NuTec Manufacturing says the 750 4-hole patty former can portion certain items at over 4,800 pounds per hour. The former's vane pump feeds directly to the mold plate cavity and it has a useable mold width of 19 inches. A vacuum paper feed allows for individual pre-cut sheets of waxed paper to be placed under each patty for fresh or frozen applications. The former is US Department of Agriculture-approved and completely hose-proof, according to the company.
