ANKO Automatic Shumai Machine Reduces Labor Costs for a Mauritian Company
The client has a central kitchen to produce and sell shumai to retailers and takeaways. The growing demand and labor costs prompted him to find an automation solution. Through his friend's introduction, he knew that ANKO is a professional food machine manufacturer. When he visited us for machine test, we used radish shreds in substitution for cassava shreds because cassava is not common in Taiwan. It's also an unprecedented attempt for us. Finally, we were glad to succeed in producing radish shumai by our shumai machine and earned recognition from the client.

ANKO Team Research Problem Solving or Solution Delivery
No fat in radish shreds shumai leads to unsmooth extrusion.
The design of shumai machine was based on the production of popular vegetable and meat mixture shumai. The meat fat functions as lubricant in the process. ANKO team replaced cassava shreds with radish shreds and tapioca to test. It turns out that dry filling impeded machine extrusion. After discussion with the client, ...(Please contact us to get more information)

The secret to manufacturing shumai like handmade.
Dough for making shumai wrappers contains less water and high gluten. These dough characteristics affect the possibility of dough belt breakage. Unlike other shumai machines, ANKO's shumai machine can be modified to press different thickness of dough belt. Moreover, how the extruder works with different production rates of dough belt is also influenced by many factors. Any neglect may ruin everything, which is the distinction between machine and human. Therefore, the innovative design of sensor can detect the position of dough wrapper for flexible adjustment to imitate humanlike sensitivity and create high efficiency.

One of iconic dishes in Cantonese dim sum culture is shumai. That is usually made of pork and wrapped up with a dough wrap, shaped into a top open cylinder and garnished with a pea or crab roe. Some people replace dough wraps with dried seaweed to make seaweed shumai. The client living in Mauritius is a Mauritian of Chinese origin. He would like to make the typical dim sum not with pork but with cassava which is easy to get in local. Unlike pork shumai, cassava shumai is non-greasy and has a taste of cassava fiber, making a refreshing change.
