Topping depositor for pizzas and baked goods
Enhance your production line’s efficiency by uniformly adding both dry and wet toppings to pizzas and baked goods, minimizing manual intervention and ensuring precise ingredient placement for consistent product quality.
Deposits and Sprinkles Toppings for Bakery Products
The DAP and DVB depositors from GEA offer specialized solutions for bakery and pizza production, focusing on efficient topping application. The DAP model is a wet topping depositor designed for evenly distributing diced ingredients like cheese, ham, and vegetables on pizzas or adding ingredients such as raspberries on cakes. It utilizes motorized finger devices and a C-shaped frame with a belt, allowing for waterfall deposition or center-only distribution with a movable mask, ideal for Italian-style pizzas. Fitted with product-loading and recovery conveyors, it supports high-capacity production with minimal operator intervention. Meanwhile, the DVB model caters to dry granular products like nuts and chocolate chips. Featuring a stainless steel product hopper and electrical vibrating base, it ensures precise dosing through a conveying mask. Both models are suited for automated continuous operations, enhancing consistency and reducing waste in the production of items such as raspberry-streusel cake and blueberry cupcakes. GEA’s depositors blend seamlessly into existing production lines, delivering reliable performance with options for customization to meet specific production requirements.
