Case Study: How FITRAFOOD Scaled Shumai Production with a Fully Automatic 1-to-3 Production Line

Client Background & Challenges

FITRAFOOD is an established food processing company in Indonesia, supplying frozen and ready-to-cook dumpling products—including shumai (siomai/Meat dumplings)—to local distributors, foodservice channels, and retail partners.

As market demand continued to grow, FITRAFOOD faced several operational challenges:

• Insufficient output capacity from semi-automatic equipment
• High labor dependency, especially during peak production periods
• Inconsistent product weight and appearance, affecting brand consistency
• Rising labor and operational costs, reducing overall margins

FITRAFOOD needed a solution that could significantly increase output, while maintaining stable product quality and controllable operating costs.

The Solution: Fully Automatic Shumai 1-to-3 Production Line

After a detailed technical discussion and production analysis, we recommended our Fully Automatic Shumai 1-to-3 Production Line.

Why This Solution Was the Best Fit

• 1-to-3 forming system: One feeding system simultaneously produces three shumai pieces per cycle, dramatically increasing throughput
• Fully automatic operation: Dough feeding, filling, forming, and conveying are integrated into one continuous process
• High consistency: Precise weight control ensures uniform size, shape, and filling ratio
• Food-grade stainless steel structure: Easy cleaning, compliant with food safety standards
• Flexible settings: Adjustable parameters for different shumai sizes and recipes

This configuration matched FITRAFOOD’s requirements for high-volume, standardized, and scalable production.

Implementation Process: Professional & Efficient Execution

Our technical team worked closely with FITRAFOOD throughout the implementation:

• Pre-installation layout planning based on factory space
• On-site installation and commissioning
• Trial production to fine-tune parameters for local recipes

The entire process was completed efficiently and smoothly, enabling FITRAFOOD to enter stable mass production in a short timeframe.

Results & Performance Data

After the production line was fully commissioned, FITRAFOOD achieved measurable improvements:

• Production efficiency increased by approx 200%
• Labor costs reduced by over 50%, with fewer operators required per shift
• Product loss rate decreased by around 30% due to stable forming and portion control
• Consistent product appearance, strengthening brand image, and customer confidence

The new line allowed FITRAFOOD to handle larger orders while keeping operating costs under control.
