According to statistics, the Empanada, a popular Latin American dish ranked eighth on the list of popular street foods in 2021. As nutrition and health awareness gradually become mainstream, 6% of vegan food vendors prioritize purchasing Empanadas made with nutritious grains such as corn and quinoa.

Currently, there are two types of Empanada machines on the market; one uses extrusion-type filling mechanism and the other utilizes a clamping mechanism. ANKO researched and developed our "EMP-900 Empanada Making Machine," combining the advantages of the two existing mechanisms, creating a machine that can make Empanadas with a high oil content dough, up to 75% water and oil mixture. It is adaptable to a wide variety of pastry dough, and the unique filling system can process minced beef, whole green peas, and corn kernels without the ingredients being crushed or smashed. These Empanadas are then deep-fried into a golden and crispy product with a light and airy texture just as they were handmade. This immediately created great market interest in ANKO’s machine upon its launch.

There are variety of Finger Food that are commonly served at parties, such as: spring rolls, Egg Roll both of are easy-to-pick up and eat without using utensils. Spring rolls are a popular snack food and a street food among customer because of their shapes, and the fact that they can be made either sweet or savory. Experts estimate that the global Frozen Spring Roll market size will reach USD 834.3 million in 2030.

ANKO "SR-27 Spring Roll Machine" is the first automated food machine that can process 100% vegetable fillings without texture enhancers. The types of filling it can handle include mixed vegetables filling, ground meat filling, viscous apple jam filling, and mixtures of meat and vegetable filling. The machine has various tightness mechanism to produce Spring Rolls that are made to be consumed fresh, deep-fried, or frozen, all with perfect texture and appearances. ANKO "ER-24 Egg Roll Production line" uses a repeated dough sheeting process to produce pastries that are 0.8-1.2mm thin, and the unique filling system ensures the final products are made perfectly without compromising the original texture of the filling ingredients.

Using manual or semi-automatic food production lines to produce frozen food faces many problems including inconsistency in the raw material and the quality, increasing labor costs, and it involves staff training that can be very time-consuming, all of which all add up to the food costs. ANKO’s fully automated food production lines provide the most comprehensive production solutions that begin with the pastry sheeting process, cutting, filling, and forming into final products. Additionally, ANKO’s Food Lab offers recipe optimization services, which can ensure products such as Empanadas, Spring Rolls and Egg Rolls are shelf-stable when frozen without freezer-burns and can be reheated to their original taste and textures.
