FoodJet deposits tiger paste directly onto bread and buns, in any pattern, without a mould. Vision guidance places the paste on each product, wherever it sits on the line, so the pattern lands on the product, with less waste around it.
Tiger paste (also called tiger wash, Dutch crust or giraffe bread paste) is applied as a thin layer before baking. During baking the paste dries and cracks into the recognisable tiger pattern.
The result depends on the recipe, the paste consistency, the bake profile and how evenly the paste is applied.
A 70-second animation: a sensor detects each product and only the nozzles above it open, so the paste goes on your bread, rolls and buns, and less beside them.
Applying tiger paste by hand slows your production down, and rollers do not place the paste accurately enough for a modern line.
FoodJet applies the paste through an array of small nozzles that are controlled individually. Depending on product size and the pattern you want, only the nozzles above the product open, so each product gets the pattern and layer thickness set in the recipe.
Paste with particulates is hard for many depositors. FoodJet depositing heads handle inclusions up to a certain size. That size depends on the nozzle diameter and the material, which is why there are different depositing heads:

Tiger paste comes in two forms, both in a wide range of flavours.
The exact configuration depends on your product range, your paste and your line.
When paste misses the product, you lose material. Worse, the paste ends up in the oven, where it means extra cleaning, burned material and unwanted smells.
FoodJet places the set amount of paste on the product, so far less ends up next to it.
