The DAP model depositor is usually fitted to the processing line after the tomato depositing system, to add further ingredients to the pizza. The unit comprises a C-shaped frame on which a belt is mounted and where the product is loaded. Motorized finger devices sprinkle a uniform layer of topping ingredients over the pizza bases. Topping distribution can either be made over the whole of the base by waterfall deposition, or a movable mask can be fitted so that ingredients are added to just the centre of the pizza, leaving the edge uncovered, as in Italian-style pizzas.

Ideally suited to high capacity production, the DAP unit can be fitted with product-loading and recovery conveyors that reduce the need for operator intervention.
