ANKO’s Semi-Automatic Burrito Forming Machine Design Helped Increased a US Company’s Productivity
The client has run the company offering Mexican food for over 25 years. They not only have privately-held restaurant chains, but also distribute more than 20 flavors of frozen burritos to supermarkets. However, when their burritos were getting popular, the production capacity of their current production lines could not meet the increasing demand. Then, they found that ANKO has developed burrito forming machine, so they came to Taiwan looking for a solution to increase productivity.

ANKO Team Research Problem Solving or Solution Delivery
Machine can form burrito perfectly.
When making burrito by hand, the employees make burritos based on their own experiences. Each person may scoop different amounts of stuffing, have different folding ways to form different sizes of burritos.
When making burrito by machine, every device on the machine is controlled by parameter values so that it is easy to produce standard burritos. On the other hand, once the values are set, any difference in wrapper size may cause defective products (as shown in the above photo). How do we make the machine form burrito perfectly? ……(Please contact us to get more information)

Burrito is one of tortilla based foods. Meat, beans, Mexican rice, lettuce, cheese are common fillings rolled in burrito and people usually eat it with guacamole or sour cream on top or as a dip.
Another Mexican food－taco－looks similar to burrito, but there are slight differences between them. Taco is like a sandwich, various fillings can be added and wrapped around with a smaller round and hard tortilla; on the contrary, burrito is fully rolled and folded with a larger and softer tortilla.
In Mexico and the United States, burrito is a very popular food and its taste varies in different regions. Nowadays, the on-the-go burrito can be tasted in many cities worldwide and some fast food restaurants also release burrito combo to satisfy customers' appetite.- Handmade Recipe
