Machine Trial

Have Inquiries about ANKO’s Equipment and Its Performances? We Welcome you to Schedule for a Machine Trial Testing with Us!

Before investing in any food machinery and equipment, you may question “Are ANKO’s machines suitable for our products? Will the recipes perform well under automation? Is the equipment hard to operate? Which other food factories or restaurants are using their machines? What other products can we produce with the same equipment? Or, will ANKO provide professional consultation and production planning advice?” Don’t worry, the answers will be included in the trial experience.

Our goal for Machine Trial Testing is to give “simulated production run”, “Troubleshooting”, build “Trust and Satisfaction”. Our team of consultants and engineers will support you to work toward a successful transition from manual to automated food production, as well as achieve the expected capacity, quality, safety, hygiene, and most important of all, the authentic flavors of the products. The trial is designed to be a one-stop-shop, which could test run recipes, verify problems and troubleshoot during the same visit. Moreover, there’s an in-house food lab built for various other food-related testing, such as boiling, steaming, cooking, or freezing, to increase the accuracy of the test results.

ANKO has over 46 years of industry advisory experience, and have developed more than 300 different types of products, the recipes include authentic Chinese, Indian, Latin American, Middle Eastern, Eastern European cuisines, etc., spanning across the global ethnic food market. Throughout the years, ANKO has had the opportunity to cooperate with business partners of various scales and from different sectors, allowing us to have access to an array of software, hardware and the ability to compare each machine’s uniqueness and advantages, which can enables us to work out more flexible procurement proposals that are also cost-effective.

Simulating Actual Production Process, ANKO’s Team offers Full Service

Before scheduling for a trial testing, ANKO’s consultants will first have an in-depth understanding and evaluation of the current product production status, and your procurement requirements; then, according to the product specifications and expected capacity, we will arrange suitable machine models for the production trial testing.
