2. Production Line Workflow
The fully automated process requires only 1 operator for monitoring, ensuring efficiency and consistency.
1
Raw Material Preparation
Prepare outer dough, liquid tahini filling and sesame seeds. Load dough into the YC-170-2 hopper and tahini into the lava filling hopper.
2
Encrusting
The YC-170-2 precisely injects controlled-flow tahini filling into the outer dough to form a wrapped dough piece.
3
Rounding
The YC-50 rounding machine shapes the wrapped dough into smooth, uniform balls.
4
Conveying
The 1.5m lifting conveyor transports rounded balls to the YC-52 coating machine without manual handling.
5
Sesame Coating
The YC-52 rotating turntable coats the balls evenly with sesame seeds. Excess sesame is recycled to minimize waste.
6
Finished Product
Collect fully coated tahini date balls for packaging or further processing such as baking and cooling.

Also manual making is not hygienic, workers touch material by hands, easy to have bacteria. Labor cost is very high now, one worker salary maybe $500/month, 10 workers is $5,000/month. Our line only need 1 worker, you save $4,500 every month, big money!
What specific equipment is needed for a complete Tahini Stuffed Date Ball production line?
You need four main machines: First, YC-170-2 Automatic Encrusting Machine with Lava Filling Hopper—this is most important for liquid tahini. Second, YC-50 Automatic Ball Rounding Machine to make round shape. Third, Lifting Conveyor (1.5m length) to connect rounding machine to coating machine. Fourth, YC-52 Automatic Flour Coating Machine (Turntable Type) for coating sesame or flour. These four machines form complete automatic production line, no need extra equipment. All machines have CE certificate and food grade SUS304 stainless steel.
Why is the Lava Filling Hopper special for tahini filling?
This is very important question! Tahini is liquid and very easy flow, normal hopper cannot control, will make big mess.

Without this hopper, you cannot make good Tahini Stuffed Date Ball.
How many workers are needed to operate the Tahini Stuffed Date Ball production line?
Only one worker! Yes, you hear right, just one worker can operate whole line. The worker only need put dough and tahini material into machines, then collect finished products at end. All processes are automatic: encrusting, rounding, conveying, coating. This can save you big labor cost. If before you need 10 workers, now only 1 worker, you save 9 workers salary every month. For example, if one worker salary is $500/month, you save $4,500 per month, that’s $54,000 per year! Very big advantage for your profit.
