The meatball making machine processing line is a fully automated solution for industrial production of beef, pork, chicken, fish, and shrimp meatballs. Depending on the configuration, the forming capacity can reach 280 pcs/min, while the complete line can be customized for larger industrial outputs.
The complete process covers frozen meat crushing, grinding, bowl cutting, forming, constant-temperature cooking, quick freezing to -18°C core temperature, and vacuum packaging. The machines are made of food-grade stainless steel 304, powered by stable three-phase motors (380V/50Hz), ensuring continuous and hygienic production.
This integrated line guarantees uniform meatball sizes (standard molds: 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, customizable), elastic texture, stable quality, and high output.

Supporting machine in meatball making machine processing line
When producing fish balls, a fish meat separator (fish deboner machine) can be added at the beginning of the meatball making machine processing line. This supporting machine is specially designed to separate pure fish meat from fish skin and bones through a squeezing and filtering system. It significantly improves raw material utilization while ensuring clean and fine fish paste for further processing.
By integrating the fish meat separator before grinding and bowl cutting, the production line becomes more suitable for surimi-based products such as fish balls, shrimp balls, and other seafood meat products. The separated fish meat can directly enter the bowl cutter for emulsification and seasoning, ensuring a smooth texture and excellent elasticity.
