Graphical decoration is the technique of depositing a pattern, design or logo onto a product with a material such as tempered chocolate, fat compound or RudinJet edible paste. You create the design in software, and an array of individually controlled nozzles applies it onto each product. Vision technology recognises every product on the conveyor, so the design lands correctly even on misaligned or randomly placed items, and you switch designs by loading a recipe, with no mechanical change-overs.
Add a visual signature to your products without changing the base product or your production line. FoodJet depositors place chocolate, compound or edible paste in patterns you set in software, so you can produce seasonal, branded or customer-specific products on the same equipment.
A 70-second animation: vision reads the position and rotation of every biscuit, so the design lands on each product, turned with it, with hardly any chocolate on the belt.
Design the image or pattern in the FoodJet software and load it onto the depositing system. The rows of depositing heads are activated individually and apply the material to match the design, so the pattern is deposited onto the product. You can create and store a wide range of designs and switch between them by loading the matching recipe.
Products are rarely perfectly aligned on the conveyor. The FoodJet vision system detects the position and shape of each product, so the decoration lands where you want it, even on misaligned or randomly placed items, without aligning the products first.
Each product-and-design combination is stored in the software. To switch from one product or design to another you load the recipe and keep running. The precision lives in the software, so operators do not make mechanical changes between products.
FoodJet depositors come in two frame types, and the right one depends on your process and production line:
See graphical decoration applied to real products. Each one uses the same vision-guided, software-driven approach, tuned to a different product and material.
Drizzles and patterns, even when donuts rotate
On target, also when cakes sit off-centre
