P160 Automatic Tamale Making Machine

Commercial encrusting equipment engineered for high-volume tamale production. The P160 automatic tamale making machine forms, fills and seals up to 60-90 pieces per minute, delivering perfectly centered fillings and uniform 10-150g product weights. It is the reliable workhorse for Latin American tamales, arepas, croquetas, mochi, cookies and other stuffed foods.

How the P160 Makes Tamales

The machine uses a dual-hopper design: one hopper holds the outer masa or dough while the second holds the filling. Both are measured volumetrically, the dough shell is formed, the exact amount of filling is injected, the product is sealed and then cut to size - producing consistent, evenly filled tamales without hand forming.

Key Advantages

• High output: 60-90 pieces per minute dramatically increases daily tamale capacity versus manual rolling.
• Precise filling: Volumetric gear-pump filling keeps fillings perfectly centered and prevents leaks or bursts.
• Adjustable weight range: 10-150g product weight with product sizes from 10-50mm.
• Versatile shapes: Ball, cone, round, strip, square and custom shapes with interchangeable dies.
• Hygienic build: Food-grade stainless steel construction, quick-release parts for fast cleaning.
• Smart control: PLC controller with intuitive touch screen for quick recipe changeover.

Applications

Tamales, arepas, croquetas, coxinha, mochi, maamoul, stuffed cookies, meatballs, cheese balls and other filled snacks. Ideal for commercial food factories, central kitchens and frozen food producers.
