The 100–200 kg/h burger patty production line serves small and medium food processors for automated shaped and coated food manufacturing. This all-in-one system combines patty forming, battering, breading, flour coating, and continuous frying to create a smooth, end-to-end production process. Machine setups can be customized based on your product types, coating specifications, and output targets.
This patty processing line adopts a compact layout with easy operation and quick cleaning. The automatic patty former completes filling, shaping, and discharging automatically. Optional paper placement and replaceable molds support flexible production for multiple product styles. The follow-up coating unit ensures uniform batter, breadcrumb, or flour application before frying.
Applications of the burger patty production line
It is ideal for meat processing factories, ready meal producers, catering suppliers, and food distribution hubs. With adjustable thickness and stable forming quality, this patty line can manufacture a wide range of formed food products:
- Hamburger patties
- Chicken patties and formed poultry products
- Fish cakes and fish-paste products
- Potato cakes and pumpkin cakes
- Other formed meat, seafood, and vegetable-based products
Main features of the burger patty production line
Automatic forming with adjustable sizes
- PATTY100 patty former works for meat, poultry, fish paste, potato, pumpkin and vegetable mixes. It auto-fills, shapes and discharges products; paper placement is optional.
- Replaceable molds support custom shapes. Patty diameter ranges 28–120 mm with adjustable thickness, for hamburger patties, chicken patties, fish cakes and vegetable cakes.
Flexible batter & coating systems
- Choose waterfall or immersion battering machines based on batter viscosity.
- Waterfall batterer creates batter curtain for thin/medium batter. Immersion type carries products through batter for varied concentrations.
- Battering can be followed by breadcrumb or flour coating machines with adjustable coating weight.
- Bread crumb machine coats top and bottom surfaces; air blower removes extra crumbs.
- Tunnel flourer applies flour evenly with waterfall and vibration design. Rotary drum breader is optional for irregular-shaped products, with sieve to filter large debris.
Food-grade material & simple cleaning
- Food contact parts adopt 304 stainless steel and food-safe non-metal materials, meeting meat processing hygiene standards.
- Detachable and liftable components reduce residue and blind spots for easy cleaning and maintenance.
Continuous production & custom layout
- The line connects forming, battering, coating and frying for continuous workflow. Coating machines have 200/300/400/600mm conveyor width options.
- Continuous fryer supports electric or gas heating. The whole line layout can be customized by output and workshop space.
Meat patty forming and coating line working process
The burger patty production line processing sequence can be arranged as follows:
- Product forming: The PATTY100 machine fills the mixture into the mold, forms the product, and discharges it onto the conveyor.
- Batter application: A waterfall or immersion battering machine applies a layer of batter to the product surface.
- Breadcrumb coating: A breadcrumb coating machine applies crumbs to the upper and lower surfaces.
- Flour coating: A tunnel flouring machine or rotary drum breading machine can be selected when additional flour coating is required.
- Continuous frying: The coated products enter a continuous fryer configured for the required processing method.
Not every application requires all the coating machines. The actual process and equipment combination can be adjusted according to the recipe, coating material, and finished product requirements.

How to choose a suitable meat patty production line?
When selecting a 100–200 kg/h burger patty production line, consider the following factors:
- Required output: Confirm the target hourly output and the expected operating conditions. The forming machine’s cycle rate alone does not establish the finished output of the entire line.
- Product dimensions: Specify the patty diameter, thickness, shape, and mixture characteristics to determine the appropriate forming mold.
- Coating requirements: Choose between waterfall battering and immersion battering based on batter viscosity. Select breadcrumb or flour coating equipment according to the desired outer layer.
- Frying requirements: Determine whether the product needs shaping, partial processing, or full cooking, then select the appropriate continuous fryer and heating method.
- Factory layout: Match conveyor widths and discharge heights across connected machines to support smooth product transfer and reduce the need for intermediate conveyors.
- Cleaning and maintenance: Consider stainless steel construction, removable parts, cleaning access, and the availability of after-sales support.
