Topping depositor for pizzas and baked goods
In high-volume bakery and pizza production, achieving uniform topping distribution without extensive manual labor is a challenging task. Ensuring consistency in adding ingredients like cheese, ham, raspberries, or streusel is vital for both quality control and efficiency.
Automate and standardize topping application
The DAP topping depositor from GEA is a versatile system designed for high-capacity production lines. Ideal for depositing toppings on American- or Italian-style pizzas and baked goods, the unit uses motorized finger devices to sprinkle a uniform layer of ingredients such as cheese, ham, vegetables, raspberries, or streusel. Featuring a C-shaped frame and a belt-mounted loading area, the DAP model can be fitted after the tomato depositing system to add further ingredients to the pizza. The topping distribution can cover the entire pizza base via waterfall deposition or be concentrated in the center using a movable mask. For enhanced automation, the unit can be supplemented with product-loading and recovery conveyors, optimizing process efficiency and minimizing waste. The DAP depositor supports precise, consistent topping application, reducing the need for operator intervention and ensuring high-quality products.
