This compact single-mold hydraulic meat press is tailor-made for small and medium meat processing factories with limited workshop space. Built entirely from food-grade SUS304 stainless steel, it supports direct full-machine washdown to meet global food hygiene standards. Powered by a 1.5kW hydraulic system with adjustable working pressure up to 10MPa, the unit delivers 40–45 forming cycles per hour and realizes three-way simultaneous compression from top, side and rear to produce meat blocks with even density and neatly aligned fibers.
Equipped with air cooling for stable hydraulic oil temperature and lockable universal casters for flexible site relocation, the machine adopts easy button plus manual valve operation that only requires one untrained worker to run. All molds are fully customizable for beef bricks, mutton rolls, bacon, ham and restructured meat products, with movable side plates enabling quick demolding. Fitted with reliable imported hydraulic core parts, this factory-direct meat shaper suits hot pot raw material workshops, central kitchens, small slaughterhouses and deli food manufacturers, with professional after-sales service including mold customization, remote technical guidance and optional on-site commissioning.
Product Introduction
The SD HENGER GROUP HE-MP001 Single Mold Meat Press is a compact 3D hydraulic shaping station designed for small to medium-capacity meat processing operations. Suitable for semi-frozen meat, chilled fresh meat, and marinated prepared meat, it applies three-dimensional high pressure from the upper, side, and rear directions to reshape irregular meat pieces into standardized, fiber-uniform meat blocks ready for slicing.
With a compact footprint of 730 × 900 × 1200 mm and 1.5 kW power consumption, the HE-MP001 is a space-efficient, single-operator solution. The all-SUS304 stainless steel construction supports direct washdown, while the manually controlled hydraulic valve and button operation keep the machine straightforward to operate. Mold dimensions are fully customizable to match specific product requirements — from standard beef bricks to custom-format ham blocks.
Core Advantages
• 3D Hydraulic Compression: Pressure applied from the upper, side, and rear directions simultaneously produces uniformly dense, fiber-aligned meat blocks — eliminating the uneven density issues of single-direction pressing.
• Compact Single-Operator Design: At 730 × 900 × 1200 mm and 1.5 kW, the machine fits into space-limited facilities and can be operated by one person without specialized training.
• SUS304 Food-Grade Stainless Steel: The entire machine body is corrosion-resistant, sanitary, and supports direct water washdown — meeting food safety standards with no hygiene blind spots.
• Adjustable Pressure Control: Working pressure is adjustable up to 10 MPa via a manual control valve, allowing flexible configuration for different meat types and desired compactness levels.
• Quick-Change Customizable Molds: The mold features a movable side plate for easy removal of formed meat blocks and quick loading. Mold dimensions can be customized for beef bricks, mutton rolls, bacon, ham, and other products.
• Oil Temperature Air Cooling: A built-in air cooling system controls hydraulic oil temperature automatically, supporting stable performance during long continuous operation.
• Brakeable Universal Casters: Bottom-mounted casters with brakes allow flexible movement for workshop layout changes and secure positioning during operation.
• Imported Hydraulic Components: Core components including oil cylinders and seals use imported brands for reduced failure rates and extended service life.

Working Principle
The HE-MP001 operates through a structured hydraulic compression cycle. The machine primarily consists of the frame, meat mold tray, hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic control system, and electrical control system:
1. Loading: Vacuum-packed, weight-calibrated meat pieces are placed into the customizable mold; the movable side plate is secured.
2. 3D Compression Activation: The hydraulic system is engaged — pressure is applied simultaneously from upper, side, and rear directions to reshape the meat into the mold cavity.
3. Pressure Hold: The set pressure (up to 10 MPa) is maintained to realign meat fibers uniformly and achieve consistent density throughout the block.
4. Mold Release & Removal: The hydraulic cylinder retracts; the movable side plate is opened to allow easy removal of the formed meat block.
5. Next Cycle: The finished block is transferred to quick-freezing or packaging, and the mold is reloaded for the next cycle.
Application Scenarios & Industry Cases
The equipment is applicable across meat processing and food manufacturing operations requiring standardized block forming:
• Beef & Mutton Processing (Hot Pot Industry): Forms beef bricks and mutton rolls specifically for hot pot roll slicing — a core market for restructured meat blocks.
• Bacon & Ham Manufacturing: Presses cured and brined pork cuts into uniform rectangular blocks for high-speed bacon and ham slicing lines.
• Restructured Steak Production: Compresses trimmed or smaller beef cuts into full-size, uniform-density blocks for consistent portion-controlled steak cutting.
• Poultry & Fish Processing: Shapes deboned chicken, turkey, and fish meat into compact blocks for foodservice and retail portioning.
• Large-Scale Slaughterhouses: Provides in-house meat block forming as a value-added processing step between primal cutting and frozen packaging.
Central Kitchens & Meal Prep Facilities: Produces standardized meat portions for centralized food preparation and distribution to chain restaurants and catering operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the production capacity of the HE-MP001?
A: The single mold configuration achieves 40-45 molds per hour, suitable for small to medium-scale operations or multi-variety small-batch production.
Q: What types of meat products can this machine produce?
A: Popular applications include beef bricks for hot pot rolls, mutton rolls, bacon blocks, ham squares, and restructured steak raw materials. The SUS304 construction is suitable for beef, pork, lamb, poultry, and fish.
Q: Can the mold be customized for my product dimensions?
A: Yes. The standard mold reference is 350 x 150 x 100 mm, but dimensions and shapes can be fully customized based on your product specifications.
