Cluster Depositor

Deposit chocolate with inclusions directly onto a belt or into cups or moulds.
Unique depositing action allowing it to deposit large inclusions i.e. whole Almonds and Macadamias with a high proportion of inclusions.
Achieve a handmade look with the benefits of automation
The unit holds pre-mixed chocolate or compound with inclusions in a large capacity hopper with a heavy duty mixer to ensure that the inclusions are thoroughly mixed and held in suspension prior to entering the piston chambers of the depositor.
The head and hopper are water jacketed with accurate temperature control and the nozzles are heated to prevent blockages.
Large nut sizes can be handled through the large bore pistons and depositor block.
Nozzles can be indexed when depositing on a belt.
Large nozzles are used with special silicone moulded PTL valves fitted on the outlet end of each nozzle; thus minimizing drips and tailing.
Very uniform weight control can be achieved with thorough pre-mixing of the product.
By changing the nozzles the machine can deposit pure chocolate and is very well suited to filling follit (hollow) moulds, as each nozzle can be directed into certain parts of the mould I.e. two nozzles in the ears, two nozzles in the body and two in the feet of a bunny rabbit, providing very even mould coverage.
