ANKO has Solved an Egyptian Company's problems with Sambousek Production
The company provides frozen food for numerous hotels and villages in Cairo, Egypt. Consumers can also buy their products online, in supermarkets or deli. 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. He was satisfies with ANKO's HLT-700XL model after conducting a test run at ANKO Taiwan headquarters. However, when the machine was commissioned in Egypt, dough was inelastic and couldn't be formed by the machine. The causes might be the characteristics of dough, the weather, or the effect of temperature and humidity. Fortunately, our engineer, who has many years' experience, immediately found the problem and adjusted the dough ingredients. Afterwards, the dough could be processed by the sambousek making machine normally.

ANKO Team Research Problem Solving or Solution Delivery
Solution 1. Dough is too inelastic to be formed with machine.
Dough was made with the same recipe and processed with the same machine model, but the results of the test runs conducted in Taiwan and Egypt were totally different. There are many causes, including flour brand, protein content, local weather, temperature, humidity, and even water quality. In order to solve the problem, our engineer changed……(Please contact us to get more information)
The contents of a type of food may be influenced by environmental variables. Two people make a dish with the same recipe. If they live in different countries, they might get the dish in different texture and taste. Flour is the most obvious example. ANKO has experience engineers and food researcher. Depending upon the character of local ingredients, we would systematically test and adjust recipes and machines until clients are satisfied with the texture and taste of final products, then provide the data and the way of adjustment for clients.
The chemical changes of food are so unpredictable. Only old hands are able to promptly give proper solutions to the unexpected problems.
The Sambousek dough lacked elasticity and could not be formed into the desired shapes
Solution 2. How does ANKO's engineer do when clients want to alter their product size after delivery?
Our engineers are so qualified and experienced that they are capable of providing immediate custom processing services. Sometimes, after commissioning, clients would like to alter the look of their products for perfection. The machine doesn't need to be sent back to Taiwan. Our engineers are able to determine how to process the parts to satisfy clients' requirements. Then, the alteration can be done precisely by local factories or even by the engineers themselves.
Sambousek dough is thicker than desired
After adjusting the production processes, the Sambousek dough can be properly formed
After ANKO's adjustment, we helped the client make the perfect Sambousek. By simply changing the forming molds, HLT-700XL machine can also produce different ethnic foods.
Food Equipment Introduction
- Put well-mixed stuffing in stuffing hopper.
- Put well-kneaded dough in dough hopper.
- Stuffing is extruded into a cylinder through stuffing pipe.
- Dough is extruded into a tube through dough pipe.
- While both cylindrical stuffing and dough tube are formed, stuffing is extruded into the dough tube.
- With the forming mold, the stuffed dough tube is formed into the food shape as required.
- The final products are released from the mold by scraper.
- The final products are conveyed for the sequential baking process.
In this case, these Sambousek were filled with a cheese filling
The dough hopper can process 3 kg or more dough at one time
Sambouseks are formed with a mold cutter
forming mold determines the look of a product.
forming mold in the HLT-700 series machines is responsible for the look of a product. It determines the product's size, shape, edge pattern, and edge thickness. In ANKO, over 30 kinds of forming molds are available. Clients could choose from these standard molds. We have half-circular or triangular mold for making samosa/sambousek, circular or square mold with wavy edges for making ravioli, etc. If clients would like to produce unique products, the forming mold can be customized. The sambousek in this case is made by a custom mold.
Place the mold cutter onto the “head wrack” before production
Different molds can be used to produce products with different prints
Special molds can be customized upon request

HLT-700XL
After putting the sambousek dough and stuffing into the hoppers, dough is extruded into a dough tube and filled with the mixture of cheese, spinach, and beef. Then, the filled dough tube is pressed into the sambouseks by a forming mold. The half-moon mold is widely used to make 13-gram to 100-gram products. The production capacity of HLT-700XL with the half-moon mold is between 2,000 and 10,000 pieces/hour. Moreover, it includes a built-in Internet of Things (IoT) system to provide real-time access to data monitoring to manage production better remotely. And having an inventory of spare parts and conducting regular inspections, companies can significantly reduce risks, reduce downtime, and enhance productivity.
