Small Energy Protein Date Ball Rounding Encrusting Machine Production Line
A fully automated coating and forming production line specifically designed for energy date balls, integrating spherical shaping, multi-layer coating, and polishing processes. The equipment utilizes a flexible molding system to perfectly handle date paste base materials mixed with nuts/protein powder, achieving millimeter-level precision in forming spherical products with diameters of 15–35 mm. Equipped with a dual-stage coating device, it supports multiple surface treatments such as cocoa butter coating, crushed nut coating, and coconut rolling. The production line comes standard with visual inspection and weight sorting modules, ensuring product consistency >98%. The entire line features a modular design with adjustable capacity of 2,000–5,000 units per hour, suitable for standardized production of healthy foods such as protein energy balls, vegan date balls, and nutritional supplement snacks.

Why Choose Our Protein Ball Line?
Precise Dosing & Mixing
Designed to handle fine protein powders and sticky ingredients (like peanut butter, honey), ensuring even distribution and perfect taste in every bite.
Consistent Size & Weight
Advanced forming system guarantees identical weight, size, and density for every ball. Crucial for portion control and nutrition labeling.
High Output & Efficiency
The automated line can run 24/7, producing thousands of balls per hour, significantly reducing labor costs and maximizing your ROI.
Flexibility for Your Formula
Produce different sizes and shapes by changing molds. Easily adapt to vegan protein, collagen, or various flavor recipes.
Production Line Workflow
Automatic Feeding & Mixing
Ingredients (protein powder, oats, nut butter, binders like honey) are automatically measured and fed into a twin-screw mixer for gentle, homogeneous mixing.
Rolling & Forming
The mixed dough is rolled into a sheet of uniform thickness. A precision forming machine cuts and shapes it into perfect spheres with minimal waste.
Coating & Decorating (Optional)
(Optional) Integrate a chocolate coating machine, enrober, or drum for coating balls in chocolate, coconut, or protein powder.
Cooling & Solidifying
Products pass through a cooling tunnel to crystallize coatings and set the balls, maintaining ideal texture.
Automated Packaging
Finished products are automatically counted and packaged into pouches, jars, or boxes, ready for shipment to gyms and health stores worldwide.
