▌Product Description
The Meatech automatic kebab forming machine is a fully integrated system for the standardised, high-speed production of meat skewer products — lamb skewers, chicken skewers, beef skewers, seafood skewers, and vegetable skewers. From raw mince input to finished skewered product output, the machine automates the entire process: metering, mold pressing, and skewer insertion in a single continuous cycle.
A servo-driven metering system precisely controls the filling volume for each skewer to ±0.5 g accuracy. The mold closes, compacts the meat filling to the desired shape and thickness (10–40 mm), the skewer insertion mechanism automatically drives bamboo or metal skewers (80–300 mm length) through the formed product, and the finished piece is conveyed out — ready for marinating, freezing, or packaging. Cycle speed of 30–60 insertions per minute yields 2,000–8,000 skewers per hour, eight to ten times faster than manual skewering.
Mold designs are fully customisable — round, square, oval, flat, or branded custom shapes. Skewer weight is adjustable from 5 g to 50 g per piece. The machine includes an automatic alarm for skewer shortage, preventing misfires during production. PLC touchscreen stores parameters for each product recipe, enabling fast changeovers across a multi-SKU skewer range.
Full SUS304 stainless steel body, HACCP compliant, cabinet-style enclosure with no grooves.

▌FAQ
Q: Does the machine work with both bamboo and metal skewers?
A: Yes. The skewer insertion mechanism accommodates both bamboo and metal skewers within the supported length range of 80–300 mm. Bamboo skewer holders are standard; metal skewer holders can be specified when ordering.
Q: How is skewer weight consistency maintained?
A: The servo-driven metering system controls the exact volume of meat filling loaded into the mold for each cycle. Combined with consistent hydraulic pressing, this delivers ±0.5 g weight accuracy per skewer — suitable for retail weight-declared products and portion-controlled institutional supply.
Q: Can custom skewer shapes be produced?
A: Yes. Custom molds are designed and manufactured to your specifications — including elongated flat shapes, thick round shapes, star-section skewers, and mixed meat-vegetable layered skewers. Lead times for custom molds are typically 4–6 weeks.
Q: What raw materials can the machine process?
A: The machine handles any protein mince at appropriate viscosity — lamb, chicken, beef, pork, fish paste, shrimp paste, and vegetable-protein mixtures. The servo metering and hydraulic press are adjustable to accommodate different material densities and moisture levels.
