English Muffin Forker

Model 404

The Model 404 English Muffin Forker uses a forking — not cutting — mechanism to split English muffins along their natural grain, preserving the characteristic nooks and crannies that consumers expect. A clean cut would destroy the texture that makes English muffins distinctive.

Unlike blade slicing, forking preserves the nooks and crannies that give English muffins their distinctive toasting and flavor-holding qualities

Inline Integration

Designed for direct inline integration with packaging and bagging systems for fully automated English muffin processing

Sanitary Design

Stainless steel construction with washdown-rated components for daily food-safe sanitation
