ABM Ball Roller

• Used in the confectionery industry for shaping various sweet products into spherical forms.
• Applicable in the pharmaceutical sector for creating uniform pills or tablets.
• Utilised in food processing for forming dough balls, meat products, or other spherical food items.
• Can be found in ceramic production for shaping clay or other malleable materials.

Typical capacity

Typically, units of this class can process between 50 kg/h and 300 kg/h, depending on the product and desired ball size.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption varying from 1.5 kW to 7.5 kW.

Suitable feed material

Designed for pliable, semi-solid, or paste-like materials that can be extruded or fed into forming rollers.

Ball diameter range

Units typically offer a ball diameter range from 5mm to 50mm, often requiring interchangeable dies or rollers.

Construction material

For food and pharmaceutical applications, contact parts are commonly made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316).

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a typical footprint might be around 1.0m x 0.8m to 1.5m x 1.0m, excluding any ancillary equipment.
