Integrated Burger Forming & Paper Interleaving System
Combining a REX vacuum filler, UFM300-5 burger forming machine and Veserkal PE160 paper interleaver creates an efficient, automated burger production line.
The REX vacuum filler accurately portions the meat mixture, which is then shaped into consistent, handmade-style burgers by the UFM300-5. The Veserkal PE160 automatically places separator paper beneath each burger, preparing them for packaging or further handling.
This integrated system helps reduce manual handling, improve portion consistency and increase production efficiency, with an optional automatic stacking unit available for further automation.

Veserkal PE160 Automatic Burger Paper Interleaver
The Veserkal PE160 Automatic Burger Paper Interleaver is a high-performance, single-lane paper dispensing machine designed to automatically place separator paper or film beneath burgers, meat patties and other suitable food products.
Manufactured by Veserkal, the PE160 provides an efficient solution for food manufacturers looking to automate paper placement, reduce manual handling and improve the flow of products through their production and packaging lines.
With a published capacity of up to 120 products per minute, using paper measuring 100mm in length, the machine is particularly suitable for commercial burger production and other high-volume food processing applications.
The PE160 can also be supplied with an optional automatic stacking unit, allowing manufacturers to combine paper interleaving and burger stacking within a single production line.
Automatic Burger Paper Placement
Placing separator paper between burgers is an important part of many commercial burger production processes.
Paper interleaving helps prevent individual patties sticking together during subsequent handling, stacking, packaging and storage.
When performed manually, this process can be repetitive and labour-intensive, particularly on high-output burger production lines.
The Veserkal PE160 Burger Papering Machine automates this process by accurately dispensing a sheet of paper or film beneath each product as it passes through the machine.
Burgers are transferred from the incoming conveyor onto a cord conveyor, which carries them towards the dispensing unit.
The paper dispenser automatically cuts and positions the required sheet beneath each burger before transferring the product to the outgoing conveyor.
This continuous process helps maintain consistent paper placement without requiring operators to handle every individual burger.
Up to 120 Burgers Per Minute
The Veserkal PE160 has a published production capacity of up to 120 products per minute, equivalent to a theoretical maximum of 7,200 products per hour.
This performance is based on using separator paper with a length of 100mm.
Actual production speed will depend on the paper length, product dimensions, incoming product spacing and operating conditions.
The PE160 is designed to integrate into automatic production lines, helping manufacturers maintain a continuous flow of products between forming and packaging operations.
Optional Automatic Burger Stacking System
For manufacturers looking to automate more than paper placement, the Veserkal PE160 can be equipped with an optional stacking kit.
Once the separator paper has been placed beneath each burger, the products can be transferred to the stacking system.
A rotating stacking mechanism collects the burgers and arranges them into neat stacks ready for subsequent handling or packaging.
The manufacturer's stacking system can produce stacks containing up to six products, depending on burger thickness.
This provides several potential advantages:
- Reduces manual burger stacking
- Produces consistently arranged stacks
- Helps prepare burgers for packaging
- Reduces repetitive product handling
- Combines papering and stacking into one production process
- Supports more efficient downstream handling
The stacking unit is an optional extra and is not included with the standard PE160 paper interleaver unless specified.
Compatible with Different Paper and Film Materials
The Veserkal PE160 Paper Interleaving Machine is designed to handle different separator materials used in food production.
Compatible materials include:
Absorbent Paper
Suitable for applications where absorbent separator paper is required between individual food products.
Waxed Paper
A common choice for separating burgers and other formed meat products during handling and packaging.
Cellophane Film
An alternative separator material for suitable food processing applications.
The machine's paper roll system allows operators to change between suitable materials with minimal disruption.
Material suitability should be confirmed according to the product being processed and the packaging requirements.
Quick-Change Paper Rolls
Changing paper rolls is an important consideration for food manufacturers operating continuous production lines.
The PE160 incorporates a roll-fed dispensing system designed to make paper replacement straightforward.
This allows operators to replace empty rolls or change between different separator materials without lengthy changeover procedures.
The machine accommodates paper rolls with an inner diameter of 76mm and a maximum outer diameter of 250mm.
Single-Lane Paper Interleaving
The Veserkal PE160 is a single-lane paper interleaver, designed for paper widths up to 160mm.
It is particularly suitable for production lines where burgers or other food products are discharged in a single continuous stream.
For businesses operating larger multi-lane production systems, Veserkal also manufactures alternative interleaving configurations.
The correct machine configuration should be selected according to the product dimensions, conveyor layout and required production capacity.
Touchscreen Control Panel
The PE160 features a touchscreen control panel, allowing operators to manage the paper dispensing process.
The controls help operators adjust the machine to suit the required production application and separator material.
An optional Ethernet kit is also available for suitable communication and integration requirements.
Hygienic Stainless Steel Construction
Manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel, the Veserkal PE160 is designed for use in commercial food processing environments.
The paper dispensing assembly can be removed for cleaning, helping operators access the components involved in the interleaving process.
The machine's hygienic construction and removable dispensing system support routine cleaning and maintenance.
All cleaning and sanitation procedures should follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
Ideal for Automatic Burger Production Lines
The Veserkal PE160 can be integrated downstream of compatible burger forming machines.
For example, a production line may combine:
REX Vacuum Filler ? REX UFM300 Burger Former ? Veserkal PE160 Paper Interleaver ? Optional Stacking System
The REX vacuum filler accurately portions the burger mixture, while the UFM300 forming machine shapes the burgers.
The Veserkal PE160 then places separator paper beneath each burger before transferring the product for collection, stacking or packaging.
This arrangement provides an integrated solution for manufacturers looking to automate several stages of burger production.
Compatibility, conveyor heights, line speed and control integration should be assessed before installation.
Suitable Food Applications
Although commonly used for burger production, the Veserkal PE160 can handle a range of suitable food products.
Applications include:
- Beef burgers and meat patties
- Pork and lamb burgers
- Poultry burgers
- Suitable vegetarian and plant-based patties
- Portioned minced meat products
- Suitable sliced or filleted meat products
- Other formed food products requiring separator paper
Product suitability depends on dimensions, consistency and handling characteristics.
