Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the complete workflow of your industrial tahini stuffed date ball machine production line?

First, the YC-170-2 Automatic Encrusting Machine uses its Lava Filling Hopper to inject precise amounts of runny tahini into dough shells. Next, the encrusted dough is sent to the YC-50 Automatic Ball Rounding Machine to form smooth, uniform balls. Then, the 1.5m Lifting Conveyor transports the balls seamlessly to the YC-52 Automatic Flour Coating Machine for even sesame coating. The line runs continuously, with output ranging from 10 to 70 balls per minute.

Why is the Lava Filling Hopper crucial for the YC-170-2 Encrusting Machine in tahini stuffed date ball production?

Tahini is a highly runny liquid filling that’s hard to control with regular hoppers. Our Lava Filling Hopper uses precision flow control valves to adjust filling speed and amount accurately, preventing over-filling, under-filling, or leakage. This ensures every tahini stuffed date ball has consistent filling—a key advantage over standard encrusting machines.

What’s the production capacity of your tahini stuffed date ball machine line?

The line can produce 10 to 70 tahini stuffed date balls per minute. You can adjust speed based on needs: 10-30 balls/min for small batches, 50-70 balls/min for full-scale production. When demand grows, you can easily expand it into a fully automated system to boost output further.

How many workers do we need to operate the tahini stuffed date ball production line?

Each single machine only needs one worker. For the basic 4-machine setup, 1-2 workers are enough thanks to smooth semi-automated transitions. When expanded to a fully automated line, you can run it with even fewer staff, cutting down labor costs significantly.

What’s the floor space requirement for the tahini stuffed date ball machine production line?

Our line is compact to save space for the basic 4-machine setup. For fully automated lines, we customize the size and layout strictly based on your factory’s actual area, ensuring it fits perfectly without wasting any usable workshop space.

Can the tahini stuffed date ball machine line produce other food items besides tahini-filled sesame date balls?

Absolutely! It’s highly versatile, capable of making over 20 foods including Maamoul, Cookies, Date Bars, Chocolate Cookies, Kubba, Kleija, Arancini, Croquettes, Falafel, Pineapple Cakes, Meat Balls, Mooncakes, and Mochi Ice Cream. All products can be adjusted from 10g to 120g.

What product sizes can the industrial tahini stuffed date ball machine handle?

Our machines support product weights from 10g to 120g. Whether you need small bite-sized tahini stuffed date balls (10-30g) for snacks or larger ones (80-120g) as desserts, you can adjust machine settings easily to get the exact size you want.

Are the control screens of the tahini stuffed date ball machine line available in multiple languages?

Yes! All screens come with English as default, and we can customize them to your local language—like Arabic, Spanish, French, etc. This eliminates language barriers for your local workers, making operation straightforward.

Can we customize the layout of the tahini stuffed date ball production line according to our factory space?

Definitely. We don’t use one-size-fits-all layouts. Our team will measure your factory’s actual area and design the fully automated line to fit perfectly, ensuring optimal workflow without blocking existing equipment or passageways.

How does the YC-50 Automatic Ball Rounding Machine ensure consistent tahini stuffed date ball shapes?

The YC-50 uses a gentle precision rounding mechanism with adjustable speed and pressure settings. It adapts to different dough textures and product sizes, forming every encrusted dough into smooth, uniform round balls that meet strict industrial quality standards.

What’s the role of the 1.5m Lifting Conveyor in the tahini stuffed date ball production line?

This conveyor connects the YC-50 Ball Rounding Machine directly to the YC-52 Flour Coating Machine. It transports rounded tahini stuffed date balls smoothly without damaging their shape, ensuring a seamless transition between steps and keeping production uninterrupted.

How does the YC-52 Automatic Flour Coating Machine ensure even sesame coating on tahini stuffed date balls?

The YC-52 is a turntable-type machine. tahini stuffed date balls roll evenly on the turntable, and its controlled feeding system applies sesame (or other coatings like flour, coconut flakes) uniformly. You can adjust coating thickness by changing turntable speed and feeding amount, avoiding excess waste.

Can we expand the tahini stuffed date ball production line later if we need higher output?

Yes! Our machines are modularly designed. When your business grows, you can add extra encrusting/rounding machines or extend conveyors to upgrade to a fully automated system—no need to replace existing equipment, saving you costs.

What kind of maintenance do the tahini stuffed date ball machines need?

Maintenance is simple: clean food-contact parts daily for hygiene, lubricate moving parts weekly to prevent wear, and check for loose components monthly. We provide a detailed manual, and our after-sales team offers 24/7 online support. On-site maintenance is also available if needed.

Does your company provide training for operating the tahini stuffed date ball production line?

Yes! We offer free on-site or online training. Our technicians will teach your workers to operate machines, adjust settings for different products, troubleshoot small issues, and do basic maintenance. Your team can run the line smoothly within 1-2 days of training.

How long is the warranty period for the industrial tahini stuffed date ball machine line?

We provide a 1-year warranty for all machines. During this period, we replace faulty quality-related parts for free and offer free repair services. After warranty expires, we still provide lifetime technical support and supply replacement parts at reasonable prices.

Can the tahini stuffed date ball machine handle other liquid or semi-liquid fillings besides tahini?

Yes! The Lava Filling Hopper is designed for all runny fillings, like chocolate sauce, fruit jam, cream, and honey. You just adjust flow control settings to match the filling’s viscosity, and the machine will inject it precisely into dough shells.

Is the tahini stuffed date ball production line suitable for small-scale factories or only large industrial plants?

It’s perfect for both. Small factories can start with a basic 2-3 machine setup for low initial investment. Large plants can use our fully automated line to meet high-volume demands. We customize the line to fit your factory size and production goals.

How do your tahini stuffed date ball machines ensure food safety in industrial production?

All food-contact parts are made of 304 stainless steel (food-grade and easy to clean). Machines have smooth surfaces without gaps where food can get stuck, reducing hygiene risks. We also follow international food safety standards in design, so you can trust product safety.

How do your tahini stuffed date ball machines compare to other similar machines on the market?

Our line has 3 key edges: 1) The specialized Lava Filling Hopper solves runny tahini filling issues (most standard machines struggle with this); 2) It makes over 20 food types, far more versatile than many competitors; 3) Customizable layout and free after-sales support make it more cost-effective long-term.
