About this equipment

This meatball machine automatically forms equal balls from the meat mixture: 280 to 300 pieces per minute. The mixture goes into the hopper, and the meatballs drop out formed, at the same size and weight, ready to boil, fry or freeze.

The machine is stainless steel, and the meatballs are formed through a copper ring, hygienic and durable. The standard molds are 18, 22 and 26 mm in diameter. On request, 11 mm molds for small meatballs and 36 mm molds for large ones are also made.

The LR-280T model is a compact countertop unit. The LR-280L model is floor-standing, taller, for production. Both have 1.1 kW and run on 220 or 380 V.

How much it produces in a day

At 280–300 meatballs per minute, the machine makes in one hour what several people would make by hand in a whole shift. All meatballs weigh the same, so they cook the same way, and portioning and cost per portion are exact.

Who it is for

For canteens, caterers, restaurants with meatball soup and meatballs on the menu, Asian restaurants with meatball soups and producers of frozen meatballs. The mixture is prepared beforehand in the mincer and the meat beater.

How much does a meatball machine cost

The price depends on the model and the set of molds. The Uzinex price includes transport, commissioning, training and the 60-month warranty. Request a quote with the model and diameters you want.

Integrated solutions
for the factory of the future.

Six technology directions we integrate turnkey: from plug & play IIoT sensors, to cobots, predictive maintenance, optical inspection, MES connectivity and custom industrial software.

01
Industry

Plug & Play IIoT & Monitoring

See in real time how much each machine produces and how long it sits idle. We fit sensors on any equipment, new or old, and within a few hours you have the OEE dashboard on your phone. No complex wiring, no production downtime. The first concrete step toward digitalization, with ROI visible from the very first month.

  • OEE dashboard on your phone from day one
  • Fits any machine, with no production downtime
  • Investment recovered in 3-6 months

Industry

Collaborative robotics

Solve your labor shortage without tripling your costs. The cobot works safely alongside your people (palletizing, feeding the CNC, welding) while you recover the investment in 12-18 months. Prices 30-40% below European distributors, with installation and programming included from us.

  • ROI in 12-18 months, with no extra staff
  • Installation + programming included in the package
  • 30-40% below European distributor prices

Industry

Predictive maintenance

Stop waiting for things to break. Our algorithms analyze sensor data and tell you exactly which part will fail and when, and we bring it to your production line before the breakdown. Zero unplanned downtime, zero contractual penalties, complete operational peace of mind.

  • Zero unplanned production downtime
  • The spare part arrives before the breakdown
  • Essential for public contracts and the defense sector

Industry

Optical inspection

Eliminate defects before they reach the customer. Our cameras inspect every part at speeds no operator can match, detecting sub-millimeter defects. They mount onto your existing line, with no modifications. Ideal if you produce for export and have strict quality clauses.

  • Detection of defects under 1mm, in real time
  • Mounts onto your existing line, with no modifications
  • 90%+ fewer rejects at export customers

Edge Computing & MES Connectivity

Connect your machines to your office, regardless of brand or age. Our gateway automatically translates the data from any machine into your ERP's format: no manual entry, no paper forms, no human error. The manager sees production live, the operator receives digital instructions.

  • Compatible with any machine brand
  • Live production data in ERP/MES, paper-free
  • Implementation time: under 2 weeks

Custom industrial software

Have a process that no off-the-shelf software can solve? We build custom industrial applications: from tailored SCADA panels and HMI interfaces, to production planning systems, lot traceability and automated reporting. The code is yours, it runs on your servers, with no monthly subscriptions or vendor lock-in.

  • Custom SCADA, HMI and control panels
  • Full lot-by-lot traceability for audits
  • Proprietary code, no recurring licenses
