Cakes and pastry side injector

Enhance your bakery production with precision side injection technology that efficiently fills pastries, bread buns, and eclairs with creams, jams, or chocolates, ensuring consistent quality and reducing manual labor.

Injects and Deposits Fillings in Bakery Products

The DI and DI-E models from GEA are engineered side injection systems designed for bakery and pastry manufacturers seeking precision in filling pastries, cakes, and bread products. Utilizing servo-motor-driven multi-piston volumetric injectors, these systems ensure accurate filling of cream, chocolate, and jams at both ambient and controlled temperatures. The DI model supports high capacity production, integrating seamlessly with automation systems for loading and unloading, while maintaining hygiene through a cleaning-in-place option that reduces water usage. The DI-E model offers a cost-effective, semi-automatic solution ideal for smaller production lines, preserving efficiency with servo-motor-driven injection heads and quick-change conveyor belts. These systems are customizable for various bakery processes and ensure seamless integration into your production line, maintaining high throughput with minimal operator intervention.
