Everything helps producers hopefully hit
that sweet spot of accuracy and consistency in every batch.
"Anywhere in the world, what's most important is consistency of product, which
means every day you're going to get

The need for ﬂexibility
Talk to anyone in the business about depositors and the importance of flexibility
will inevitably come up.
Cakes - especially smaller cakes, Danish and other desserts - require smaller
nozzles to get the most accurate deposit.
However, a depositor that can handle a
wide range of sizes and batter consistencies is more desirable than one that

can only manage one size and type of
product. It's in a producer's best interest
to select a depositor that offers a wide
range of sizes and consistencies with just
a quick change.
Outlet nozzles need to match not only
the size of the deposit but also the consistency of the product. Positive cutoff
with a rotary valve works well for products with inclusions.
"If there's a piece of fruit halfway in and
out at the end of the portion, then the
rotary valve will cleanly cut through that
piece," MacPherson says. Unifiller offers
a wide range of cutoffs to fit the products
being deposited.
