Horizontal stuffing machines have a certain ability to make patterned stuffed products, which mainly depends on the design and functional configuration of the machine.
In terms of forming molds, many horizontal stuffing machines are equipped with special molds with patterned patterns. The shapes and textures of these molds are designed according to different product requirements. For example, for traditional Chinese pastries, there may be molds with auspicious patterns such as the word "Fu" and flowers. During the stuffing process, when the outer skin and fillings pass through the mold, the mold prints the pattern on the surface of the product through extrusion and other methods, thereby realizing the production of the pattern. This method can reproduce the pattern more accurately and ensure that the pattern consistency of each product is high.
Some advanced horizontal stuffing machines also have the function of adjusting the depth and clarity of the pattern. The operator can adjust the pressure applied by the mold to the product through the machine's control system according to the specific requirements of the product. If you want a clearer and deeper pattern, increase the pressure appropriately; conversely, if you want a lighter pattern, you can reduce the pressure. Such adjustment function enables the machine to adapt to the production of products of different styles, whether it is making exquisite gift cakes or ordinary stuffed products for daily consumption, it can meet the needs.
In terms of fillings, some horizontal stuffing machines can cleverly form patterns by distributing the fillings when injecting the fillings into the outer skin. For example, for products with multiple color fillings, the fillings can be controlled by the injection position and amount to form a unique pattern inside the product. When the product is cut, these filling patterns will become attractive patterns.
However, the horizontal stuffing machine also has some limitations when making patterned products. If the pattern of the product is too complex or requires very fine hand-made artistic effects, the machine may not be able to fully meet the requirements. For example, some unique patterns that require manual kneading and carving to form are difficult for the machine to simulate. Moreover, the effect of machine-made patterns will also be affected by the nature of the raw materials. If the outer skin material is too soft or the fluidity of the filling is too large, it may cause the pattern to deform and affect the appearance of the final product.
