It produces 16 equally weighted and shaped pieces at once and in just 7 seconds! This means it can produce a total of 1900 pieces per hour. The ARD16 is a strong hydraulic machine with simple controls. The controls allow operators to simply close the lid to begin the machine's cycle. It can be set for multiple languages, giving it greater flexibility.
