This GEA VM 400 30 is a used meat processing former — also known as a food portioning machine — designed to shape a wide range of products into consistent, defined portions. GEA is a globally recognised manufacturer of food processing equipment, supplying industrial machinery to sectors including meat, dairy, bakery, convenience food, and beyond. This particular machine originates from GEA's CFS Koppens line and is currently located in the Netherlands.
The machine operates as an automatic patty former, accepting product through a large infeed hopper where two pneumatic pushers transfer the material into the forming mould. The filled mould then passes over a conveyor belt, and a pneumatic ejector presses the formed product down onto the belt for downstream processing. This inline design makes the machine well suited for integration into existing production lines.
Versatility is a key feature of this former. It is capable of producing both round and rectangular shapes and is described as suitable for use across numerous food sectors, including meat, fish, poultry, bakery, snack, salad, cheese, vegetable, fruit, vegan, vegetarian, baby food, and pet food production. The usable forming surface measures 370 × 130 mm, and the machine is supplied with an oval format part measuring 114 × 83 × 8 mm.
Production capacity is rated at 30 strokes per minute. The infeed height stands at 1,740 mm and the discharge height at 930 mm, reflecting a typical inline ergonomic layout. The machine runs on a three-phase 380 V (3+N, 50 Hz) electrical supply and has a power rating of 4.94 kW. Compressed air connection requires a supply of 6–8 bar. Overall machine dimensions are 1,900 × 850 × 1,800 mm (W × D × H), and the unit weighs 640 kg. The entire machine is constructed in stainless steel throughout, in keeping with food-industry hygiene requirements.
