The client sells a great variety of foods. Although glutinous rice ball was not one of the main products, he needed a solution to produce glutinous rice balls effectively. Therefore, he visited ANKO's booth at a Hong Kong exhibition. Compared to other glutinous rice balls, the client's filling recipe contains more ingredients, including peanut powder, coconut powder, and sugar powder, which makes workers hard to fill the same ingredient quantities into each glutinous rice ball. Nevertheless, it is also difficult for machine to extrude powder filling because it easily tends to clump up and clog the filling system. Therefore, for making stuffed food with powder filling, ANKO's Automatic Encrusting and Forming Machine with a special designed powder filling system is highly recommended.

Selling products in multi sales channel had leaded to an increasing demand, so the company's owner, via a dealer, had been looking for a supplier who can offer an automated production solution for making kubba. It's always a challenge to make a machine work well with a new recipe. In this case, we had a problem in forming kubba because the crust was too sticky. The just formed kubba would stick to the shutter unit and then be broken while the shutter unit opened. Through recipe and temperature adjustment, ANKO team solved the problem successfully.

20 years ago, a Chinese restaurant opened, serving Shanghai style dim sum which then became popular with the local people. However, the issues of labor shortage, limited capacity, and workload drove the owner to make a change. During his visit to ANKO, he had good experience with ANKO's machine trial service. During the visit, both of us could have a better understanding of each other. Based upon his ideas, concerns, and needs, we customized two forming molds to help him mass-produce shanghai wontons that were complicated to fold by hand. With ANKO's HLT-700XL, now the owner doesn't bother to recruit and train cooks and can increase capacity to meet demands.
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.
In order to increase production capacity, the client switched from manual to automatic production and bought a semi-automatic siomay machine. At first, we recommended a single-line automatic siomay machine to him, but, taking many factors into consideration, he decided to have a semi-automatic siomay machine. Just two years later, the number of his restaurants had tripled. Therefore, he purchased an automatic double-line automatic siomaiy machine without much thinking.
The client runs restaurants, Indian food retail stores, and food factories at the largest Indian community in Birmingham, UK. Their major consumers are the Indians in the UK. Years ago, the client bought a food machine from ANKO.

Therefore, he placed another order for spring roll production line this time because he thinks ANKO is reliable. (The SR-24 is no longer available. The new model is SR-27 machine.)
The company owns a Cantonese restaurant serving handmade dim sum. With business growth, a lack of supply and problems with staff management had come out. It took an average of three months for a new employee to become fully productive. Therefore, the client started finding an automatic solution. At first, the client knew ANKO by searching from the Internet and visiting IBA Munich, which is a trade show held in Germany every two years, but he didn't contact us until the next IBA Munich. He placed an order without having a machine trial because he thought ANKO had considerable experience in food machinery. He purchased an HLT-700XL Multipurpose Filling and Forming Machine and an EA-100KA Forming Machine. With these two machines, he could make a wide variety of dishes, such as dumpling, steamed dumpling, crystal dumpling, fun guo, soup dumpling, increase production capacity and decrease labor costs. Moreover, when ANKO's engineer conducted on-side commissioning, our engineer helped solve his problem that soup dumplings had no soup.
The owner's kompia is so delicious that people are willing to travel a long way to his store in a rural area. However, 1,000-1,200 kompias made by five people a day were not able to meet the demand. That made people feel disappointed and sometimes brought customers into conflict. The client contacted ANKO's Malaysian distributor for SD-97SS, but after a machine trial, ANKO's engineer thought that the HLT-700XL and EA-100KA was more suitable for kompia dough that was firmer for making crispy kompia, while the SD-97SS is suitable for soft fermented dough for creating fluffy texture. Therefore, our engineer immediately decided to use HLT-700XL and EA-100KA to make some samples. With the samples and ANKO's soft power of food and ingredients, the client had complete confidence in us and placed an order.
