Batter depositing

The first thing batter has to do is land the same way every time. FoodJet systems dose batter in a controlled, repeatable way, so each product gets the same amount and the result stays even across a long production run. The dosing is set in software, not in fixed tooling, which is what keeps it consistent.

Sometimes an even deposit is not what you want. You may need a bit more batter in one area of the product and a bit less in another. FoodJet gives you that control: the amount is defined per zone in the product recipe, so you decide exactly where the batter goes and how much. That flexibility is built into the deposit pattern, not bolted on afterwards.

Because the precision lives in vision and software, the same depositor handles very different lines. It doses waffle batter straight into the cavities of a waffle iron, and it spreads pancake batter across a steel band. Any shape and any size is possible. Switching between products is a recipe upload rather than a mechanical change-over.

Every FoodJet system is configured to your line, so no two are identical. A batter-depositing setup is matched to your batter, your product and your throughput, as a standalone unit or integrated into your existing line. The table below shows what a typical batter application looks like.
