The highly versatile, stand-alone DRB model rye bread depositor can be provided with interchangeable die plates, hopper heating and cooling jackets, and a motorized scraper, for configuration to automate the feeding, portioning and placing of a range of viscous doughs and mixes.
Model DRB
Rye bread depositor

Designed to be flexible in its handling of viscous doughs, the DRB model comprises an intermittent running conveyor for baking molds, a head with a hopper, and a teflonized chute for dough feeding. A guillotine system with interchangeable die-plates is used for dough portioning. The equipment can also be supplied with a double jacketed hopper for mix cooling or heating, a grid to facilitate hand loading the mix, and also a motorized scraper for use with viscous mixes.
Featuring a user-friendly touchscreen panel, all the machine functions are easily programmable to simplify operation. The DRB unit has also been designed to incorporate as few components as possible, which facilitates inspection and cleaning and minimizes down time as all the parts that come into contact with the product can be easily stripped down.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.

Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
