In March 2026, a TZ-120 chin chin cutting machine was shipped to a snack food factory in Russia. The customer needed a machine to cut chin chin dough into long strips measuring 20 × 4 × 4 mm. Before this order, the factory cut dough by hand. This process was slow, produced uneven sizes, and increased labor costs. The automatic chin chin cutter solved these problems by delivering fast, uniform cutting at 100–150 kg per hour.
Customer Background
The buyer is a small-to-medium snack food factory located in western Russia. The factory produces traditional baked and fried snacks for local retail stores and street vendors. The main product line is chin chin, a popular West African-style snack that is also consumed in parts of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The factory wanted to modernize its cutting step without expanding its workshop or switching to three-phase power.
What Did the Russian Customer Need from a Chin Chin Cutting Machine?
The customer had three clear needs:
- Consistent strip size. Each piece had to measure 20 × 4 × 4 mm. Hand cutting produced uneven strips that fried at different rates.
- Higher output. Manual cutting could not keep up with rising demand from local distributors.
- Single-phase power compatibility. The factory workshop had 220 V, 50 Hz, single-phase power only. Many industrial cutters require three-phase electricity, which the customer could not install.
The factory also needed a compact machine that could fit into its existing production room and move easily between workstations.
What Chin Chin Cutting Solution Did Taizy Provide?
We recommended the TZ-120 chin chin cutting machine. This model runs on 220 V, 50 Hz, single-phase power at 1.5 kW. It cuts dough into long strips with a capacity of 100–150 kg/h. The machine dimensions are 1500 × 560 × 1200 mm, and the weight is 180 kg. Its compact size and built-in mobility make it easy to position in small workshops.
The TZ-120 is built with food-grade stainless steel contact parts and a stable cutting frame. It handles soft and semi-firm dough without sticking or tearing. The cutting size can be adjusted to match customer recipes. For this Russian order, we configured the blades to produce the requested 20 × 4 × 4 mm long-strip shape.
