How a FoodJet feasibility trial works, what you send us, and what you get back on your own product.
A depositor only earns its place if it performs on your product, at your line speed. Before you commit, FoodJet runs a feasibility trial with your actual product on the right depositor and measures the result: weight, pattern and position. You decide on results from your own product, not a showcase. This page explains how a trial works and what you get from it.
A depositor only earns its place if it performs on your product, at your line speed. A trial removes that uncertainty before you invest. You see the deposit accuracy, the pattern and the changeover on your own recipe, measured rather than promised, so the decision rests on results from your own product instead of a standard demonstration.
A FoodJet trial runs in three steps:
Trials are carried out by our test team at the test centre in Wijchen (Bijsterhuizen), where FoodJet also runs customer factory acceptance tests. You can usually schedule a trial within four to six weeks. The trial itself takes more or less time depending on the material, your requirements and how much investigation it needs.
A clear result on your own product: measured weight, pattern and position, the right machine configuration for your application, and a realistic view of throughput. Enough to make the investment decision with confidence, based on evidence rather than estimates.
FoodJet depositing systems run on 250+ production lines worldwide, from Norway to Argentina and from the United States to Japan. The trial is how that experience is applied to your specific product and line.
Clients often send us materials they cannot apply with their existing depositors. This is what happened with a caramel and a chocolate sauce. More info here
