Small Dosing Machine
SKU: HY-DISP-ROBOT-006
Cabinet-style compact dosing terminal: scan or tap to order, the machine dispenses by recipe and prints an order number. Under 0.6 ㎡ footprint, plug-and-play on 220 V, suited to noodle shops, fast-food counters, canteen windows and convenience-store fresh-food stands.
Small Dosing Machine: fits a whole "prep room" into a single vertical cabinet
Not every store can set aside a separate prep room. The Small Dosing Machine turns portioning into a single cabinet:it takes up less than 0.6 ㎡, plugs in and works, and after QR-code or touchscreen ordering it dispenses ingredients automatically by recipe— customers take their bowls from the serving window, the printer prints the order number ticket, and one person can run a whole counter.
It solves the three most practical problems in a small-format store:new staff do not have to memorise recipes, peak hours no longer need a queue waiting for dispensing, and the amount dispensed per portion is not left to guesswork.
One machine, four actions
① Ordering
Customers scan the QR code on the screen, or select dishes directly on the 21.5-inch touchscreen; the store POS or mini-programme can also be connected for ordering.
② Dispensing
The system dispenses lane by lane according to the recipe for each dish, with liquids, powders and granules controlled in separate hoppers, keeping per-lane error within ±2 g.
③ Collection
The stainless steel serving window offers 380×300×280 mm of clear space, so noodle bowls, meal boxes and small portions can be placed and taken directly.
④ Numbering
A built-in 58 mm thermal printer automatically prints the order receipt and the order number ticket, so there is no need to call out numbers at peak.

| Installation conditions | Standard 220 V socket, 0.6 ㎡ of floor space, push it into position and it works | Requires a prep room with fixed water and power; installed to the production line layout |
| Operating method | Customers order by themselves + staff replenish ingredients | The operator works through the task list in batches |
| Core value | Saves labour, saves space, consistent taste | Large-scale standardisation, cost per portion can be calculated |
Which stores suit it
- Noodle and rice-noodle shops: broth, soy sauce, chilli oil, chopped spring onion and pickled long beans are dosed lane by lane — the same standard in every bowl.
- Fast-food / rice-bowl shops: sauces and dressings are dispensed by portion, so the serving staff no longer need to remember the gram weights.
- Canteen counters: self-service collection during the morning peak — one machine covers one dispensing position.
- Convenience store fresh-food counters: precise portions of broth and toppings for oden, mixed noodles and rice balls.
- Chain stores: recipes issued by head office, executed consistently in every store — the same taste even when staff change.
Four things to confirm before selection
- Menu structure: how many liquids, how many powders and how many granulars in total, which determines the number of hopper lanes and the capacity per hopper.
- Portion size: whether each dispensing is a few grams to tens of grams, or over a hundred grams, which determines the pump type and the dosing outlet size.
- Refill frequency: the average number of cups/bowls per day determines how often ingredients are refilled, which directly affects the choice of hopper capacity.
- Site conditions: the width and depth of the placement position, socket location, and whether water and drainage connections are needed.
Send the four points above to our project contact and you will receive a specification sheet with hopper configuration, serving window dimensions and placement recommendations.Specifications on this page are reference values; the confirmed specification sheet and the contract shall prevail.
Frequently asked questions
Can the hoppers be changed to match my menu?
Yes. The standard is 6 lanes. The ratio of liquids to powders, the capacity per hopper and the dosing outlet size are all adjusted to the menu structure, and it can be expanded to up to 10 lanes.
Is cleaning a hassle?
The hoppers and piping are both removable structures, and the stainless steel lining of the serving window can be pulled out as a whole and rinsed. Oil-based sauces are recommended to be cleaned once daily at closing, and clear soups once every 2–3 days.
Does it work without a network connection?
Yes. Recipes are stored on the machine, so touchscreen ordering and dispensing still work when the network is down; when connected, recipes and sales records are synchronised for centralised management at head office.
Can it integrate with our existing POS system?
Integration with the store POS and mini-programme is supported through standard interfaces; the specific protocol is confirmed by both technical teams during the project confirmation stage.
