1. Quick Answer: Which CHINENG Dumpling Machine Do You Need?

If hand-folding cannot keep up with lunch rush or frozen-goods orders, do not buy by “how many seats you have.” Match peak pieces per hour, dumpling weight range, and whether you only need forming or also pan-frying.

Direct answer:

• Small shop / test kitchen (~1,500 pcs/h) → compact tabletop former CN-TS-JZ-P90 — see commercial dumpling machine

• Restaurant / central kitchen prep (~4,000–10,000 pcs/h) → flagship or smart handmade line (W130 / W180 / P200 series)

• High-volume plant / continuous bagging (~10,000–20,000 pcs/h) → automatic dumpling machine CN-160 / CN-210

• Guotie / pan-fried finish → add a pan-fried dumpling machine (single- or double-head); forming and frying are different jobs

CHINENG is factory-direct from Dongguan, China. Listed starting prices (machine only; excludes shipping, on-site service, and tax): about $421 pan-fry, $1,611 commercial dumpling former, $2,625 automatic line. Confirm the live quote before ordering.

2. Who These Machines Are Built For

CHINENG dumpling equipment suits:

• Chinese restaurants, dumpling houses, and chain outlets that portion every day

• Central kitchens and frozen dumpling / ready-meal producers

• Canteens and catering kitchens that batch-fill for steam or boil lines

• Export buyers who need 220V (and some 380V) factory-direct kit

You are in the right place if you want published pcs/hour, adjustable piece weight, and stainless construction from a single factory. Skip a forming machine if you only fry retail-bought frozen dumplings — buy a pan-fry unit alone. Skip a 20,000 pcs/h automatic if you only wrap evenings for one dining room.

3. Size by Pieces per Hour (Not Seat Count)

Undersized formers fail at peak wrap time, not on average daily sales. Use four steps:

1. Count peak-hour dumpling demand (dine-in + takeaway + freezer refill in the busiest hour)

2. Add buffer for rework, skin breaks, and filling changes (+20–30%)

3. Match published pieces/hour on the model sheet

4. Confirm the gram range covers your menu (e.g. 20–45 g vs 8–100 g)

3.1 Peak Volume vs Machine Class

Worked example: A dumpling shop sells ~2,500 pcs in the busiest lunch hour and also bags 500 for the freezer → 3,000 raw → ×1.25 buffer ≈ 3,750 pcs/h → a W130 (4,000 pcs/h) fits; a 1,500 pcs/h tabletop would bottleneck.

4. CHINENG Dumpling Machine Types

4.1 Type Comparison at a Glance

4.2 Commercial / Handmade Forming Line

The commercial dumpling machine page covers flagship handmade, smart handmade, and tabletop models. Typical power is low (about 0.6–0.9 kW on 220V), so they fit kitchens that already run standard single-phase outlets.

Choose this if you wrap fresh dough daily and need a conveyor-fed handmade-style fold. Skip it if you need continuous 15,000+ pcs/h plant output — step up to the automatic line.

4.3 Automatic High-Capacity Line

The automatic dumpling machine line targets continuous forming with a wide piece-weight window:

Choose this if freezer bags or multi-store prep need continuous throughput and heavier/lighter SKUs in one frame. Skip it if floor space is under ~1.3–2.2 m length and daily demand stays under ~5,000 pcs/h.

4.4 Pan-Fried Dumpling (Cook) Machines

A pan-fried dumpling machine cooks (and often injects water for steam-fry). It does not replace a wrapper. Pair it with a former when the menu is guotie / pan-fried buns.

5. Dough, Filling, and Dumpling Weight

• Weight window: Flagship handmade models publish 20–45 g; smart P200 opens to 8–100 g; automatic CN-160/210 publish 15–150 g. Match the SKU before you order molds/settings.

• Skin size: Tabletop CN-TS-JZ-P90 lists ~8.5 cm skins — confirm your recipe diameter.

• Filling: Very wet or chunky fillings may need process tweaks (drain, dice size). Ask CHINENG with a filling photo when you quote.

• Belt width: Handmade lines list ~150–160 mm conveyors — plan exit tray space.

6. Power, Footprint, and Stainless Grade

• Formers: mostly 220V, under 1 kW on handmade/smart lines; automatic CN-210 offers 220V/380V at 1750 W.

• Pan-fry: 3–7 kW on 220V — check breaker capacity separately from the former.

• Footprint: tabletop ~770×360 mm; flagship ~1.5–1.85 m long; CN-210 ~2.2 m long.

• Material: several WX / PS variants specify 304 stainless; others list stainless / 201 on cook plates — ask for the grade on the order sheet if food-contact 304 is required.

• Price note: catalog prices exclude shipping, on-site service, and tax.

7. Forming vs Cooking: When You Also Need Pan-Fry

8. Decision Tree

• ~1,500 pcs/h, tiny counter → CN-TS-JZ-P90

• ~4,000 pcs/h, 20–45 g classic dumpling → W130 / WX130

• ~8,000 pcs/h same weight band → W180 / WX180

• ~10,000 pcs/h, wider 8–100 g range → P200 / PS200

• ~10,000–20,000 pcs/h, 15–150 g, plant layout → CN-160 / CN-210

• Menu is pan-fried → add CN-DTJJJ-JL or double-head / PYJ series

9. Application Examples

• Neighborhood dumpling house: W130 former for lunch wrap + steamer; outcome: one operator replaces a fold team at peak.

• Central kitchen for three outlets: P200 or CN-160 for bagged raw dumplings; outcome: shared prep, store-level cook only.

• Guotie specialist: W130 + double-head pan-fry; outcome: wrap ahead, fry to order without plate bottleneck.

10.3 How do I calculate pieces per hour?

Take the busiest hour’s dumpling demand (dine-in + takeaway + freezer refill) → add 20–30% buffer → compare to published pcs/h on the model. See section 3.

10.4 Can one machine make different weights?

Yes within the published range (e.g. 20–45 g on W130, 8–100 g on P200, 15–150 g on CN-160/210). Outside that range, ask about setup or another model.

10.5 Do I need 380V?
