Professional Rice Ball Forming Solution for High-Volume Production
Please Click to Play the Video:
The OC-36 Rice Ball Forming Machine delivers precision sushi rice ball and onigiri production at speeds up to 60-100 pieces per minute. Engineered with food-grade stainless steel construction and PTFE-coated components, this high-performance forming system features adjustable rice paddle speed, large-capacity storage bins, and easy-clean design for efficient commercial sushi and rice ball production operations.
How It Works
The OC-36 automates rice ball forming with a sophisticated yet user-friendly system. The simple operation control panel provides operators with essential information and data for precise production control. Rice is loaded into the large-capacity storage bin with PTFE-coated inner walls and rice paddle for hygienic, non-stick operation. The adjustable rice paddle rotation speed allows operators to control rice ball softness or firmness according to product requirements. The machine presses and forms rice balls ranging from 15g to 150g at speeds of 60-100 pieces per minute. The open glass door design enables easy disassembly and cleaning, preventing dirt buildup, while lightweight components simplify daily maintenance. High-performance thermal insulation materials maintain optimal rice temperature and reduce the need for constant ingredient replenishment.
