GEA offers a versatile depositing system that is ideal for adding toppings such as raspberries or streusel, to cakes, or for topping pizzas with diced ingredients such as cheese, ham or vegetables.
GEA topping depositors can complete the final product with salty or sweet ingredients before and after baking. From muffins and cupcakes to all kinds of pizzas: GEA’s technology allows to add a custom touch to them, improving their texture and flavor.
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.
