SAVIOLI Vertical Hydraulic Sausage Filler 15 Litre INS15 V

A vertical hydraulic sausage filler uses a sealed cylinder and a hand-operated lever to push meat through a funnel into casings. The cylinder holds the meat mixture under pressure, while the lever drives a piston downwards, forcing the mixture out at a steady rate. This method gives precise control over filling speed and density, preventing air pockets and ensuring even distribution along the length of the sausage. Because the pressure comes from hydraulic oil rather than an electric motor, the operator can adjust the flow instantly by varying the lever stroke, making it easier to fill delicate natural casings without bursting them.

To use the filler, the operator loads the 15 L cylinder with the meat mixture, selects the appropriate polyethylene funnel for the casing diameter, and attaches the funnel to the outlet. The lever is pumped steadily, pushing the piston down and extruding the mixture into the casing. The high-precision oil flow controller regulates the descent of the piston, allowing the operator to maintain a consistent fill without sudden surges. Once the casing is filled, the operator ties off the sausage and repeats the process. The rubber wheels allow the unit to be moved between workstations without lifting.

The entire structure and cylinder are built from stainless steel, chosen for durability and ease of cleaning in a food production environment. The three polyethylene funnels supplied cover the most common casing diameters of 10 mm, 18 mm and 25 mm, allowing the filler to handle a range of sausage sizes without additional accessories. The 400 V three-phase power requirement indicates the unit is designed for commercial kitchens with industrial electrical supplies, while the 53 kg weight ensures stability during operation but still allows repositioning when needed. The footprint of 490 mm by 370 mm fits on most worktops, and the 1200 mm height provides comfortable operation while standing.

Cleaning involves disassembling the cylinder and piston for thorough washing, as well as rinsing the polyethylene funnels after each use. The stainless steel surfaces can be sanitised with standard food-safe cleaners, and the hydraulic oil system is sealed, requiring no maintenance beyond occasional checks for leaks. The rubber wheels should be wiped down to prevent debris from transferring to food contact areas.

This model is a single-volume variant with a 15 L cylinder, supplied with the three standard funnels. It is categorised under professional meat processing equipment in the SAVIOLI catalogue.
