If you’ve eaten a hot dog in the last 40 years, there’s a good chance it came from a Drake Loader. With over 1,700 machines operating worldwide, Drake is a small company with a big reach—recognized across the globe as the standard in automated loading for hot dogs and sausages.

But we’re more than “tube foods.” Our long-lasting, proven loaders also handle pickles, cheese sticks, snack sticks, corn dogs, patties, poultry, and more. Whatever the product, our focus is the same: sustainable, reliable, and innovative equipment that delivers food safety, efficiency, and measurable ROI.

Our success is built on core values—doing the right thing, respecting our work and customers, staying accountable, collaborating to grow knowledge, and bringing enthusiasm to every project. When you work with Drake, you’re partnering with a friendly, experienced team passionate about solving problems and keeping production lines moving forward.

As part of the Middleby Processing and Packaging Technology Brands, and supported by our network of global agents, Drake combines engineering expertise with worldwide resources to meet the needs of food processors everywhere.

"“In everything we do, from our legacy hot dog collators to the newest robotic integrations, we ask ourselves one thing, ‘What will help our customers the most?’” - Robyn Dean, President.
