This Koppens VM 600HD is a meat processing line combining forming and breading functions, designed for the continuous production of formed meat products such as burgers and patties — sometimes referred to in the industry as a forming and coating line. Koppens is a well-established Dutch manufacturer of portioning, forming, and breading equipment serving the food processing industry, particularly in meat and fish applications.
The line consists of three machines working in sequence: the Koppens VM 600HD former, a Koppens ERT 600 wet batter applicator, and a Koppens dry breader. All three units date from 1997 and are offered together as a complete used system, currently located in Poland.
The VM 600HD former is the core of the line. It has a usable forming surface of 570 mm × 130 mm and accommodates forming plates up to 40 mm thick, allowing for a range of product thicknesses. The machine operates at up to 50 strokes per minute, giving it meaningful throughput capacity for a production environment. The hopper has a maximum capacity of 250 litres. The forming system uses an autonomous hydraulic drive unit controlled by compressed air, and the design is intended to shape products without damaging their natural texture. Belt width is 600 mm. The former has a rated power of 11.27 kW and a machine weight of 1,045 kg. It requires compressed air, electrical power, and water to operate.
The Koppens ERT 600 wet applicator, also from 1997, handles the liquid batter stage. It is rated at 1.95 kW and weighs 325 kg. The dry breader follows in line and is suited to applying flour or seasoned flour coatings evenly across the full surface of the product. The seller notes that the equipment previously operated in a fish processing facility, where it was used for fish burgers and filled products, and that the dry breader is adapted for meat, filled products, and fish burgers alike.
Together, the three-machine line covers the complete forming-and-coating process: portioning and shaping raw meat, applying a wet batter coat, and finishing with a dry breadcrumb or flour layer.
