Surface filling is the technique of covering the entire surface of a product with an even layer of a liquid food such as sauce, butter or batter, while keeping a defined sauce-free edge. Vision technology recognises the shape of every product on the conveyor, so the material lands on the product and not around it, even on irregular or randomly placed products. When you change product shapes you upload the matching recipe and keep running, with no mechanical change-overs.
Fill or cover the entire surface of your product with the depositors of FoodJet and improve the efficiency of your production line. The vision technology reduces waste of material and lets you run at high production speeds while keeping a clean, even visual result. Every depositor for surface filling or surface covering is built around your product and your material.
Do you want to fill the entire surface of your product? FoodJet systems are designed to apply material in an even layer where other depositors fall short:
Producing irregular or unusual shapes is no problem. The FoodJet vision system finds and detects any shape, and the depositor covers the surface exactly as you want it. You define the sauce-free edge once and save it in the product recipe. The FoodJet Free Form Pattern Generator software then keeps the material off the edge. When you change product shapes you simply upload the matching recipe, with no mechanical change-overs.
FoodJet depositors come in two frame types, and the right one depends on your process and production line:
See surface filling applied to real products. Each one uses the same vision-guided approach, tuned to a different product and material.

Want to raise line speed and give your product an even layer with a clean edge? Tell us about your product and your line. We test your own product first, so you see the even layer and the clean edge before you decide, and from that test we advise on the right setup and next steps.
