The MDLV1200 is engineered to apply liquids in an even layer. At the heart of the system is our advanced Vision technology, which ensures accurate depositing, reduces material waste, and improves overall production efficiency.

FoodJet systems handle conditions where standard depositors struggle: high line speeds, materials with inclusions, and tight visual tolerances.

Choose the model by the width you need to cover: MDLV800 up to 800 mm, MDLV1000 up to 1000 mm, MDLV1200 up to 1200 mm, MDLV1400 up to 1400 mm and MDLV1600 up to 1600 mm. Wider lines are built to order.

Movable frame

The MDLV1200 is a movable C-frame that holds a row of depositing heads of one type. It contains the mass supply piping, pumps, buffer tank, and control cabinet. The frame can be docked onto an existing conveyor system or onto the floor. The entire frame is IP67, sanitary design with minimal cabling on the outside. It is built for demanding production and cleaning conditions. The entire liquid foodstuff circuit is CIP-able without any need for disassembly.

Flexible depositing

The depositing heads are directly positioned over the moving conveyors, so the liquid foodstuff can be accurately deposited on top of products being transported without the need to start/stop. Each individual head can deposit on its own section of the conveyor belt. Combining these ranges, a wide depositing range is formed that can cover all products anywhere on the total width of the conveyor belt. A camera system captures all individual contours of the products to be deposited and adapts the patterns accordingly, keeping the deposit volumes constant despite shape variations.

Highly accurate deposit volume

Volume control is done by means of servo-driven volumetric pumps. One pump is directly connected to one depositing head with a short flexible hose. The servo controller continuously calculates the pump’s required rotational position based on forward information of the patterns to be deposited. This way, the deposit volume is digitally controlled to your setting.
