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.
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 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.)
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.
