Pesto depositing on flatbread

FoodJet deposits pesto and similar sauces on flatbread, also when shapes and sizes vary. You switch between products by loading a recipe, without mechanical adjustments, and pinch valves let sauces with pieces pass without clogging.

More variety, smaller batches

Green pesto deposited in short lines on a large round base, a long flatbread and two small round flatbreads, on a white surface

Consumers want more variety, which means more shapes and sizes, smaller batches and more change-overs. For a producer, every change-over costs production time.

Change-overs in about a minute

Small round breads and oval vegetable pizzas with lines of green pesto deposited on top

You do not adjust the depositor mechanically to switch shape or size. You load a saved recipe and continue production, usually within a minute.

Sauces with pieces

Pizza base with green sauce dots

Pesto contains pieces, and a depositor must not block on them. FoodJet uses pinch valves in several diameters. A pinch valve closes by squeezing a flexible tube shut, so sauce with pieces passes without clogging.

We match the diameter to your particle size and the level of detail you want.

Where the depositor goes

The depositor sits where the flatbreads lie still on the conveyor, ready for topping. The exact position depends on your line layout, product handling and how the sauce behaves at process temperature.

Frequently asked questions

Can FoodJet deposit pesto with pieces?

Yes. Pinch valves in several diameters let pesto with pieces pass without clogging, and we match the diameter to your particle size.

How fast can I switch between flatbread shapes?

You load a saved recipe instead of adjusting the machine, so a switch usually takes about a minute.

Does the flatbread need a fixed shape or size?

No. The depositor handles shapes and sizes that vary, and vision guidance detects each product.
