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.
An ANKO client operates a food factory in Poland that specializes in manufacturing frozen foods. Pierogi is one of the national staples of Poland. This client initially relied heavily on producing Pierogi manually, then later switched to automated production using machines from a different manufacturer and encountered unresolved production issues. Then they discovered ANKO’s HLT-700U Multipurpose Filling and Forming Machine, which is perfect for producing Pierogis, and it was supplied by ANKO’s local agent in Poland; it has a CE Marking and comes with Artisanal forming molds that can create dumplings that closely resemble traditional handmade Pierogis. Our client was satisfied with ANKO’s machine, production solutions, and our local agent was also very supportive with providing our client with current market insights.
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.
