The hopper has a 500 pound (226 kilos) capacity. The hydraulic compression system precisely controls product flow of each filling cycle, assuring accurate fills and consistent weight control. Single horizontal plunger covers entire mold plate, and operates one-on-one for large volume patties, or several fillings for smaller patties and nuggets. Conveniently located dial and pressure gauge make it easy to adjust forming pressure from 20-230 PSI (1.4-15.8 Bar) for accuracy.
