting in an attractive product surface. An acrylic cover plate, fastened with screws and flip hinges, provides stability and a sleek appearance, while a proximity switch ensures immediate shutdown during emergencies for operator safety. Crafted from high-quality 304 stainless steel, this machine is both corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain, making it ideal for food processing environments. Its CE certification further guarantees compliance with stringent food safety standards, making it an excellent choice for various applications.

Forming Mold Customization 

The working principle of the mini patty nugget forming machine is to smooth the feed through the raw materials and the rotating scraper and cooperate with the continuously rotating mold to realize the production of chicken nuggets and meat patties. The scraper keeps smoothing and pushing the raw materials into the bottom of the barrel, just encountering the rotating mold. The mold is customized according to your requirements. The rotating raw materials just fall into the mold below, and the materials are cut and scraped by rotating to the steel wire below, then chicken nuggets and meat patties fall perfectly on the mesh belt.

The mold of the small forming machine can be replaced to make products of different shapes, including the hot-selling chicken nuggets such as classic round, chicken breast shapes, stars, dinosaurs, hearts, fish, finger (or finger-shape), teddy bears, waffle, mini burgers, floral shapes, crescent/wedge, animal shapes (from dinosaurs and teddy bears, nuggets shaped like popular farm animals or pets )and meat patties(rectangle, round, square, oval, triangle). In addition, the size of the mold can be customized according to your requirements. You only need to tell us the picture of the product, the size and thickness of the product you need to make, and we can customize it. Generally, meat patties and chicken nuggets can achieve double discharge within a width of 4CM, so that two identical products can be produced by scraping once, achieving the requirement of 4200 products per hour. If it exceeds 5CM, you can only customize a mold that produces one at a time, so the output is 2100 per hour.

Not only can the size of the mold be customized, but also the thickness(the maximum patty thickness is 10CM) of the mold can be customized. The machine uses different cams to coordinate with the rotation of the mold to achieve the needs of discharging one or two products at a time. The thickness of the product can be adjusted from 6-12mm for discharging two products at a time, and from 6-16mm for discharging one product at a time. If you need to make the most popular McNuggets, the recommended size is 57.64*36.5mm, and the thickness is 8mm. If you make patties, customers generally choose 10cm diameter and 12mm thickness.

In addition, the mold is equipped with a transparent protective cover, so you can clearly see the working details of the mold and observe the condition of the machine when the machine is working. This protective cover safeguards the operator’s hands from the rotating mold, disconnects the power supply when the mold is removed, and stops its rotation, ensuring foolproof operation.

Mesh Belt Solutions

The mesh belt of the mini patty nugget forming machine is constructed from durable 304 stainless steel, making it wear- and scratch-resistant during operation. It is designed for easy cleaning and prevents meat residue from sticking. The standard diameter of the mesh belt is 2mm with a pitch of 7mm, but customization is available. For smaller products, we can reduce the diameter to 1.5mm. Conversely, for larger or heavier items, we can increase the diameter to 2.5mm and adjust the pitch to 10cm as needed. The maximum size of meat patties produced by the machine is 10cm, and our mesh belt is 130mm wide to ensure patties land on the belt without falling to the floor. Additionally, the output end of the mesh belt can be customized in terms of length and height. If space and budget constraints require a shorter connection to the molding machine, we can provide an extended conveyor belt. Should your connecting equipment be too short or too tall, we can also adjust the height of the output end of our small molding machine to better suit your needs. Please share the specifications of your site, including the height and length of the input end of the connecting machine, so we can discuss customization options in more detail.

Combine for Coating Production Lines

Our mini patty nugget forming machine can be seamlessly integrated with various coating equipment to create a flexible production line for chicken patties. Below are some of our most popular production line configurations:

Forming – Battering – Breading – Frying

This configuration is a favorite among customers for creating deliciously coated patties. The process starts with the forming of raw grind meat or other protein material into uniform patties, ensuring consistency in size and texture. Next, the battering step coats the patties with liquid batter, adding moisture and weight. Following this, the crumbing breading process applies a layer of dry breadcrumbs, sealing in the batter and imparting a crunchy texture that transforms into a golden-brown finish when fried. This combination guarantees flavorful and appealing patties that satisfy consumer cravings for quality and taste.

Forming – Waterfall Battering – Flouring–Tempura Battering – Frying

Customers focused on producing chicken nuggets typically opt for this production line, which involves a series of steps: forming, waterfall battering to enhance flavor and weight, flouring, tempura battering, and frying. Following the forming of the nuggets, waterfall battering acts as a seal for the first layer of batter, enhancing both flavor and weight; a subsequent dipping step further increases the nuggets’ weight, ultimately allowing a standard 12-gram chicken nugget to grow to an impressive 25 grams with two coatings and one predustering. The nuggets are then shaped in a continuous fryer and can be sent to a quick-freezing channel or packaged for cold storage, ready for distribution to local supermarkets, while final frying by consumers brings these delicious nuggets to tables across households.

Forming – Flouring – Battering – Breading – Frying

Customers producing chicken fingers and fish fillets often prefer this configuration due to its ability to enhance product quality. The process begins with forming the raw materials into appealing shapes. Next, flouring prepares the surface for coating, followed by the first battering step, which ensures adhesion of the coating. A second battering step adds moisture and richness, while the breading stage creates a crispy outer layer that enhances visual appeal and crunchiness. Finally, frying achieves a perfect golden finish, resulting in a delicious, texturally satisfying product that stands out in the market and delights diners of all ages.

If your process is simpler, space is limited, or budget constraints are a consideration, you can also opt for a streamlined approach with a forming -termpura battering process for chicken nuggets and meat patties. The small forming machine can be linked to any of our coating equipment, allowing for either a comprehensive coating line with multiple processes or a compact, cost-effective setup.
