This TAP TVM140PN is a meat processing machine — specifically a burger former, also known as a patty former — designed to shape ground meat and a wide range of other food products into uniform portions. It connects to an upstream vacuum stuffer, receiving its operating signal via the clip signal from the filler, and forms each portion through a driven pneumatic forming plate. TAP is a manufacturer of food-forming and portioning equipment serving the meat, convenience food, and food processing industries more broadly.
The machine is built for flexibility, compatible with vacuum stuffers from a variety of well-known manufacturers including Handtmann, Vemag, Risco, Frey, Karl Schnell, and HTS. Beyond meat processing, it is suited to applications in bakery, butchery, convenience food, snack, salad, cheese, vegetable, fruit, charcuterie, fish, vegan, vegetarian, baby food, and pet food production, making it a genuinely versatile piece of portioning equipment.
In terms of output, the machine operates at up to 45 strokes per minute. The maximum forming diameter is 115 mm, and the forming plates supplied with this unit are sized at 100 mm. Maximum product thickness is 30 mm. The conveyor belt is 250 mm wide, and the discharge height is 850 mm, adjustable within a range of 800 to 900 mm.
Electrically, the machine runs on 230 V single-phase supply (1+N, 50 Hz) with a power consumption of 0.35 kW, making it economical to run. It also requires a compressed air connection rated at 8 bar. The entire unit is constructed in stainless steel and is mounted on a mobile frame, allowing straightforward repositioning on the production floor and ease of cleaning. Overall dimensions are 1,700 × 500 × 1,260 mm (L × W × H), and the machine weighs 120 kg. Built in 2012, it is offered here in used condition from a seller based in the Netherlands.
