FoodJet

Cream depositing

FoodJet's cream depositor applies an even layer of cream across the full surface of cakes and sheet cakes, at line speeds up to 15 m/min per lane. Vision technology recognises the shape and position of every product on the conveyor, so the depositor covers each cake evenly, edge to edge, without product alignment.

An even layer of cream, edge to edge

The question with cream is always the same: can you apply it in a layer that stays even across the whole product? FoodJet systems are built to do exactly that. The depositor places cream across the full surface in a controlled, even layer, so every cake leaves the line looking the same, without thick spots or bare edges.

No product alignment needed

Cakes and sheet cakes are not always perfectly placed on the conveyor. They do not have to be. The vision technology recognises the shape and position of every product and the depositor covers each one correctly, so you skip the manual alignment step and still get an even result on every product.

Consistent from the first cake to the last

The deposit pattern lives in the product recipe, not in fixed tooling. That keeps the layer of cream consistent across a long production run, and it means changing to another product is a recipe upload rather than a mechanical change-over. You keep the line running and the result stays the same.

A cream system built around your line

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

What machine applies an even layer of cream to cakes?

FoodJet's cream depositor. It covers the full surface of cakes and sheet cakes with an even layer of cream at line speeds up to 15 m/min per lane, guided by vision so no product alignment is needed.

Can FoodJet cover the whole surface of a cake evenly?

Yes. The depositor applies cream in a controlled, even layer from edge to edge, so each product looks the same without thick spots or bare edges.

Does the cake need to be aligned on the conveyor?

No. Vision technology recognises the shape and position of every product, so the depositor covers each cake correctly even when products are not aligned.

What size products can be handled?

A typical setup runs products around 400 by 600 mm with the long side leading. Because each system is built around your product, other sizes can be handled too.

How fast does the line run?

Up to 15 m/min per lane, depending on your product and recipe. Throughput is configured by matching lanes and layout to your line.

Does the deposit stay consistent across a long run?

Yes. The deposit pattern is defined in software and saved in the product recipe, so the layer of cream stays consistent from the first cake to the last.
