Step 1 - Spoon test. You send a 5 kg/L sample of your product. We assess how your product behaves during dosing and confirm feasibility.
Step 2 - Machine test. We run your product on the right depositor and measure weight, pattern and position. Sample volume: 25 kg warm materials, 50 kg cold materials.
Step 3 - Trial with you present (optional). You attend the trial on site and see your product run live. Same volumes: 25 kg warm, 50 kg cold.
Trials are carried out by our test team at the test centre in Wijchen (Bijsterhuizen), where FoodJet also runs customer FATs. You can usually schedule a trial within four to six weeks. The trial duration itself depends on the material, your requirements and how much investigation the test needs.
