Portugal 2020, for the internationalization of 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.

Machine à pâte Eddiol

Making samosas is a big job, it is a tedious process that takes a lot of time. Nowadays, when we want everything to be fast, we have automated almost everything, whether it is our chat apps or our cars. Now it’s time to speed up our food manufacturing process as well : So which samosa folding machine is right for you?

6 advantages of a samosas making machine

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)!

#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.

How Everything Started

Mr. Edgard Poulain, the businessman with more than 20 years of experience, specialized in the business of manufacturing machinery for the food industry. More specifically machines to produce samosas.

It all started with the idea of wanting to produce samosas fast and with great quality, saving time and money.

The machines produce samosa flakes of 17 to 22 grams, depending on the consistency of the filling. The process of processing the fillings, how to prepare them and cook using strict food hygiene methods, ensures a consistent quality of this pleasant food product.

The dough used can be purchased or manufactured by our pre-cooked and laminated dough making machine.

Eddiol emerges creating a real tradition with regard to the making of fine pastries and automation of the samosa-folding process. The guarantee of quality and productivity rests on the solid system of automation, that is inherent in the technology sector and on which the manufacture of samosas relies.

The only machine in the world that maintains traditional folding, while doing it automatically with topping and filling.

We have been producing equipment for the agro alimentary industry since 1987, and have been awarded the Technologic Research Award in 1992 by the GIA/SIAL International food salon. The equipments meet standard European requirements and are produced in France. Our customers: large agro-food manufacturing corporations, can now produce samoussas in large scale, complementing other exotic products such as nem, accras, etc. These samossas making machines are used all over the world, mainly by the Indian diaspora as it makes samoussas so authentic. We ensure maintenance of our equipments and training of your staff. Our technicians are at your disposal to help you choose your equipment and its installation.” – Mr. Edgard Poulain
