Risco RS1040MAS Vacuum stuffer

• Producing various types of sausages, including fresh, cooked, and dry-cured varieties.
• Stuffing other processed meat products such as frankfurters, salami, and specialty items.
• Portioning and depositing viscous food products beyond meat, like certain cheeses or prepared salads, in some configurations.
• Integrating into automated production lines for high-volume food manufacturing.

Hopper Capacity

This unit features a 50L agitated hopper, which for this class of equipment, typically allows for continuous operation without frequent refilling, suitable for medium-scale production.

Portioning Range

Units of this type commonly offer a wide portioning range, with this specific model capable of portions from 5g to 10000g, providing significant versatility for different product sizes.

Material Construction

As is standard for food processing machinery, this unit is constructed from stainless steel, ensuring hygiene, durability, and ease of cleaning.

Power Supply

This Risco RS1040MAS operates on a 3-phase electrical supply, which is typical for industrial food processing equipment, providing stable and efficient power delivery.

Motor Power

The 2.3KW motor is commonly found on vacuum stuffers of this capacity, offering sufficient power for processing various meat emulsions and maintaining consistent stuffing pressure.

Control System

Vacuum stuffers in this category typically feature variable speed control, allowing operators to adjust stuffing speed and pressure according to product requirements.

Vacuum System

The integrated vacuum system is crucial for removing air from the product, which is standard on high-quality stuffers to prevent air pockets in the final product and improve shelf life.

• What are the main benefits of a vacuum stuffer compared to a non-vacuum model?

  Vacuum stuffers remove air from the product during the stuffing process, which significantly reduces air pockets, improves product density and appearance, and extends shelf life by minimising oxidation.

• Is this unit suitable for both natural and artificial casings?

• What kind of maintenance does a Risco RS1040MAS typically require?

• Can this stuffer be integrated into an automated production line?

• What safety features are commonly found on this type of equipment?

Sausage fillers are valued for consistent product output and labour efficiency in meat processing operations. Buyers typically prioritise robust construction and stainless steel components for food safety compliance and hygiene standards. Key considerations when purchasing used equipment include motor condition, filling consistency, and maintenance history. Industry sentiment highlights reliability and ease of cleaning as significant strengths. Models with adjustable speed settings and straightforward operation tend to perform well in secondary markets. Establishing clear mechanical condition and operational verification prior to purchase remains essential for buyer confidence.
