Kubba Making Machine FAQ: 10 Common Questions for Food Manufacturers
If you run a food factory or snack production line, investing in an automatic kubba making machine can significantly improve your output and product consistency. But before placing an order, buyers often have questions about capacity, mold customization, dough compatibility, cleaning, and after-sales service.
At Seny Machinery, we have helped thousands of food manufacturers worldwide set up their kubba and stuffed pastry production lines. In this FAQ guide, we answer the most frequently asked questions about our kubba making machines, so you can make an informed buying decision.
1.What Is a Kubba Making Machine?
kubba making machine is an automated encrusting and forming machine designed to produce kubba (also spelled kibbeh) — a traditional Middle Eastern stuffed pastry made from bulgur or rice dough filled with spiced meat. Modern commercial models can also produce a wide range of stuffed products by changing molds.
Key components of a kubba making machine
- Dough hopper and feeding system
- Filling hopper and pump
- Encrusting and forming unit
- Mold set (changeable for different shapes)
- PLC touch‑screen control panel
- Conveyor belt for output
2. What Other Products Can a Kubba Making Machine Produce?
Our kubba making machine is a multi‑functional encrusting machine. By swapping molds and adjusting parameters, it can produce:
- Kubba / Kibbeh (traditional oval shape)
- Coxinha (Brazilian chicken croquette)
- Maamoul (Middle Eastern filled cookie)
- Mochi (Japanese rice cake)
- Filled cookies and stuffed pastries
- Arancini (Italian rice ball)
- Falafel
This versatility makes it ideal for food factories that want to expand their product range without buying multiple machines.

4. Can the Machine Handle Sticky or Special Dough Formulas?
Yes. Our kubba making machines are engineered to work with a variety of dough types, including sticky bulgur dough, rice dough, and special formulations.
How we handle sticky dough？
- Adjustable skin thickness and filling ratio via touch screen
- Anti‑stick surface treatment on forming parts
- Optimized screw feeding to reduce dough resistance
- Customized forming structure for ultra‑sticky formulas
Tip: Send us your dough recipe or sample before ordering. Our engineers can run a test and recommend the best configuration for your specific formula.
5. Can I Customize Molds for Different Kubba Shapes and Sizes?
Absolutely. Custom mold design is one of our core services. We can manufacture molds for:
- Traditional oval kubba (various sizes)
- Round kubba
- Pointed‑end kubba
- Special shapes (per your product design)
Information needed for mold customization
- Product shape reference (photo or drawing)
- Target weight per piece (e.g., 30g, 50g, 80g)
- Dimensions (length × width × height)
- Dough‑to‑filling ratio
Our engineering team will provide a mold drawing for your confirmation before production.
6. What Material Is Used? Does It Meet Food‑Grade Standards?
All parts that come into contact with food are made of 304 stainless steel, which meets international food‑processing hygiene standards (including CE and FDA‑compatible requirements).
Why 304 stainless steel matters？
