Automatic Dumpling Machine: Labor-Saving Solution for Food Businesses

Increase production capacity to 5,000 pieces per hour with minimal staffing requirements


ANKO Multipurpose Filling & Forming Machine – Machinery Design for Taiwanese Company

The client runs an eatery next to a school. Two people in total have to be in charge of all works. Due to the fact that more and more people patronized the eatery, the labor shortage prompted him to develop machine production. However, high productivity was not his priority so that he ordered a set of HLT-660 series, which is within budget and enough to achieve his hourly capacity around 5000 pieces. After purchasing the machine, they prepare ingredients in the morning and then arrange production around noon, cooking after taking an order, which can satisfy a large demand during peak hours. (Note: HLT-660 series is no longer available. Please contact us for the updated HLT-700 series.)

ANKO Team Research Problem Solving or Solution Delivery

Dough tube wrinkles, which was probably caused by speed differences between machine units.

As we mentioned above, stuffing and dough tube extrusion speed, mold rotating speed are modifiable by clients themselves. We also provide training when installing machinery. However, they usually forget how to modify the parameters as needed, or their new employees don't exactly take over jobs from former employees. Therefore, ANKO offers complete after-sales service on training.

In this case, Our engineer took opportunity of replacing parts to give on-site training again. Firstly, he explained basic principles and operated machine to help staff understand the function of each parameter, and then demonstrated machine with different parameter settings and compared the finished products. Secondly, he let staff operate machine in person to modify the speed of three units according to different recipes. After they thoroughly understood machine operation, they could modify the parameters to maintain high-quality products in taste and appearance, even though the characters of dough might be changed by other factors.

Food Equipment Introduction

  • Pour stuffing into stuffing hopper.
  • Pour dough into dough hopper.
  • Extrude cylindrical stuffing from stuffing pipe.
  • Extrude dough tube from dough pipe.
  • Fill stuffing into dough tube while stuffing and dough are extruding (step 3 and 4).
  • Form products as desired by the cutting of forming mold.
  • Scrape every product from lower roller by a scrapper.
  • Line up finished products on conveyor for packing or cooking.
Various molds are available to choose.

According to the characters of dough, the speed of stuffing and dough tube extrusion as well as rotary cutter is adjustable.

With the differences of temperature, humidity, and raw materials, the characters of dough will never be the same. Due to the circumstances, depending on client and market demands, we provide machine test service to adjust machines and ingredients for clients at ANKO headquarters. However, even if we offer such comprehensive service, the parameter setup might not be suitable as they go back to their countries because the characters of dough change. As a result, the parameters of stuffing and dough extrusion speed and forming mold running speed are adjustable flexibly. Clients can modify the parameters in accordance with dough formation to achieve product standardization. From the first one to the last, they all look like the same one.
