Sverdlovsk regional firm Signal-Pack has developed unique innovative equipment to make Russian dumplings and raviolis, Sverdlovsk Region Infrastructure Hub, supporting the project, reports.

The new equipment has been reportedly developed to order from as-yet-unnamed dumpling producers in Chelyabinsk.

According to Sverdlovsk Region Infrastructure Hub, foreign dumpling machines that use extrusion make dough quite tough and can't utilize 100% natural meat, resulting in a lower product quality.

The Urals machine is made of stainless steel and other food industry approved materials. It is simple to install and maintain. Production of dumplings and ravioli using “handmade” technology is the main know-how of the invention. The machine uses the same work principles as housewives do with a dough rolling pin. The equipment allows use of 100% natural meat and soft flour and makes thin tender dough.

Presently, the producer supplies its equipment to eight local food factories, and another 200 machines are shipped to other Russian regions, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.

Sverdlovsk Region Infrastructure Hub provides a full range of services to local innovators on a “one-stop-shop” principle.
