The MR150 Series Depositing Unit can be supplied as a free standing, individual machine for manual operation, i.e. the operator would present the baking trays to the depositor and initiate each deposit by means of a foot pedal. The machine can be incorporated into an automated production line, also designed and manufactured by Apple Food Systems.
All types of smooth free flowing fillings can be handled, including aerated cream fillings, chocolate sauces, jams, custards and syrups. When incorporated into an automated production line the single machine can be mounted at proximity centres (minimum 50 mm) upon a common support frame with outlet nozzles positioned to suit the configuration of the baking tray.
For the more dedicated production lines, the machine is offered in a common drive arrangement with the centres of the outlets as close as 50 mm. Electronic menu selection for varying products to be deposited is available as standard. Both options of depositing unit offer the user extremely accurate depositing with targets of +/- 0.5 grams being easily achieved.

Once each tray configuration is programmed, the program is then saved into the menu selection screen within the operator panel for future use. The tray indexing track can provide an indexing rate of up to 30 indexes per minute which, if processing a six across tray configuration creates an impressive 180 products per minute.
