Meatballs Weighing and Packaging System | Full-Automatic Frozen/ Fresh Meatball Packaging Line
Tailor-made for frozen and fresh meatball manufacturers, delivering damage-free precision weighing, automatic packaging, and full-process waste recycling—ideal for beef, pork, chicken, and fish meatballs.
Industry Pain Points We Solve
Fragile meatballs (fresh or frozen) suffer high breakage rate during rigid conveying and weighing, leading to poor product appearance, low finished product yield, and direct profit loss.
Manual weighing causes severe weight deviation, excessive product giveaway, and inconsistent net content, failing to meet FDA, BRC, HACCP standards and triggering customer complaints or export rejection.
Overweight products are discarded directly, resulting in serious raw material waste and uncontrollable production costs.
Dispersed equipment requires heavy manual intervention, leading to low production efficiency, high labor costs, and cross-contamination risks in food processing.
Unstable packaging sealing (especially for frozen meatballs) causes air leakage, freezer burn, and shortened shelf life, increasing product scrap rate.
Lack of intelligent control and synchronized operation leads to frequent equipment jamming, unplanned downtime, and low overall equipment efficiency (OEE).
Non-food-grade equipment and dead corners are difficult to clean, failing to meet strict food safety regulations for meat products.
Core Customer Requirements We Meet
Damage-free conveying and weighing to maintain meatball integrity, minimize breakage, and ensure good product appearance.
High-precision quantitative weighing to guarantee consistent net content, meet global food safety standards, and reduce product giveaway.

Fully automated integrated production (weighing → rejection → packaging → conveying) to reduce manual labor and cross-contamination.
Stable, airtight packaging to prevent air leakage and extend the shelf life of frozen/fresh meatballs.
Intelligent control system for synchronized operation, easy parameter setting, and reduced downtime.
Food-grade, easy-to-clean equipment design, fully compliant with FDA, BRC, HACCP, and other international food safety regulations.
Flexible adjustment to adapt to different meatball sizes, weights, and packaging specifications (e.g., pillow bags, vacuum bags).
Our Tailored Integrated Solution
We provide a fully automatic, meatball-specific weighing and packaging system, integrating high-precision weighing, overweight recycling, automatic packaging, and intelligent conveying. Designed exclusively for fresh and frozen meatballs, this line adopts gentle handling, food-grade materials, and synchronized control to solve all core pain points of meatball packaging. It realizes semi-automated production from raw meatball feeding to finished product output, ensuring every package meets your quality standards and global regulatory requirements.
Core System Units
20-Head High-Precision Multihead Weigher: The core weighing unit with food-grade SUS 304 contact parts and soft buffer design to avoid meatball breakage. It delivers ultra-high accuracy (±0.3g) and fast weighing speed (up to 80 bags/min), ensuring consistent net content for every package. The 20-head design adapts to different meatball sizes and weights.
Overweight Reject and Recycle Chute: Dedicated to separating overweight products—automatically rejects unqualified meatballs and guides them back to the production line for re-weighing, minimizing raw material waste and reducing production costs.
520 Vertical Packaging Machine: High-efficiency automatic packaging unit, compatible with multiple bag types (pillow bag, 3-side seal, vacuum bag). It features stable sealing performance, anti-leakage design, and adjustable bag length/width, perfectly matching the output of the 20-head weigher and suitable for frozen/fresh meatball packaging.
Food-Grade Supporting Platform: Ergonomic anti-slip stainless steel platform, providing stable support for the weigher and packaging machine. Open structure with no dead corners, easy to clean and maintain, complying with food workshop hygiene standards.
Product List Slot Conveyor: Food-grade non-slip conveyor with gentle conveying speed, transporting meatballs to the weigher smoothly without breakage. The slot design prevents meatballs from slipping or rolling, ensuring stable feeding.
Finished Product Conveyor: Smooth, high-speed conveyor that transports packaged meatballs to the next process (e.g., freezing, boxing). It features a hygienic design, easy to clean, and avoids product damage during conveying.
Collection Conveyor: Dedicated to collecting qualified finished products, with adjustable speed to match the packaging line. It ensures orderly arrangement of packaged meatballs, facilitating subsequent storage and transportation.
Intelligent Control System: Equipped with a touch screen for easy parameter setting (target weight, packaging speed, etc.). It realizes synchronized operation of all equipment, automatic fault alarm, and real-time production data display, reducing manual operation and downtime.
Standard Automated Workflow
Fresh/frozen meatballs are transported to the 20-head weigher via the product list slot conveyor, ensuring gentle, damage-free feeding.
The 20-head weigher completes high-precision quantitative weighing. Overweight products are automatically rejected and recycled through the overweight reject and recycle chute for re-weighing.
Qualified weighed meatballs are sent to the 520 vertical packaging machine, which completes automatic bag forming, filling, and sealing (airtight for frozen meatballs).
Packaged finished products are conveyed to the collection conveyor via the finished product conveyor, where they are sorted and collected for subsequent processing.
The intelligent control system monitors the entire process in real time, with synchronized operation of all units and automatic fault prompts to ensure stable production.
