Fresh and frozen pizzas come in different shapes and a wide range of sizes. Whether thin or thick crust, American- or Italian-style, our family favorites are topped with a layer of tomato sauce and imaginative combinations of cheese, meat, vegetables, herbs and spices.
Commonly known as Italian style, they have a free edge that is kept bare of topping. These pizzas are topped using a mask system to prevent the topping from being deposited right up to the edge.
Very liked especially by children, these American-style pizzas have no free edge around the base. The tomato sauce and other toppings are often added using a waterfall depositor.
The distribution of tomato on pizza is a crucial step in the preparation process, affecting not only the flavor but also the aesthetic appearance of the finished product. Modern technologies offer several options for this crucial process. Among them, the use of waterfall deposit units allows an even distribution of the tomato, ensuring homogeneous coverage over the entire surface of the pizza.
Pizza is an enduring culinary favorite, cherished globally for its versatility and ability to accommodate a vast array of toppings, catering to diverse palates and cultural preferences. Within the realm of pizza production, the quest for perfection extends beyond flavor to include the precise and efficient application of toppings.
Technologies designed for pizza topping depositing play a pivotal role in ensuring consistency, minimizing waste, and upholding stringent hygiene standards across production lines. These innovations are indispensable in meeting the burgeoning demand for pizza while adhering to the highest quality and safety standards, thus contributing to the continued enjoyment of this beloved dish worldwide.
