Professional Automated Shaomai Production for High-Volume Operations

The OC-866 Fully Automatic Steam Shaomai and Dry-Steamed Forming Machine delivers complete automation from dough preparation to finished product in a single continuous cycle. Engineered with food-grade stainless steel construction and advanced photoelectric speed control, this dual-row production system produces traditional Chinese dim sum with consistent quality and exceptional throughput, eliminating the need for manual dough belt preparation.
How It Works
The OC-866 revolutionizes shaomai production with its fully integrated one-cycle automation. Simply place prepared dough and filling into designated entrances, and the machine automatically creates the dough belt, flattens and stretches it, cuts precise portions, adds filling, shapes the product, and delivers finished shaomai to the conveyor belt. The specialized photoelectric speed control system precisely manages dough belt stopping and conveying speeds, ensuring consistent wrapper thickness and filling distribution. The dual-row configuration produces two rows of finished shaomai simultaneously, doubling output while maintaining uniform quality across all products.
Key Features
- Complete One-Cycle Automation: Eliminates manual dough belt preparation—automatically creates belt, flattens, stretches, cuts, fills, shapes, and conveys in a single continuous process
- Photoelectric Speed Control: Advanced control system precisely manages dough belt movement and conveying speed for consistent wrapper quality and filling accuracy
- Dual-Row Production: Produces two rows of finished shaomai simultaneously for doubled capacity and exceptional efficiency
- Precise Product Specifications: Handles 38-44% moisture content wrappers (12g ±0.5g), producing 50g (±1g) or 60g (±1g) finished products with consistent quality
- Easy Maintenance Design: Convenient operation, cleaning, assembly, and maintenance with high-output performance and food-grade construction
Applications
Ideal for high-volume dim sum restaurants, frozen food manufacturers, commercial kitchens, and Asian cuisine production facilities specializing in traditional Chinese steamed dumplings. Perfect for operations producing shaomai (shumai), dry-steamed dumplings (gan zheng shaomai), and similar pleated dumpling products requiring consistent wrapper thickness, precise filling portions, and authentic appearance. Suitable for both fresh service and frozen product lines.

FAQ
What types of products can this shaomai machine produce?
The OC-866 is designed for shaomai (shumai) and dry steamed dumplings, including fresh and frozen versions, with consistent size and shape.
Is this machine suitable for frozen food factories?
Yes. The machine is widely used in frozen food production lines, offering stable forming performance compatible with downstream freezing and packaging processes.
What is the production capacity of the dual row system?
The dual-row design significantly improves output compared to single-row machines. Actual capacity depends on product size and filling type, but it is ideal for medium to large-scale factories.
How difficult is it to operate the shaomai forming machine?
Operation is straightforward. After basic training, one operator can easily manage the machine, reducing reliance on skilled manual labor.
What about maintenance and machine lifespan?
With proper use, the machine typically lasts 8–15 years. For the first 3–5 years, maintenance requirements are minimal, mainly routine cleaning and inspection.
