Low pressure forming for plant-based products
Achieve precise shape and weight consistency in plant-based products with low-pressure forming, maximizing quality and versatility while minimizing material waste.
Forms and Portions Plant-Based and Convenience Foods
The RevoPortioner from Marel is a low-pressure forming machine designed for plant-based and convenience food processors seeking uniformity in product shape and weight. It employs interchangeable Helix Drum technology to efficiently create various 2D and 3D shapes, such as soy-based burgers and vegan tenders, while minimizing raw material waste to a remarkable 0.3%. Available in models with belt widths up to 1,000 mm, it processes up to 8,000 kg of material per hour, meeting the demands of high-speed production environments. The RevoPortioner operates continuously and integrates seamlessly into production lines with its innovative air release system, which enhances downstream processes like coating and cooking. The Helix Drum technology allows for consistent filling pressure, increasing capacity and product quality. Energy-efficient drum cleaning and V-Pump options further optimize performance, while the Innova Food Processing Software offers real-time production insights and full traceability. With compliance to stringent hygiene standards, the RevoPortioner is engineered to deliver high-quality, reliable performance tailored to your operational needs.
