This client is a third-generation Chinese American who inherited his grandfather's wholesale food business in the United States. A few years ago, his company had to adjust to accommodate the changes in the overall marketplace and focused on producing and distributing Chinese cuisines. After thorough market research, the client purchased ANKO's HLT-700U Multipurpose Filling and Forming Machine to make authentic Chinese Dumplings. After nearly a year of market testing, which showed promising sales, the client further invested in the ER-24 Automatic Egg Roll Production Line and AF-589 Conveyor Fryer a year later. ANKO's high-quality and durable food machinery has successfully helped clients excel in authentic Chinese food production and become leaders in the market.
ANKO regards the IoT system as the foundation for new automated production lines when transforming into an intelligent factory influenced by the Industry 4.0 movement. Our new IoT system was officially introduced in December 2022 after more than three years of development working with system integration companies and various feasibility tests. ANKO introduces our IoT system to the HLT-700U Multipurpose Filling and Forming Machine, to satisfy the increasing market demand for various Dumplings and similar food products that our clients request Worldwide. During the development stage, a Taiwanese client used ANKO’s HLT-700U to produce Dumplings and based on their feedback, our engineers continued to improve our IoT system. After multiple user testing and verification, this client was very satisfied with the advantages ANKO’s IoT system provided to their production needs. ANKO is able to assist businesses transition into smart manufacturing, and we are also proud to have achieved new milestones in smart machine innovation and in the food production process.
A client and her partners started a business in Singapore. These entrepreneurs later decided to invest in the Chinese Dim Sum business in 2019. Initially they purchased equipment from a supplier in China, but the equipment was not as user friendly and required multiple employees to operate. Additionally, they encountered many difficulties and problems during their manufacturing processes. Fortunately, this very same client found ANKO. ANKO is a company that is dedicated to Quality and Productivity while offering customized production solutions for various food products and catering to each of our client’s unique requirements. This client purchased ANKO’s HLT-700XL and EA-100KA for producing dumplings and Xiaolong soup dumplings. The company supplies many schools with dumplings, and they are also working with many central kitchens. With ANKO’s equipment this client was able to establish their own brand since have enjoyed great success.
Due to high labor costs and employee management issues, the client, specialized in making Chinese food, started to look for a food processing line for making fried and steamed dumplings. A friend recommended ANKO Food Machine Company to the client. With dumpling making equipment operates automatically, the client is able to increase their production amount with better management. In addition, AFD-888 with CE certificate meets the client's necessary requirement- food safety and hygiene. It is the most important reason that the client chooses ANKO. (The AFD-888 is no longer available. The replacement model is HLT-700U machine.)
The client begins business by manufacturing seasoning. Up to now, the company has been established for more than one hundred years, providing delicious, health, and safety food to gourmets. Since their dim sum products are on the market in 1990, they have applied ANKO's stir fryers (SF Series), dumpling making machines (HLT-700 Series), spring roll production line (SR-24), semi-automatic spring roll production line (SRPF Series) to produce and sale frozen foods, including Chinese fried rice/noodle and various kinds of dim sum, in many countries. With the growth of demands, the supply of Har Gow (Shrimp dumpling), made by hand, was unable to meet a large number of orders. This client still purchased an automatic dumpling machine with Har Gow (Shrimp dumpling) forming device from ANKO because they believe in our machine quality, which achieves the client's ideas with regard to strictly maintaining sanitary environment, controlling every production process, and providing the safest food to consumers.
Vegetarian foods are the client's primary products. The manual production no longer meets the growing demands. For that reason, automation is what they need to boost capacity and profits.
The client is an owner of a hotel chain in Tunisia. Speaking of cooking, their insistence on food has gained favor with visitors and got great comments on some travel websites. The calzone, both its recipe and ingredients, is handmade by their chef. As spending holidays in the hotel, tourists can buy a portable calzone at a concession stand and enjoy it as leisurely walking around. Due to the widespread reputation of the dish, they decided to buy a machine to meet the growing demand or the future launch of new menu in their restaurants. Then, the gourmet calzones could be produced in their central kitchen and distributed to each restaurant, which not only maintains product quality, but also cuts the labor cost.
The client runs an eatery next to a school. Two people in total have to be in charge of all works. Due to the fact that more and more people patronized the eatery, the labor shortage prompted him to develop machine production. However, high productivity was not his priority so that he ordered a set of HLT-660 series, which is within budget and enough to achieve his hourly capacity around 5000 pieces. After purchasing the machine, they prepare ingredients in the morning and then arrange production around noon, cooking after taking an order, which can satisfy a large demand during peak hours. (Note: HLT-660 series is no longer available. Please contact us for the updated HLT-700 series.)
The growing demand for frozen food and take-out food has led to intense competition in the Spanish frozen market. The client has run restaurants and sold frozen food to many supermarkets. Due to the expansion of the market, they needed a complete productivity solution that allowed new dumpling making machine to work well with their packing line and comply with food hygiene regulations. ANKO, as a solution provider, has many related experiences and the ability to customize machines, so they decided to cooperate with us. (The AFD-888 is no longer available. The replacement model is HLT-700U machine.)
To increase capacity and standardize products are the main issues that drive food manufacturers and restaurant owners, including this client, to switch from manual to automatic production. The dumplings served in the company's restaurant chains were made by hand in its own central kitchen. Consumers really liked the handmade dumplings, but 'sold out" was the most important issue with which the company had to deal. Moreover, the size, weight, and taste of handmade dumplings might vary from batch to batch. Using a dumpling maker can both improve capacity and achieve standardization. Therefore, he chose us as the solution provider for the automatic production of dumplings. He also wanted to serve deep-fried dumplings and steamed dumplings to satisfy customers' appetite after increasing capacity.
Customers want to increase production capacity by moving from manual to automatic production. However, sometimes machine-made dumplings cannot meet their required shape. Either customers have to give up having handmade pleats and delicate patterns or they stay in manual production. Dumpling machine has been ANKO's bestseller. We have received many inquiries about dumpling shapes. "Do you have other more natural patterns?", "Do you have pinching patterns?", "Do you have other pinching patterns?", "Why is the machine-made dumplings not mouth-watering?" and so on. To response these demands, we started a series of development processes.
