ANKO Created Filling Solutions for a Tunisian Client to make 150g super-sized Calzones
The client is an owner of a hotel chain in Tunisia. Speaking of cooking, their insistence on food has gained favor with visitors and got great comments on some travel websites. The calzone, both its recipe and ingredients, is handmade by their chef. As spending holidays in the hotel, tourists can buy a portable calzone at a concession stand and enjoy it as leisurely walking around. Due to the widespread reputation of the dish, they decided to buy a machine to meet the growing demand or the future launch of new menu in their restaurants. Then, the gourmet calzones could be produced in their central kitchen and distributed to each restaurant, which not only maintains product quality, but also cuts the labor cost.

Food Equipment Introduction
- Put well-mixed stuffing in stuffing hopper.
- Put well-kneaded dough in dough hopper.
- Stuffing is extruded into a cylinder through stuffing pipe.
- Dough is extruded into a tube through dough pipe.
- While both cylindrical stuffing and dough tube are formed, stuffing is extruded into the dough tube.
- With the pressure of forming mold, the stuffed dough tube is formed into the food shape as required.
- The use of scraper helps release food products from the mold.
- Arrange finished products on conveyor for the sequential baking process.

Calzones are formed automatically using ANKO HLT-700XL machine
In the production of calzone, controlling the dough temperature properly can ensure the stable production.
The temperature increases while machine presses dough, which may lead to too soft and sticky dough. ANKO's HLT-series machine is equipped with a cooling system to maintain dough pipe in a certain temperature to guarantee the best taste. The cooling system is considerately designed a light to remind workers to refill iced water, helping to save checking time.
The design basics of custom mold
ANKO's Multipurpose Filling & Forming Machine facilitates great product variety through changeable mold. Due to a huge demand for customization, our engineers continue enhancing the ability of mold design. In terms of forming mold, the pattern is carved along the rims of hollow parts. With its pressure as rotating, dough is squeezed into hollow parts and formed.
