The expo questions, answered.

Strips of different thickness dry at different rates, so water activity ends up inconsistent across the batch — which affects both shelf life and food safety. Uniform deposition means uniform thickness, even drying, and consistent water activity, tray after tray.

In production. The first unit has run daily at a USDA-inspected processor since April 2026. You can reserve one now.

It's on wheels — about 15 minutes to set up and 15 to tear down. Roll it in next to your stuffer for a session, then roll it away for storage. No dedicated floor space required.

Yes. The Meat Bot is custom-built to your floor plan and syncs with your stuffer to coordinate deposition — significantly cutting forming time. It works alongside grinders and stuffers from Weston, LEM, Vemag, and others.

3-strip, 5-strip, and meat-stick nozzles today — and we'll custom-build any nozzle you need. Our patent filing covers any strip count.

Unlike water-wheel systems, loss is minimal — about 3–5 lb per run — and it cleans and sanitizes quickly (wipe-down on the standard build, or full hose-down with the optional wash-down package), so it's practical on small, medium, and large batches.

The standard build is wipe-down only — tool-free nozzle/plate disassembly, then wipe and sanitize; don't point a hose at it. If you want full wash-down, add the $3,000 wash-down package when you order: the actuators and motors on the deposition section — the parts that meet meat residue — are replaced with IP67-rated units (the motors are upgraded to servos), and every Meat Bot already ships with a stainless-steel table and an IP65-rated electrical cabinet. With the package, you can hose the machine down after a run.

Yes. Snack-stick lines extrude into beef collagen casings, which add a beef-derived ingredient and allergens. The Meat Bot deposits casing-free strips — just your meat.

It runs on 220V. On a 110/120V site, we provide a step-up transformer — just tell us your setup.

No app. You run the Meat Bot from any tablet, phone, or computer browser over WiFi — it can even broadcast its own network. It runs its program on its own, so production never depends on the internet. Cloud features like remote monitoring, fleet view, and automatic updates are a bonus on top.

Production keeps going — the machine runs the job itself, not the tablet. If a run ever stalls, it detects it and safely resets to a known-good state, with one-tap recovery on screen, so an operator can clear it without a service call.

Large Meat Bot pre-order pricing is $30,000 (then $35K early-adopter, $40K list). A flat $10,000 deposit (wire/ACH) holds your build slot; the balance is Net 15 from delivery. Lead time is ~5 months for first units, ~3 months after.

Yes — we demo live at trade shows and can arrange a walkthrough. Request a demo below and we'll set it up.
