Forming system for the production of a great variety of 3D shapes

In combination with a Handtmann vacuum filler, the single-lane FS 503 forming system allows the fully automatic production of a wide variety of 3D-shaped products. Many different feed materials, such as meat, meat substitutes as well as fish and fish substitutes, vegetables and vegan/vegetarian products, hybrid meat/vegetables or meat/cheese products, convenience products, dough applications, confectionery, dairy products or pet food can be processed and formed with maximum flexibility. Retailers as well as medium-scale and industrial producers can benefit from great variety and flexibility along with high economic efficiency.

Automatic high-output production process 

The FS 503 forming system is characterised by high production output and weight accuracy, low wear, well-formed products as well as easy operation and cleaning. The fully automatic process enables a high production output of up to 150 portions per minute. The perfect response for food-processing producers to the rapidly growing demand for a wide range of trend and convenience products.  

Products in first-class quality and appearance, accurate to the gram 

The gentle portioning and forming process with a minimum of friction surfaces, short product paths and low heat input ensures lasting optimum product quality. A large variety of products from initial products of many different consistencies are reliably portioned and formed to perfection and gently transferred to the conveyor belt. Accurate-to-the-gram weights per product are an additional guarantee for cost-optimised production.  

Patented forming technology for a wide variety of products 

The 3-way hole plate forming technology allows the production of free-formed 3D products of diameters up to 100 mm. Nearly all 3D product shapes and geometries are possible. As an option, a flattening belt adjustable in height for flattened products of 10 to 55 mm product height (e.g. burgers and patties) can be used.
