Industrial production of sushi

At the mixing step, you can add preservatives to rice. Using the correct package and storage temperature — the expiration date of ready sushi can be increased to 10 days without freezing and with no loss of taste or flavor profile. When buying the equipment, we can give you technical support and share the successful experiences of our clients.

2) Cooking sushi:

Industrial cooking of sushi maki rolls

Among our clients, there are factories with a productivity ranging from 2 to 30-40 thousand rolls per day. The optimum equipment is selected based on: necessary productivity, number of roll types, budget, and prospects of expansion. There is no universal recipe, but there are tested successful solutions.

2-A1) Making rice mats and wrapping maki rolls (scheme 1+4)

Industrial production of sushi maki rolls by AUTEC sushi robots

1. Forming of rice mats with ASM865 robots
Capacity: 450-700 mats/hour
Personnel: 1 operator
Power supply: 1 phase 220V/50Hz

2. Wrapping of maki rolls using rice mats
Capacity: 450-700 rolls/hour
Personnel: 3-4 cooks

This scheme allows for the making of a large number of identical rolls, reducing manual work and reducing costs by not using expensive full-function maki robots. When greater productivity is needed, the scheme is scaled.

2-A2) Automatic making of sushi rolls

Industrial production of sushi maki rolls by AUTEC sushi robots

1. Making rolls with ASM880 robots
Capacity: 200-450 rolls/hour
Personnel: 1 operator
Power supply: 1 phase 220V/50Hz

This scheme allows for the making of a large number of identical rolls and almost completely removes the manual work. In the presence of rolls of different diameter, it would be optimal to have robots for each roll diameter.

When greater productivity is needed, you can install additional ASM880 robots.

2-B) Cutting of sushi maki rolls

Industrial cutting of sushi maki rolls by sushi robots and AUTEC cutters


1. Cutting of rolls by autonomous ASM230 cutter
