REX RBF125 Automatic Burger Forming Machine

The REX RBF125 Automatic Burger Forming Machine is a professional burger and patty forming system designed for butchers, meat processors and food manufacturers looking to automate the production of consistently shaped and portioned burgers.

Manufactured by REX Technologie in Austria, the RBF125 connects directly to a compatible REX vacuum filler, using the filling machine's accurate portioning system to deliver prepared meat mixtures into interchangeable forming moulds.

The machine can produce round, oval and square burgers, with different forming moulds available to suit a variety of burger sizes and thicknesses.

Combined with the REX FB100 discharge conveyor, the RBF125 offers a practical solution for businesses looking to increase production capacity, reduce manual burger forming and maintain consistent portion weights.

Automatic Burger Forming Using a REX Vacuum Filler

Unlike standalone burger forming machines with their own product hoppers, the REX RBF125 operates in conjunction with a compatible REX vacuum filling machine.

Prepared burger mixture is fed into the vacuum filler, which accurately portions the required quantity of product into the selected forming mould.

Once the mould has been filled, a pneumatic cylinder moves the forming plate horizontally, allowing the finished burger to be discharged onto the conveyor.

The process is controlled through the REX vacuum filler's operating panel, providing an integrated system for portioning and forming burgers.

This arrangement is particularly beneficial for food processors already using REX vacuum fillers for sausage production or other portioning applications.

Consistent Burger Weights and Sizes

Maintaining consistent burger weights is important for commercial food manufacturers, particularly when supplying retailers, restaurants and foodservice customers.

The REX RBF125 uses the accurate portioning capabilities of the connected vacuum filler to deliver a controlled quantity of mixture into each forming mould.

This helps manufacturers produce burgers with consistent portion weights, dimensions and presentation.

Potential benefits include:

• Improved portion consistency
• Reduced variation between finished burgers
• More predictable product yields
• Consistent presentation for packaging
• Less repetitive manual forming
• Better control over portion sizes
• Actual portioning accuracy depends on the connected vacuum filler, product mixture and operating conditions.
• Round, Oval and Square Burger Production

The REX RBF125 Burger Former offers flexibility for businesses manufacturing different burger products.

Interchangeable moulds allow operators to produce round, oval and square patties without investing in a separate machine for each shape.

The manufacturer's published forming range covers approximately 60–130mm diameter for round products, with a forming height of 8–25mm.

Alternative moulds can be selected according to the required burger dimensions and portion weight.

This makes the RBF125 suitable for producing smaller burgers, traditional beef patties and larger speciality products within the machine's forming limits.

Quick-Change Forming Moulds

One of the main advantages of the REX RBF125 Automatic Burger Machine is its quick-change mould system.

Forming moulds can be removed and replaced without special tools, allowing operators to change between different burger sizes and shapes with minimal disruption.

This is particularly useful for manufacturers producing several burger products throughout the working day.

For example, a business could produce standard round burgers before changing to an alternative mould for square or oval patties.

Quick product changeovers help improve production flexibility and reduce unnecessary downtime.

REX FB100 Conveyor Belt

The RBF125 is designed to operate with the REX FB100 conveyor belt.

Once the burger has been formed and released from the mould, it is transferred onto the conveyor for collection or further processing.

The conveyor provides an efficient way of presenting formed burgers to the operator, helping maintain a continuous production workflow.

The FB100 can form part of an integrated burger production arrangement alongside the REX vacuum filler.

The precise conveyor specification and any additional handling equipment should be confirmed when ordering.

Water Spray System for Sticky Burger Mixtures

Certain burger mixtures can be difficult to release cleanly from forming moulds, particularly when processing sticky or high-moisture products.

The REX RBF125 can be equipped with a water spray system designed to assist with product release during forming.

This helps reduce product adhesion and supports more reliable operation with suitable mixtures.

REX's current product description identifies the water spray system as standard, although older manufacturer literature lists it as optional. The supplied configuration should therefore be confirmed before ordering.

Designed for Efficient Cleaning

Hygiene and cleaning are important considerations for any commercial burger production machine.

The REX RBF125 incorporates a hygienic design intended to make cleaning and routine maintenance straightforward.

Its interchangeable forming moulds can be removed for cleaning and inspection, helping operators maintain appropriate hygiene standards when changing products or completing production runs.

The machine should always be cleaned and maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Ideal for Existing REX Vacuum Filler Users

The REX RBF125 Burger Former is particularly attractive to businesses that already operate a compatible REX vacuum filling machine.

Rather than purchasing a completely separate burger forming system, the RBF125 allows the existing vacuum filler to be used for an additional production application.

This can help businesses expand their product range to include burgers and patties while making greater use of their existing processing equipment.

The RBF125 is associated with the REX RVF 300–900 series, although compatibility with the specific vacuum filler model and control system should be confirmed.
