Hamburger Patty Production

What happens here

The facility produces hamburger patties in various weights (e.g., 4 oz, 5 oz, 7 oz) using a patty-forming machine. Ground beef is loaded into the machine, which then precisely portions and presses the meat into uniform patties, separated by wax paper. These patties are then stacked and loaded into packaging trays. The machine automatically portions out specific amounts of meat to create patties that maintain a very tight weight tolerance (e.g., 1.02 to 1.03 pounds for a 1-pound patty).

Goal: Form consistent, portioned hamburger patties.
