Case Study: How FITRAFOOD Improved Shumai Production Efficiency with a Semi-Automatic Meat Shumai Machine

Customer Background & Challenges

FITRAFOOD is a growing food processing company in Indonesia, specializing in frozen and ready-to-cook dim sum products for the local retail and foodservice markets. Among their key products, meat shumai represents a high-volume, high-demand item that requires consistent shape, filling weight, and hygiene standards.

As demand increased, FITRAFOOD faced several operational challenges:

• Heavy reliance on manual filling and forming, leading to inconsistent product weight and appearance
• Rising labor costs and difficulty in recruiting skilled workers
• Limited daily output, restricting their ability to scale orders
• High product loss caused by uneven filling and rework

FITRAFOOD needed a solution that could increase efficiency without fully replacing manual flexibility, while remaining cost-effective and easy to operate.

Solution: Semi-Automatic Shumai Machine for Meat Filling

After evaluating FITRAFOOD’s production scale, product specifications, and budget expectations, we recommended our semi-automatic shumai machine, designed specifically for meat fillings.

Why This Was the Best Choice

Precise meat filling control ensures uniform weight and shape

Semi-automatic operation keeps manual flexibility while significantly reducing labor intensity

Food-grade stainless steel construction meets hygiene and safety standards

Compact design suitable for existing production rooms

Ideal for medium-capacity producers transitioning from manual to automated processing

This solution provided the best balance between automation, cost, and production flexibility, making it well-suited for FITRAFOOD’s current growth stage.

Implementation Process

The cooperation process was smooth and efficient:

Pre-sales consultation to confirm product size, filling type, and target output

Machine configuration customized for meat-based shumai

Clear installation guidance

Fast commissioning, allowing production to resume quickly

Thanks to standardized design and clear communication, the machine was installed and operational in a short time, with minimal disruption to existing workflows.

Results & Performance Data

After implementation, FITRAFOOD achieved measurable improvements:

Production efficiency increased by approximately 60%

Labor costs reduced by around 40%, with fewer workers required per shift

The product loss rate decreased by about 30% due to consistent filling and forming

Improved product uniformity, enhancing brand presentation and customer satisfaction

These results allowed FITRAFOOD to handle larger orders more confidently while maintaining stable quality.
