Features

• Automatic Onigiri and Rice Ball Forming: Automatically portions and shapes cooked rice for repeatable commercial onigiri, musubi, and formed-rice production.
• Up to 1,950 Rice Balls Per Hour: U.S. specifications list production from approximately 1,300–1,950 pieces per hour depending on forming setup and operating conditions.
• Fast 1.8–2.8 Second Forming Cycle: Rapid portioning and shaping helps support high-volume restaurant, retail, and commissary production.
• Multiple Rice Ball Shapes: Interchangeable forming rollers allow the ASM575A to produce triangular onigiri, rectangular musubi, and other rice shapes and sizes.
• Onigiri and Omusubi Production: Forms Japanese-style rice balls for traditional or contemporary filled and wrapped onigiri menu applications.
• Spam Musubi Capability: Rectangular forming configurations support rice portions for Spam musubi and similar Hawaiian and Japanese-American menu items.

• Makunouchi Rice Portions: Available forming configurations support shaped rice portions for bento and Makunouchi-style meal presentation.
• Interchangeable Forming Rollers: Change forming components to produce different portion sizes, shapes, and menu applications from one commercial rice-forming machine.
• Helical Forming System: AUTEC’s forming system is designed to create clearly defined rice-ball shapes while maintaining a soft, airy internal texture.
• Adjustable Rice Volume: Rice quantity can be adjusted from settings 01–50 to fine-tune the size and density of each formed portion.
• Adjustable Density and Compression: Operators can customize how firmly each rice ball is formed to match the desired texture and presentation.
• Controlled Air-to-Rice Balance: The forming process is designed to maintain air within the rice portion rather than excessively compacting the individual grains.
