TINDO
Product Description
The TINDO Automatic Forming Machine (MF Series) is a high-precision industrial portioning system designed for the versatile production of burgers, nuggets, and various food shapes. While traditionally used for poultry and red meat, our 2026 engineering updates have made this series the preferred choice for the Plant-based Meat (Meat Analog) sector.
Capable of handling a wide array of raw materials—from ground beef to high-viscosity pea protein dough—the MF series ensures that every portion is formed with exact weight and sharp edge definition. Whether you are producing classic chicken nuggets or the latest "Beyond-style" veggie burgers, Tindo provides the mechanical reliability needed for 24/7 industrial throughput.

High-Viscosity Handling: Specifically designed screw-feeders and a high-torque hydraulic system allow the machine to process dense plant-based proteins without "clogging" or heat buildup.
Precision Weight Control: Utilizing a hybrid mechanical-hydraulic drive, the MF series achieves a weight variance of less than ±1.5%, which is critical for standardized packaging and retail cost-control.
Interchangeable Mold System: Change from nuggets to burger patties or custom shapes (stars, hearts, fish fingers) in under 20 minutes with our tool-free mold block system.
Fiber Integrity Preservation: The gentle pressure-filling system ensures that the "meaty" texture of plant proteins is preserved, preventing the product from becoming a mushy paste.
HACCP-Ready Design: The entire machine is constructed from Food-Grade SUS304 Stainless Steel. All parts in contact with food are easily removable for deep sanitation, minimizing cross-contamination risks in vegan production.
Modular Integration: The MF series features an adjustable conveyor height, making it fully compatible with Tindo’s Predusters, Batter Applicators, and Continuous Fryers for a complete "Form-to-Fry" solution.
Global Serviceability: Standardized on AIRTAC pneumatics and Siemens/Schneider electrical components, ensuring that maintenance teams worldwide can source spare parts locally.
Labor Efficiency: Replaces manual portioning with a continuous workflow, significantly reducing overhead while increasing total facility yield.
Plant-based Sector: Veggie burger patties, vegan nuggets, plant-based fish sticks, falafel, and tofu-based snacks.
Meat & Poultry: Traditional chicken nuggets, beef burgers, pork cutlets, and minute-steaks.
Specialty Foods: Potato hash browns, corn cakes, and pumpkin patties.
Pet Food: High-end portioned meat treats for the premium pet snack market.
Q: Can the machine form burger patties with a diameter of 150mm?
A: Yes. The MF-400 and MF-600 models can be equipped with large-format molds to accommodate patties up to 150mm in diameter, suitable for premium burger buns.
Q: Is the machine suitable for processing sticky mixtures like pea protein?
A: Absolutely. We have integrated a specialized Wire-Cut system and polished SUS304 hoppers to ensure that even the stickiest plant-based mixtures release cleanly from the mold.
