How the Automatic Croquette Machine Works

The automatic croquette machine is an advanced food processing system designed to streamline the entire croquette production process — from ingredient preparation to precise shaping. It integrates automation and intelligent control to ensure every croquette is uniform in size, weight, and quality, significantly reducing manual labor and production errors.

1. Ingredient Preparation and Mixing

The process begins with mixing the main ingredients, which may include mashed potatoes, minced meat, seafood, vegetables, cheese, or plant-based proteins. The built-in mixing unit (or an external mixer) blends ingredients to achieve a smooth and consistent texture suitable for forming. Proper mixing ensures even ingredient distribution, which is crucial for taste and product stability.

2. Feeding and Portion Control

Once the mixture is ready, it is loaded into the hopper of the croquette machine. The internal feeding system automatically transfers the mixture to the forming section. Through a precise dosing mechanism, the machine divides the mixture into consistent portions, ensuring uniform weight and volume for every croquette.

Automation Advantage:

  • Reduces manual labor and human error

  • Ensures product uniformity

  • Maintains continuous production flow

3. Forming and Shaping

The forming section is the core of the automatic croquette machine. The pre-portioned mixture passes through custom-designed molds, which determine the croquette’s final shape—round, oval, cylindrical, or square.

The process is fully controlled by a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), which maintains accuracy in speed, pressure, and weight. This ensures consistent quality across every batch.

4. Output and Transfer System

After forming, the finished croquettes are automatically released onto a stainless-steel conveyor belt, leading to the next process, such as coating, breading, freezing, or frying. The smooth, continuous transfer reduces contamination risks and improves workflow efficiency.

5. Suitable Food Applications

Seny Machine’s automatic croquette machine is highly versatile, adaptable to a wide range of food types and production needs. It supports various ingredients and recipes used by global food manufacturers:

  • Potato croquettes (traditional European style)

  • Meat or chicken croquettes

  • Vegetable or cheese croquettes

  • Fish and seafood croquettes

  • Vegan and plant-based products

The automatic croquette machine combines precision, hygiene, and automation to deliver consistent, high-quality results. It is the ideal solution for food factories seeking to improve productivity, maintain product standards, and reduce labor costs.

Machine Design and Cleaning Maintenance

The automatic croquette machine from Seny Machine is built with a focus on hygiene, durability, and ease of maintenance — essential factors for food manufacturers operating under strict production standards. Its robust stainless-steel frame, modular construction, and detachable components ensure both long-term reliability and fast, efficient cleaning.

1. Hygienic Stainless-Steel Construction

The entire body of the machine is made of high-grade stainless steel (SUS304 or SUS316), known for its superior corrosion resistance and long service life. The polished surface prevents food residue buildup, meeting global hygiene requirements.

Feature Specification
Material SUS304 Stainless Steel
Hygiene Certification CE, ISO, HACCP Compliant
Surface Finish Polished and Non-Stick
Rust Resistance High, suitable for humid environments

This design ensures that the machine maintains a sanitary environment during food processing and minimizes the risk of bacterial contamination.

2. Modular and Ergonomic Design

The machine features a modular layout, meaning each section (hopper, forming unit, conveyor, and control panel) can be detached individually. This not only simplifies repair and replacement but also makes cleaning more accessible for operators.

Key Advantages:

  • Quick disassembly without tools

  • Space-saving design suitable for compact production areas

  • Flexible integration with coating, breading, or frying lines

  • Minimal downtime during part replacement

In summary, the Seny Machine automatic croquette machine combines robust engineering with sanitary design principles, ensuring long-lasting performance, quick cleaning, and compliance with international food safety standards. This makes it an ideal choice for modern food factories aiming to optimize production efficiency while maintaining the highest hygiene levels.
