What is a commercial portion control head?

A portion control head is a mechanical tool used in professional kitchens and meat processing facilities to cut out the guesswork when making sausages or similar products. Instead of manually measuring each portion, it automatically delivers the same amount of meat every time when attached to a hydraulic stuffer. The Omcan 18944 is built for exactly this purpose — keeping portions accurate and production moving smoothly, whether you're running a mid-size sausage operation, an institutional kitchen, or a commercial processing line.
