Multipurpose Filling and Forming Machine-Machinery Design for Indonesian Company
The client has two fishing vessels and two fish processing plants to process the six-ton daily catch. One plant is dedicated to mince fish into fish paste, and the other plant is for the production of fish balls and fish products. He purchased a HLT-700XL Multipurpose Filling & Forming Machine and a SD-97W Automatic Encrusting and Forming Machine from ANKO. The HLT-700XL is used for producing deep-fried fish snacks — a new offering made of springy fish paste with a crispy wrapper. And the SD-97W is for making stuffed fish balls. The client's new plant covers 10,000 square meters and employs around 50 people. Their products are mainly sold to local supermarkets in Indonesia such as Carrefour.

ANKO Team Research Problem Solving or Solution Delivery
Find and solve the problem of mushy fish paste
As our engineer conducted a commissioning in the client's plant, the SD-97W had the difficulty in forming fish ball wrapper. The possible causes might be the ingredients or the equipment. They first eliminated the former because the fish paste was exactly the same as that he brought to ANKO for a machine test. At that time, he was satisfied with the test and everything was fine. Then, our engineer found they stirred fish paste with an emulsifier, instead of a mixer that we used as testing. After changing, the machine works well and smoothly to manufacture fish ball with filling.
Operate the machine with ease - just load the hoppers with pre-mixed fish paste and the desired fillings. ANKO's SD-97W machine will automatically and rapidly produce stuffed fish balls to the specified size and weight, ensuring that the quality and flavor rival handmade versions.

Fish ball is a type of processed food made with fish and starch. It is popular in coastal regions and island countries because excessive catches can be processed into fish balls to add values and extend shelf lives. The name and recipe of fish ball vary from country to country such as fish eggs (魚蛋) in Hong Kong, Fuzhou fish balls (福州魚丸) with pork filling, and various kinds of fish balls in Taiwan. Because the fishery industry advances, fish ball is one of popular fish products in Indonesia.
