FoodJet deposits jam and jelly onto biscuits and cookies, placing an even layer exactly where you want it. The thick, sticky consistency of jams and jellies is hard for standard machinery, so FoodJet uses an array of individually controlled nozzles with vision guidance to apply the topping without spillage.
As with many products, the looks can make or break the consumer experience. For example, with marmalade biscuits. You do not want the material to be piled in the center. Nor do you want the jam to be running off the side. Our jelly depositor machine allows depositing an even layer of jam in the center of the product.
This is an example of cavity depositing in practice.
A 69-second animation: vision measures every biscuit, so the jam follows each one up to a clean edge, also on smaller or off-round products.
Though it seems easier to fill a cavity with material, you still want the jam to be spread evenly. Consumers do not want blind spots without material. Regular jam depositing machines like a spot depositor have a hard time reaching each corner of the product. This is not the case with FoodJet's jam and jelly depositor machines. Our depositing head consists of dozens of small nozzles that can be controlled individually, so the layer covers the entire surface.
The depositor places a set amount of jam, chocolate or caramel into each biscuit cavity, after baking and cooling, when the biscuits lie still on the conveyor. In most cases it fits onto your existing conveyor.
Which material works depends on its viscosity and temperature. Send us your material and the result you want, and we test it.
How do FoodJet's jam depositors work?
The jam processing machines of FoodJet include nozzles that can individually deposit a single droplet of jam onto the product. Adding to this, our vision technology detects where the product is placed on the baking tray, making it possible to deposit the droplets of jam accurately onto the cookie.
What are the benefits of FoodJet's jam depositors?
The jelly depositors of FoodJet operate with high precision, which results in accurate depositing of marmalade. This does not only mean that your cookies look visually appealing, it also leads to less spillage next to the cookies!

We managed to give a classic product a makeover while improving the process along the way.

The same depositor fills cavities, covers surfaces and decorates products, with jam, chocolate, caramel and other materials. See cavity depositing, surface filling and graphical decoration.
