Perfect Patties, Every Time: Meet the Claasens Patty Former Range
Why Consistency Makes a Better Burger
Ever made a batch of burger patties only to find that some are thick, some thin, and no two seem to fit the bun properly? Whether you’re preparing burgers at home, running a butchery, café, food truck or commercial kitchen, consistency matters. The Claasens Patty Former range makes creating neat, uniform patties quick, simple and repeatable.
What Is a Claasens Patty Former?
A Claasens Patty Former is a manually operated burger press designed to shape mince into consistently sized patties. Place your prepared mince into position, lower the former and apply even pressure to create a uniform shape.
The range offers four options for different menus and serving styles: the 100mm round Patty Former for classic burgers, the larger 130mm XL for gourmet-style burgers, the 100mm square Dagwood for sandwiches and toasties, and the elongated 140mm x 55mm Rib Patty Former for rib-style buns.
Built on more than 70 years of Claasens engineering experience, these proudly South African patty formers combine straightforward operation with durable construction.
