High capacity and individual lobe pump system depositors from GEA Comas offer a world of opportunities for producing plain, filled and decorated cookies, biscuits and fig bars.
The DLV and DV model cookie depositors are ideal for the production of wire cut and smooth mix deposited biscuits. The DLV is a flexible and versatile stand-alone machine that can also produce cakes and be used as test machine, while the DV is mounted directly on a tunnel oven band for high capacity production.
Designed for the production of dual or tri-coloured filled biscuits as well as traditional favorites, the DV3 co-extruder can simultaneously deposit two different doughs and a third, fluid filling. Featuring servo-motor control for precision and reliability, the DV3 incorporates GEA’s innovative ILPS technology to ensure reproducible depositing from every outlet, and a perfect shape and weight for each biscuit.
Flexible, compact and powerful
GEA Bake Depositor 2LC is a compact lobe depositor that allows the production of four different types of soft-dough cookies: deposited, wire-cut, soft-center and co-extruded, bicolored products included.
Despite its compact size, the Bake Depositor 2LC offers high production capability: it is able to reach 40 strokes per minute for deposited products and 100 cuts per minute for wire-cut products. This enhanced production capability translates into significant gains for bakery businesses, allowing them to meet high demand while minimizing production time and labor costs.
The highly versatile GEA Bake Depositor 2LO can deposit a variety of fluid, whipped or dense mixes, including batters that contain solid particles such as candied fruit or nuts. The unit comprise two, independent dosing heads that are mounted on a single frame and driven by servo-motors. Each depositing head comprises two motorized rollers to feed the dough mix to a pump assembly with individual lobes underneath – one pump for each outlet. The pumps ensure that the mix is dosed with high accuracy across the whole working width. The third, fluid filling is fed in through a pressurized manifold and external pump. All the unit’s functions are PLC controlled, and working data for each product can be stored and retrieved easily by the operator.
The Depositor 2LO machine is supplied on a frame that can be positioned to deposit the mixes directly onto an oven band. Alternatively, the frame can be sited over a belt conveyor for depositing onto trays, or for special products that require further processing prior to baking, such as cookies with decorations or icing. Available accessories include a biscuit wire cutter, a vertical or horizontal guillotine for fig bars, and press or decorating rollers for filled biscuits and other applications.
The Depositor 2LO features an easy clean design. All the electrics remain anchored to the frame itself, and the depositing heads can be completely removed from the frame and jet washed. All the components on the depositing heads can also be removed for cleaning.
High capacity rotary molder for processing softdough biscuits and shortbreads
The Capptronic system from GEA is built on state-of-the-art technology for producing sandwich, filled and spot-deposited biscuits directly in line with the baking oven.
Dough feeding is the first step to manufacturing high quality products
Butter, love and stainless steel: the perfect biscuit recipe.
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
As anti-cancer drugs become more powerful and complex, GEA is redefining how to safely freeze-dry these life-saving treatments.
