Potsticker Automatic Production Equipment Designed with a Customized Forming Mold
The long-established North China cuisine restaurant is owned by a veteran emigrating from China. Its signature dish --potsticker--is many people's all time favorite, as a result, the supply was often unable to meet the demand. Then, they decided to manufacture potstickers with machine and took the opportunity to improve the appearance of their potstickers. In the end, they found ANKO because we offer customization services and project solutions. The project was totally different from the development of other standard potsticker making machines. During the period of research and development, we'd tried potstickers with both-end-open, both-end-close, different sizes and types of sealed ends as well as given them many professional suggestions patiently. Finally, the customized forming mold for making both-end-close potstickers and the final products satisfied their needs and gave them more confidence in boosting sales in the future.

ANKO Team Research Problem Solving or Solution Delivery
Meat tendons were too long to tear wrappers
Through the forming mold of HLT-700XL, products are formed as the way of die cutting. If there were too many tendons in the filling mixture, it would lead to numerous final products unsealed and even torn. Thus, users should pay attention to the length of tendons as preparing meat in case it might have a great impact on the yield.
The dough tube was twisted in the producing process, as a result, the look of the final products was not pleasing and they could not stand firmly on the griddle.
The HLT series extrude dough tube to wrap filling. The extrusion pressure, as a rule, randomly distributes over the dough tube, so sometimes the extruded tube is twisted and bent. In the past, it was not a problem because the products are formed by the caves on the both sides of the forming mold. It could effectively straighten the curved tube. However, it became a problem in this project since firstly the forming caves were arranged on one side; secondly, the filling wasn't fully stuffed in the dough tube according to the client's recipe. In order to solve the problem, ANKO's engineer imitated hand gestures to…(Contact ANKO immediately for more information)

Customize a forming mold for both-end-open potstickers
The restaurant had served handmade potstickers with both ends open, whereas most products made by ANKO's HLT-700XL are both-end-close. We had never customized a forming mold similar to the client's requirement. It's a whole new project so that we involved ourselves in researching and developing, at the same time, we offered the client some professional suggestions and other similar cases for references. Finally, the customized forming mold could successfully produce both-end-open potstickers and the taste after frying was also satisfying.

Potsticker, a variant of dumpling, is pan-fried stuffed food with long shape and golden brown bottom. It is usually stuffed with pork and cabbage or pork and leek mixture. As cooking, spread oil in the pan to prevent potstickers from sticking, then add them in a single layer. Pour water and cover the lid to cook. The fried potstickers with golden brown and slightly burnt bottoms look so mouth-watering. For people who like the crispy taste, mixing some flour into water to fry would create a larger crust.
