Portugal 2020, for the internationalization of Eddiol

Posted on by eddiol
What’s Portugal 2020 ?
PORTUGAL 2020

It’s very simple, we explain in a few words: It is an agreement adopted between Portugal and the Commission, which combines the performance of the five European Structural Funds and Investment : 

  • European Regional Development Fund
  • Cohesion Fund
  • European Social Fund
  • European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development
  • European Maritime Transport Fund Affairs and Fisheries 

These funds define the principles of the economic, social and territorial development policy to be promoted in Portugal between 2014 and 2020.

The objective

Smart, sustainable and inclusive growth

The funding provided by Portugal 2020 is expected to help strengthen Portugal’s competitiveness in global markets. Eddiol, a Portuguese SME, was among the innovative projects selected by Portugal 2020 to benefit from sustainable and inclusive growth.

Thus, Eddiol is part of the Competitiveness and Internationalization category, one of the 4 major priorities of Portugal.

These 4 themes are :

  • Competitiveness and internationalization
  • Social inclusion and employment
  • Human capital
  • Sustainability and efficiency in the use of resources

Within this framework, Portugal receives during this period, 25 billion euros. These funds will be allocated in each of the 16 operational, thematic and regional programs.

Portugal 2020, with this aid, accompanies us in the project of Internationalization of Eddiol-Specialdimension.

Through this project and the investments made, the objective is to reach an export rate of 83% of the turnover by the end of 2022.

Cofinanciado por Portugal2020

You understand it as we do, the deadline is approaching fast. We are grateful for the support we have received over the past two years, which has allowed us to move forward in our projects and product development.

Eddiol has also had the opportunity to participate in renowned food trade shows in Chicago and Dubai, events that have allowed us to meet new customers, exchange on the innovations of the moment and on our beautiful sector that is the industrial snacking.

Today, Eddiol is present in several countries around the world, from England to the United Arab Emirates and Canada.

The perfect stuffing for your samosa making machine

Posted on by eddiol

This filling, soft or crunchy, defines the signature of your samosa. Made by you, with your own personal touch, there are as many different fillings as there are people on this earth. In this article, we give you some tips for the perfect filling for your samosa making machine.

 

However, our samosas folding machines don’t work with all kinds of fillings. Well, in theory it does, but your stuffing must meet certain criterias so that it doesn’t get stuck in the machine. 

Here are some tips on how to make your filling suitable for the samosas making machine :

Farce Filling
Farce Cup
Farce transfert
Farce Dosing
Here are some tips for cooking your filling, adapted to the operation of the samosas making machines:

Most of the time, the filling is made of potatoes, peas, onions and spices. Use your imagination and make delicious chicken, beef or even tuna samosas! Add some vegetables and spices and enjoy !

Our automatic samosas machines accept your filling, whether it is cooked or raw. Just be sure to follow these three guidelines :

  • Meat ingredients can be cooked or uncooked, vegetables can be integrated fresh, the dosing system can accept a particle size of no more than 5 to 6 mm for all ingredients.
  • In order to facilitate its flow into the dosing system the filling mixture should not be too wet or too greasy. It is important that the filling “holds” and “clings” to the dough.

If you respect these two points, you can cook the stuffing of your choice. We know the classics but we expect you to be innovative and creative with new recipes : Let’s share our recipes together !

Did you know?

Uneven filling of samosas gives a bad appearance. It is necessary to fill the samosas evenly with the filling so that it does not come out on one side or the other when folding or baking.

The amount of filling you put in also depends on the size of the dough sheet of your samosas.

Cleaning your samosa machine is quick and easy !

Posted on by eddiol

What can we say about these machines other than their ease of use and versatility? Our main goal was to make them suitable for all snacking industries and production lines to suit you, no matter how you work.

Cleaning your samosa folding machine is often a scary step, but it’s not rocket science! All you need is a little care to ensure the safe, long-term use of your machine. It will also give you a better quality product!

Let’s get down to business, there’s not much to explain about cleaning a samosa folding machine, it’s pretty simple. We promised you a quick cleaning and easy maintenance, it’s done! Here are the few things you have to do after each use:

First important and reassuring point (for you!), no matter which machine you choose, its small size makes it easily transportable for cleaning.

Previous
Next

3 areas of the machine have to be cleaned :

#1 The glue circuit

We are talking here about the pump and the solenoid valve.

  • Empty the glue tank and clean it thoroughly
  • Fill the tank with clear water
  • The cleaning of the glue circuit can be done by using the key 8 of the PLC and 2 liters of clear water
  • Repeat the operation a second time to make sure that the circuit is well cleaned
  • Leave clean water in the circuit so that the system is always wet

 

We advise you to provide a container to collect the cleaning water.

 

 #2 The stuffing circuit (Robot B & C) 
  • Remove all the knurled nuts from the removable parts, place them in a washing container so that they do not get lost
  • Remove the bowl with the auger support and collect the remaining stuffing

 

#3 Folding tray and machine box
  • Use water with a bactericidal product, rinse well with clear water.
  • ATTENTION, you must first cut off the electrical supply to the machine (CONTACT + 110/220V SOCKET)
  • Cut off the compressed air supply
  • You can now wash the machine with bactericidal products before reassembling all the parts.

Connect a gun to the compressed air hose and blow the water out of the machine.

And that’s it! It’s done, and it took you about 20 minutes maximum! This step should be done after each use to keep your machine in good condition.

As for the installation of your robot, it can be done by your own technicians. It is nevertheless preferable to foresee an assistance of Eddiol SpecialDimension technicians in order to train your team to the use and the adjustment of the machine.

6 advantages of a samosas making machine

Posted on by eddiol

The traditional folding of the samosa is essential, we agree! But this traditional folding is not only found in the long and tiring manual shaping. Eddiol has invested a lot of time in the research and development of its automatic industrial machines in order to respect not only the traditional aspect of the samosa but also to reduce many constraints that this small snacking triangle imposes.

 

Today, you will understand why our samosa folding machines revolutionize the way you work. Are you ready ?

#1 Multiply your hourly output by 3

 

No surprise, a machine is faster than manual work. Automated samosa folding machines give you continuous, fast and accurate production. Industrial equipment that can dramatically increase your productivity up to 600 samosas per hour, ALL YEAR LONG!

Discover here the Robot C, able to produce 600 samosas per hour thanks to its automations :

  •  Dough transfer
  • Stuffing deposit
  • Ejection of the finished product
  • Folding in 3 or 4 successive folds
  • Glue point

#2 ONLY 1 operator needed to manage 1 to 2 machines

Your profitability is (almost) immediate. 

For the production of samosas, you only need one operator to keep 1 to 2 samosa folding machines running smoothly. He is also there to refill the filling bowl, the pasta strips and the glue. 

This operator, once the machines are launched, can take care of another mission as long as he watches from afar the good functioning of the robot(s)!

advantages d'une machine à samosas

#3 Perfect, traditional and identical samosas

One of the advantages of the automation of our industrial robots is the regularity. 

These machines guarantee you uniform samosas, without holes in the corners, of the same weight and size with the same amount of filling inside. In conclusion, you are able to offer quality samosas to your customers by providing a less strenuous work for your body and your mind. 

#4 our stuffing, in ALL its forms

The filling is a crucial aspect in the realization of this famous samosas. Cooked, raw, vegetables, meat, too thick, too thin….

Good news! Our robots now accept all types of fillings. The only point to respect is the size of the pieces, which must be able to pass through the stuffing dispenser without getting stuck inside.

#5 Simple maintenance: 20 minutes on the clock !

If you want to keep your equipment functional for as long as possible, cleaning and maintenance are essential.

 

Stay calm, whatever the robot you have at home, it requires a simple cleaning after use :

 

  • Dismantling the machine’s stations (simple unscrewing)
  • Cleaning the whole machine with a jet
  • Separate cleaning of the glue and stuffing station to remove glue and stuffing residues. Do not leave these stations to dry for several days before cleaning them, otherwise you risk damaging the tubes.

 

 

#6 Responsive customer service at your service

We have a common goal: Increase your performance by improving your productivity. We’re here to listen to you every day to answer your questions and help you learn the machine.

Moreover, tutorials are coming soon to facilitate your experience…

Nutritional Analysis of Vegetable Samosas

Posted on by eddiol

Some of the world’s most flavorful and exotic spices are used in Indian cuisine with colorful and quite tasty dishes. Vegetable samosas are an example of this, an Indian appetizer that balances the level of calories and fat within healthy standards.

Nutritional information

A vegetable samosa weighing approximately 40 g contains about 80 calories, 11 g of carbohydrates, 3 g of fat, 2 g of protein, 1 g of fiber and 1 g of sugar. It should be noted that it is the ingredients contained in samosa that determine its nutritional content, and vegetarian samosas are not all made the same way. A samosa with butter, stuffed with potatoes and fried in oil, will be richer in fat, carbohydrates and calories than one based on thin puff pastry or peas and carrots stuffed with low calorie and cooked wonton.

Advantages to health

The choice of vegetable samosas, instead of sweet meat, will reduce the intake of saturated fats and calories and will provide more vitamins and minerals. According to several studies, and as is well known, increasing the amount of vegetables you eat can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cancer, heart problems, stroke, hypertension, bone loss, diabetes, kidney stones and hypercholesterolemia. In addition, you will have a good dose of fiber by eating vegetables, which can improve the health of your digestive system and help you lose weight or simply maintain it.

Nutritional Disadvantages

Samosas should never be taken as a healthy food. Despite the nutritional benefits offered by vegetables, a vegetarian samosa made with lots of butter or oil can be high in cholesterol and saturated fats. Samosas fried, even in a light recipe, each samosa of about 5 cm (2 inches) contains 160 calories and more than 5 grams of fat. The largest samosas sold in restaurants and cafes could have even higher values, plus more sodium and cholesterol.

Considerations

A vegetable samosa may be a relatively nutritious snack, but only if it is low in fat, sodium and cholesterol. If you have the opportunity, confirm the nutritional information of a samosa before you buy it. If not, make your own samosas. This will allow you to control the number of calories and nutritional value. More importantly, learning how to use a variety of vegetables, fruits and other healthy foods to meet your nutritional needs instead of trying to get all of your essential nutrients through prepared foods such as samosas is always a big plus.

Samoussa, samosa or sambos

Posted on by eddiol

and its competition around the world:
BRIK / EMPADINHA / BRIOUATS / BOUREK / SAMBUSAK / BUREEK / PIROHY / PIEROGI / PATEURI / PLACINTA / SALTENA / EMPANADAS / PASTELS / ESFIRA / SAMSA …

Samosas come from northern India and central Asia, and are known all the way to Ouzbekistan. These little pastries have traveled across all the oriental shores of the Indian ocean, and then across the whole world with the emigration of Indian workers that started in the 19th century. The shape of the pastry is triangular, and wrapped in a thin wheat paste that contains a meat and vegetable stuffing, with peppers and spices. As far as taste is concerned, it has been modified to fit into the local culinary habits.
It is such a sublime pleasure when you are struck by hunger, to enjoy a delightful samosas soft on the inside, crispy on the outside. It will highlight your buffets, and spark your appetizer plates. As soon as you put it into your mouth, you will recognize its flavour as an invitation to travel. Its culinary harmony will create a passionate desire in you and you’ll soon become addicted to samosas.

To design a good SAMOSA

The thin dough must have good resistance to tear, to ambient drying, during determination of farce, and frying flexibility give a good crisp, durable and without oil retention.
Implementation of the samosa is almost to haute couture, triangular, shaped by four successive folds, from a strip of dough, coat texture air pranks salted or sweetened, to become sublime stuffed triangles.
