Low-pressure forming

Products such as burgers, steaks and schnitzels are formed at low pressure, ensuring the texture and structure of the raw material are retained and that every product has a uniform shape and accurate weight.

Endless product possibilities

Regardless of whether your raw material is whole meat muscle or emulsion mass, interchangeable forming drums let you create practically any 2D or 3D product shape you desire. They are quick and easy to change, giving you a highly flexible production process.

Increased capacity and quality

Forming drums are available with innovative Helix Drum technology to increase production capacity. They also ensure a more controlled filling pressure with a more constant flow of raw material, which further improves product quality.

Air release – no water

Air instead of pushers and water releases products, eliminating smearing and resulting in a much higher quality finish. This also guarantees you a clean working environment.

A RevoPortioner for any capacity

Every day, convenience food processors worldwide benefit from the innovative forming solutions we’ve been developing for more than 25 years. With the introduction of the RevoPortioner 1000, there’s now a RevoPortioner to fit any food processing production line, from the smallest family-owned business to the largest processors supplying the world’s leading QSR chains.

Production insight

By controlling and monitoring the recipes and production, Marel Food Processing Software ensures that the end product aligns with the customers’ orders. The supplied real-time data for performance monitoring ensures better food quality and food safety.

Marel Software’s full traceability program provides an overview of the raw materials' journey through the processing plant. As a part of this, the traceability engine records every process step in the convenience line. Together with the Recipe Manager tool, it’s easy to track systematically what has been made, when, where and by whom.

V-pump to increase capacity

To increase your production volume, the RevoPortioner 700 can be fitted with a V-Pump. It delivers a high capacity of meat mass, with uniform pressure, to the forming unit. Because of its V-shape, the influence of the pump on the meat structure is minimal so the high volume it achieves does not compromise quality in any way.

Helix Drum technology for higher volume

On the RevoPortioner’s Helix Drum, product shapes are aligned diagonally to enable a continuous filling process in which the pump does not need to start and stop as frequently as with conventional drums. This leads to a more constant meat flow in the system, helping to control the filling pressure and eliminate variations and at the same time increases capacity.

Water and energy-saving drum cleaning

The RevoPortioner Drum Washer ensures robust cleaning with significantly reduced water and energy consumption, making it a highly sustainable and profitable solution. Its automated process meets top hygiene standards, guaranteeing optimal RevoPortioner performance with minimized downtime and maximized productivity. With up to 69% less water and 53% less energy usage, this unit achieves consistent cleanliness with the lowest water usage in drum washing technology. Backed by intelligent software, the user-friendly HMI screen allows for easy program control. It also shows the real-time progress of the washing process and the consistent results of smart water and energy management.

Fast and efficient drum changeover and storage

A lifting and storage system can remove the drum from the RevoPortioner after use and safely transport it to the cleaning unit. A storage unit is available to store all your drums securely.
