Risco RS1040MAS Vacuum stuffer

• Production of various sausage types, including fresh, cooked, and dry sausages.
• Filling of deli meats, patés, and other processed meat products.
• Portioning of viscous food products in other sectors, such as dairy or bakery.
• Automated production lines requiring precise weight control for fillings.

Typical hopper capacity

Units in this class commonly feature hopper capacities around 50 litres, suitable for medium-scale production.

Portioning range

Vacuum stuffers of this type typically offer a wide portioning range, often from 5g up to 10,000g, allowing for diverse product sizes.

Power supply

Industrial vacuum stuffers are generally powered by a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, with motor ratings typically around 2.3kW.

Material construction

For hygiene and durability, units are typically constructed from stainless steel.

Throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment is variable, depending on product consistency and portion size, but is designed for continuous operation.

Agitation

Many units feature an agitated hopper to ensure consistent product flow and prevent bridging, especially with thicker mixes.

• What is the primary benefit of a vacuum stuffer over a non-vacuum model?

  Vacuum stuffers remove air from the product during the filling process, resulting in a denser, more consistent product with improved shelf life and appearance, free from air pockets.

• Can this machine handle different product consistencies?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required for a used vacuum stuffer?

• Is tooling included with this type of equipment?

• What are the typical safety features on a vacuum stuffer?

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.
