Core offering

FoodJet designs and manufactures customized precision food depositing machines for industrial mass production. Using proprietary jetting technology combined with advanced vision systems, the machines deposit liquid and semi-liquid foodstuffs (butters, creams, fat compounds, chocolate, doughs, batters, sauces, purees, jams, jellies) onto bakery and confectionery products with high accuracy at industrial belt speeds, eliminating mechanical changeovers.

Product overview

FoodJet offers a portfolio of precision food depositing machines for mass production of liquid and semi-liquid foodstuffs. The core product line includes specialized depositors for butters & creams, fat compounds/chocolate, doughs & batters, sauces & purees, tempered chocolate, and jams & jellies. Three main solution types are offered: Graphical Decoration for adding designs to products, Cavity Depositing for filling product cavities, and Surface Filling for even surface coverage. The system components include various depositor heads (FJ22, FJ26, FJ28, FJ29) optimized for different viscosities, material supply systems (PUL), volumetric servopumps (VSP), and mobile/stationary depositor platforms (MDS, SDL). Software includes FoodJet Designer Studio for pattern creation, FoodJet Control Platform for system management, and Free Form Pattern Generator for variable product shapes. The technology is characterized by advanced vision systems for product detection and alignment, enabling precise depositing without mechanical changeovers.
