The Univex 1404 Hamburger Patty Press
The Univex 1404 manual patty press delivers uniform 4" diameter patties in seconds, supporting high-volume production in commercial kitchens. Its single-lever operation and anodized aluminum construction with stainless steel components ensure reliable performance and easy cleaning. The press forms patties up to 5 oz, providing consistent portion control for burgers, crab cakes, fish cakes, or veggie burgers across restaurants, catering operations, and institutional kitchens.
4" Diameter Standard Patty Formation
The 1404 forms 4" diameter patties up to 5 oz, the standard for burgers, sliders, and appetizers. This size supports a range of menu items, from regular burgers to kids' meals, while ensuring each patty is uniform in shape and weight. Staff can quickly form patties as needed during service or prepare batches in advance, all without the cost or complexity of motorized equipment.
Simple Three-Step Operation
The 1404 uses a straightforward three-step process: push the handle back, place the meat or mix on the plate, then press the release button and pull the handle forward to form the patty. The press plate rises automatically for easy removal. This ergonomic design reduces operator fatigue and delivers consistent results, even during long production runs.
Integrated Divider System for Stacking Efficiency
A built-in holder for paper dividers keeps workflow efficient during high-volume production. The press comes with 1000 dividers, so operators can separate patties for stacking, refrigeration, or freezing without sticking. This integrated system keeps dividers accessible and removes the need for separate dispensers. Optional wax paper dividers (model 1000556, boxes of 5000) are available for larger operations. The anodized aluminum and stainless steel finish resists corrosion and stands up to daily use. The compact benchtop design fits easily on prep counters, measuring 10.375" high when closed and 13" open, with a 7.25" base width (9.75" with handle) and 10.25" base depth (16.25" with handle back). Weighing 12 lbs, the unit is stable during use and portable for flexible placement.
