Dumpling Production Equipment Helps to Increase Capacity and Standardize Products
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.

HLT-700XL produce various types of dumplings with different molds
Customized forming mold
The forming mold in the forming mold set of HLT-700XL determines the look of a product, including size, shape and weight. ANKO has a team specifically to develop forming molds for our clients and all molds are precisely produced with a 5-axis CNC machine in our factory.
In this case, the client would like to make dumplings with a unique shape, so we provided several choices in accordance with the weight and size of his dumpling. Finally, we made him a half-moon shaped dumpling mold with patterned edge that we call it finger pattern. After the dumplings were produced by machine, for more unique look, they would make them into a ring shape by hand.

Chinese dumpling is a circular dough skin wrapped around filling with pinched pattern on the edge. The primary filling is pork with cabbage or leek, but there are many variants made with different ingredients such as beef, shrimps, chicken, fish, corn, kimchi, etc. Dumplings are usually boiled, steamed, pan-fried or deep-fried. Nowadays, some frozen dumplings are cooked before freezing so that people can even microwave the dumplings when busy.
