ANKO Team Research Problem Solving or Solution Delivery

Since the machine released heat in the producing process, the dough was over leavened. ANKO engineer modified the recipe to remain the original taste.

We did a test run of the machine with the client's steamed custard bun recipe. However, the finished buns were inelastic and sank. Through a careful check, we found that the problem was caused by heat released in the producing process. Our engineer adjusted two ingredients...(Please contact us to get more information)

Food Equipment Introduction

  • Put filling into filling hopper, turn on the filling and shutter system to adjust and set filling size as required.
  • Put dough into dough hopper, adjust the shutter system until the wrapper weight meets the requirement.
  • As the product can be extruded stably with the correct wrapper to filling ratio, SD-97W can be started to automatically wrap custard filling and then divide filled dough into equal-sized balls.

Leavened food products include high sugar and water content. These kinds of food easily stick to machine parts. Let's see how SD-97W Automatic Encrusting and Forming Machine is designed to avoid the problem?

Most sweet snacks and leavened foods are sticky because of high sugar and water content. As ANKO planned to create new machinery, one of projects aimed at this group of food. In order to avoid sticking, our engineers elaborately designed the food contact surfaces of the forming system as less as possible. Only the shutter unit contacts food briefly. Although there is no doubt that the structure of the shutter unit has a significant impact on production, the shutter speed is the key to success. As the shutter opens and closes, a product is formed perfect and pleasing. Moreover, for stickier food production such as mochi, the plate for collecting finished products will be coated with Teflon and dusted with some flour. Also, using the plate, instead of conveyor, can prevent flour from scattering on the ground.

ANKO Food Machines are the key to making unique and diversified food products

ANKO's SD-97W Automatic Encrusting and Forming Machines uses clamping molds with different prints and shapes to create a wide range of products. Additionally, ANKO can also custom design clamping molds based on your product specifications and requirements. In this Taiwanese company’s case, the products are made with a spherical bun mold without any pleat prints to make perfect custard buns.

Machines
SD-97W

SD-97W Automatic Encrusting and Forming Machine is designed to produce food products with filling. With its shutter unit, filled dough can be divided into small or large products, from a minimum of 10 g to a maximum of 70 g. Patterned or non-patterned shutter units are also optional to form different shapes of food such as baozi, coxinha, kubba, etc. In this case, the client installed the non-patterned shutter unit to cut custard-filled dough up into balls as required.

Moreover, it features a built-in Internet of Things (IoT) system to display real-time production data including daily production volume, material waste, and production issue reports to help improve overall factory digital management and efficiency. ANKO's IoT system monitors the vibrations of each machine part to determine the functionality and status of the core machine parts, and this data can be converted into comprehensive graphics and charts. This makes the inspection more efficient for the technicians, and managing staff can have full access to the machine status remotely with a mobile device.
