Shumai (Siomay)
Food Variation
Ingredients vary depending on the region. For example, Shumai (Siomay) in Indonesia can contain fish with tofu and vegetables in peanut sauce. In China, it contains pork, fish paste and shrimp whereas in the Philippines, Shumai (Siomay) is stuffed with ground pork, beef, shrimp and then wrapped in wonton wrappers. Our client is supplying Shumai (Siomay) in Hong Kong, therefore, Chinese Shumai (Siomay) is required with a recipe of flour, egg yolk, salt, water, fish paste and oil.
ANKO Team Research Problem Solving or Solution Delivery
Solution 1. Fish Paste Stickiness Issue for the Chinese Shumai (Siomay) Making Equipment
Fish Paste's stickiness was a troublesome problem for the Chinese Shumai (Siomay) processing line. During the test, the viscosity of fish paste was leaving too much paste behind and causing the frequent cleaning of stuffing section. "The Shumai (Siomay) processing equipment had to stop every 30 minutes during the process and restart again," said by ANKO engineering team. To solve the problem, they had to minimize the gap between... (Please contact us to get more information)
When fish paste becomes too viscous it can cause machine malfunctions which often requires resetting
Solution 2. 14 g Shumai (Siomay) Processing Machinery
Based on the client's requirement, Shumai (Siomay) wrapper has to be very thin and the Shumai (Siomay) has to be light. The thickness of wrapping skin would be 0.3～0.5mm and each Shumai (Siomay) would weigh 14 grams. The special requirement is not standard specifications, ANKO's engineering team needed to customize the equipment. In the end, the whole Shumai (Siomay) processing equipment was successfully designed to meet their needs.
ANKO's machine is able to produce uniformed 14g Shumai as the client requested
Solution 3. Labor Cost Reduction
The client would like to reduce the labor cost and let some employees go for other production line. Thus, an automatic Shumai (Siomay) making machine was designed to solve the labor cost issue. What’s more, double line Shumai (Siomay) making machine was custom-made to increase production capability rather than a single line.
ANKO's double line production model can drastically increase output capacity
Food Equipment Introduction
- First use ANKO's planetary mixer to stir ingredients to assure all mixtures are well blended.
- Separately place dough and well mixed stuffing in designed hoppers.
- When ready, Shumai (Siomay) processing equipment with a PLC control panel can be started.
- ANKO machine automatically makes dough ball into 0.4-0.5mm thick dough belt.
- This Shumai (Siomay) making process, including dough ball pressing, dough skin cutting, stuffing, forming, delivering, cooling and packaging.
Fundamental of Design
- Food machinery is able to handle large orders and save energy and space at the same time.
- Of course, reasonable price is a must.
- With the effective Shumai (Siomay) production, the restaurant owner in Hong Kong was able to transfer some labors to other production lines, which is a win-win situation.
