Proper meatball forming is key to the overall shape, texture and dining experience. Well-formed meatballs improve presentation, cooking and eating satisfaction.
Unfortunately, hand-rolling meatballs can take a great deal of time and vary in shape and size.
Mechanical meatball forming machines provide a processor precise control over the size, shape and density. In addition, studies show that meatball forming machines can increase production efficiency by 50% while also reducing labor costs.
Machines like the EnSight BT-008 Meatball Former, the largest meatball former in the Bridge line, can produce up to 160,000 servings per hour, increasing output exponentially. Forming machines can also be adjusted to produce a certain meatball texture, tenderness and/or density, ensuring the processor can meet various consumer preferences.
Machines simplify shaping and serving control, enhancing taste without extra tools. Studies report a 15% reduction in ingredient waste with portion-controlled machine-formed meatballs. Machines offer more consistency, efficiency and texture control.
In summary, industry reports show that machine-formed meatballs are more consistent and produce less waste.
