Production Volume Requirements: Determine the production capacity and filling speed of the filling machine according to the production scale of sausages, such as the number of sausages planned to be produced per day, week, or month. For large - scale production, choose equipment with a fast filling speed and the ability to work continuously and stably. Small workshops can consider relatively smaller and more flexible models.
Filling Precision Requirements: If the product has extremely high requirements for weight precision, such as products for high - end markets or exports, pay close attention to the filling precision of the equipment and select a filling machine that can control errors within a very small range.
Material Characteristics: Consider the characteristics of the water - starch meat filling, such as its viscosity, and whether it contains meat chunks or other particles. If the filling has a high viscosity or contains large particles, ensure that the filling machine can stably transport and fill to avoid clogging or damaging the equipment.
Sausage Casing Types: Different materials and specifications of sausage casings have different requirements for filling equipment. For example, animal casings are more fragile, and the filling head of the filling machine needs to be able to fill gently and accurately. Plastic casings may have specific requirements for filling pressure and speed.
Filling Precision: Ask the manufacturer about the filling error range of the equipment and find out whether it uses high - precision measuring devices and advanced control systems, such as the combination of flow meters, weighing sensors, and servo systems, to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the filling volume.
Material Adaptability: Confirm whether the equipment can handle water - starch sausage fillings well, including fillings with different viscosities and those containing meat chunks and other particles. You can ask the manufacturer to provide filling test videos or cases of relevant materials.
Hygiene Performance: Check whether the components of the equipment in contact with the material are made of food - grade materials such as 304 stainless steel or 316L, whether the structural design is convenient for disassembly and cleaning, whether there are any unhygienic dead - ends, and whether it meets the hygiene standards for food production.
Operational Stability: Understand the quality and technical level of the core components of the equipment, such as the reliability of the rotor pump and the stability of the servo system. You can consult the manufacturer about the average fault - free operation time of the equipment, check user reviews, or conduct on - site inspections of enterprises that are using the equipment.
Self - priming Ability: A filling machine with a strong self - priming ability can simplify the operation and production process and reduce costs. 优先选择 products that can suck in materials by themselves without additional auxiliary feeding equipment.
Brand Reputation: Through channels such as industry forums, social media, and recommendations from peers, understand the market reputation and credibility of different brands, and choose brands with a good reputation in the field of sausage filling machines.
Production Experience: Give priority to manufacturers with many years of production experience. They are usually more mature in terms of technology research and development, production processes, and quality control, and can provide more stable and reliable products and more professional after - sales services.
Customization Ability: If you have special production requirements, such as the design of special filling heads or the connection with existing production lines, choose manufacturers that can provide customized services.
After - sales Service: Examine whether the manufacturer's after - sales service system is complete, including whether it provides installation and commissioning, operation training, warranty period, maintenance response time, etc., to ensure that problems encountered during the use of the equipment can be solved in a timely manner.
On - site Inspection: If possible, conduct on - site inspections of the manufacturer or enterprises using the equipment. Observe the operation of the equipment, filling effect, ease of operation, etc. with your own eyes, and communicate with the operators to obtain practical experience and suggestions.
Contract Terms: Before signing the purchase contract, carefully read the contract terms, clarify the specifications, model, price, delivery time, installation and commissioning, after - sales service, and other contents of the equipment to ensure the protection of the rights and interests of both parties.
Spare Parts Supply: Understand the spare parts supply situation of the manufacturer to ensure that original spare parts can be obtained in a timely manner when the equipment needs to replace parts, so as to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
