ANKO has found there is an increasing demand for Empanadas in the World marketplace. ANKO’s research has determined that this phenomenon not only exists in Spain and Latin American countries, but also in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the Philippines. And as a result, there is a great demand for automated Empanada machines. ANKO has been approached by many companies and different clients seeking a machine that can process high fat content dough such as puff pastry in order to make Empanadas. Currently, ANKO’s HLT-700 Multipurpose Filling and Forming Machine can produce Spanish style Empanadas with the capacity of over a thousand pieces of products per hour using a variety of forming molds. ANKO’s new EMP-900 Empanada Making Machine is our latest design for making Empanadas with high fat content pastry dough. ANKO’s team has devoted much time researching and developing our Semi-automated Clamping Mold Device, and it was tested using ANKO’s client’s recipe from the USA. This machine has successfully produced Empanadas that can be either baked or deep-fried and fulfilled ANKO’s client product specifications.
The client has run Korean restaurants in Panama, where are viewed by local people as a good place to satisfy your taste buds and stomach. At that time, the owner wanted to serve more dishes in his restaurants and sell on other channels. To achieve the goal, his central kitchen had to supply various kinds of food and increase production capacity. Moreover, with the government's protectionist policies, he thought buying a machine would be good investment. Then, someone introduced ANKO and our HLT Series Multipurpose Filling and Forming Machine to the owner. During his visit to ANKO for machine trial testing, he realized that ANKO is reliable and able to offer customization and turnkey services. Finally, he chose ANKO as his business partner to grow with him.
