breakfast sausage patties
-
If I were going to modify it what I’d do is just make a “filler” piece to fill in the openings, leaving an opening the size of the patties I wanted to make. Pretty sure that’d be the easiest way to make it work, at least in my mind I think it would. Worth a try.
AdamCA the problem that I see in a filler piece is it would come out with each patty then need to be held in place for each movement of the slide

craigrice The inside is angled so you could make the filler (1 for ea side) a friction fit, and I think if you used a nylon or cutting board material it would work. You wouldn’t have to move it from side to side if you made to plus it is a friction fit then it isn’t going to come out with the patties. If I get time I’ll try to make something and post pictures. I’m a wood worker and fairly certain I could come up with something that’ll work. The only reason I haven’t yet is because my wife prefers the breakfast sausage in bags instead of links and she can hand form patties if we want them.

AdamCA yes I have all the woodworking tools also but I still make patty by hand press I just haven’t purchased a patty maker yet but looking at the adapter for the stuffer it has to breakdown for cleaning so changing the tray that slides should not be a problem

craigrice You definitely could just make another tray to use for breakfast patties pretty easy. I don’t know why but I never even considered that, I just went straight to overthinking the solution and blew right past the easiest one.

AdamCA the key would be to find a material that you could sanitize and be able to work a piece of maple might even work !

AdamCA I think that 3 holes would be the way to go fill 1 then slide , fill 2, slide then 3 then when it is full you go the other way and drop that patty

craigrice You guys are already taking it fiurther than I was planning on doing. If you do try to cut out part of a cutting board make sure you get an angle to the edges as the cavities are angled.
I am still going to try my very simple test!

A friend of mine takes a piece of PVC pipe the size of the patty he wants and cuts it in half down the length. Then puts plastic wrap in one half and fills with sausage and wraps the plastic wrap over it and then the top half of PVC and clamps. Into the freezer for a few hours then cuts with his slicer. Just another idea.

My thought involves some PVC pipping too, used differently than that. If anyone is wanting to try what jehatha is talking about you can also do it with PolyTubing and freeze that and cut with a saw. It’s what a lot of commercial processors do when they dont have a patty machine.

Jonathon that’s the way we did it when I worked in that buisness

Okay, so what we have here is my first attempt at a slider “insert” for the Weston Rapid Forming Patty Attachment. I bought some 3" (ID) PVC piping and cut it down to 3/4" in width. Some good news, the opening are tapered and with a 3" PVC pipe the outside diameter is wide enough that it gets trapped in the bottom of the cavity, so you insert stays in when you slide it open. The downside is also that the cavity is tapered so it is very hard to accurately measure how thick to cut them. I havent tested these yet but I am expecting a mess on my hands as I think the cavity will fill up and then it will go out and over the top as the insert doesnt reach all the way to the top. For anyone who is going to try this I’d suggest starting at just about 3/4" light. I am going to use my Miter Saw at home to try to make a perfectly straight cut. I was using a sawsall and a hand-held band saw and getting a perfectly straight cut was difficult.
Also, make sure you file the edges to get rid of any plastic bits…yeah, fair warning, youre probably gonna end up eating some PVC if you di it this way!

Joe Hell let me know what angle the taper is if would please.

Okay, so I tried this again with my miter saw and got a cleaner and straighter cut, it was also a cleaner cut, no little strands of PVC curling up around the edge. The bad news is that the PVC pipe only sits in there because of a knob on the side of the PVC, not that it sits there on its own. I should be trying this in the next few days.
