Stork - Titan Cookie / Meatball Former

• Forming consistent portions of cookie dough for baking operations.
• Producing uniform meatballs for ready meal production or catering.
• Extruding and portioning various doughs and pastes in confectionery.
• Creating shaped products from a range of viscous food mixtures.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly, typically ranging from 500 kg/hr to 2,000 kg/hr depending on product density and desired portion size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption varying based on motor size, generally between 3 kW and 7.5 kW.

Product size range

Commonly, these machines can form products from approximately 10mm to 80mm in diameter, adjustable via die plates and forming drums.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for contact parts, ensuring hygiene and durability.

Footprint

A typical footprint for a standalone unit is around 1,500mm (L) x 800mm (W) x 1,600mm (H), though this can vary with specific configurations.

Feed mechanism

Often features a hopper and screw-feed system to ensure consistent product delivery to the forming head.
