SAVIOLI D-180 mm Manual Hamburger Press

A manual hamburger press shapes minced meat into uniform patties without electricity or compressed air. The operator loads the bowl with a measured portion of meat, lowers the press plate, and applies steady pressure. The meat spreads evenly within the circular mould, creating a patty of consistent thickness and diameter every time. This mechanical shaping eliminates variations in size that can occur with hand-forming, ensuring even cooking and portion control across a service period.

To use the SAVIOLI D-180 mm press, the operator lifts the handle to raise the press plate, places the meat portion into the anodised aluminium bowl, then lowers the plate until it meets the meat. Gentle but firm pressure is applied until the plate reaches the bowl's rim. The stainless steel ejector is then pressed to release the formed patty cleanly onto a tray or grill surface. The process repeats for each patty, with the bowl's smooth anodised finish preventing meat from sticking during release.

The press is built as a single unit with an anodised aluminium body and bowl, chosen for its light weight and resistance to corrosion in a kitchen environment. The ejector is made of stainless steel, which withstands repeated use and cleaning without rusting. The overall dimensions of 265 mm by 330 mm by 360 mm allow the press to sit on a standard worktop without occupying excessive space, while the 7 kg weight keeps it stable during pressing yet light enough to move between stations or store in a cupboard when not in use.

Cleaning follows directly from the materials used. The anodised aluminium bowl and stainless steel ejector can be washed in warm water with a mild detergent, then dried immediately to prevent water spots. The body requires only wiping with a damp cloth to remove meat residue. No disassembly is needed, and the absence of electrical parts simplifies maintenance.

The SAVIOLI PSC-180 is a single model with a fixed 180 mm cylinder diameter, producing patties of that size for menus that specify a standard portion.
