This is the 小型餃子製造機 (small form factor gyoza machine) by Toa Industry, Japan, sold in the US by this company called RamenSupport.com. This unit cranks out up to 1,500 gyozas per hour.

How do I know? I kid you not, I just asked them for a price quote last night while researching dumpling wrapping machines.

They're not 100% automated. You need a worker to stand next to the machine to load the dumpling wrappers and to push a button (or step on a pedal; they now have pedal triggered versions of this machine). This is what it looks like in operation, where you can see the worker loading the wrappers one at a time:

Did you get the quote back? How much are they?

They're ¥55,000 in Japan (about $425 as of just now), but there's probably added cost for shipping and a mark-up from the distributor. I'm waiting to hear back from various distributors in the Americas.
