Confectionery Depositor

A confectionery depositor portions viscous or fluid mixtures into moulds, trays, shells, or cavities with controlled weight and repeatability.

Best Uses

Caramel, ganache, fruit jellies, praline fillings, fondant, marshmallow, and other confectionery masses.

What to Look For

• Deposit range matched to product size.
• Temperature control for heat-sensitive mixtures.
• Interchangeable nozzles.
• Easy-clean product-contact parts.

Correct Use

Keep the mixture within its workable viscosity range, calibrate deposit weight, and test flow before full production.

Common Mistakes

• Depositing product after it has thickened excessively.
• Using a nozzle too small for inclusions.
• Failing to verify portion weight during long runs.

Chef’s Notes

Consistency depends on both machine calibration and product temperature because viscosity directly affects flow.
