FoodJet enables depositing of a liquid cheese layer on buns to improve adhesion before a cheese waterfall. This can help reduce cheese return and downstream cleaning, depending on product handling and line conditions. The setup can be configured for tray or belt conveying and tuned to your product and process.
What goes wrong with traditional machines?
Many production lines presently use a water spraying system before a cheese waterfall. The idea is to make the shredded cheese stick better to the product because of the water. Nevertheless, you see a lot of things that go wrong:
- Cheese does not stick to the water adhesive and falls off
- In many cases, more than 50% of the cheese is returned by a carousel system
- Material falls off in the freezing tunnel, causing major cleaning issues
- Products do not look nice in the packaging as most of the cheese has already fallen off before
Cheese depositor alternative
FoodJet offers a liquid cheese alternative that has proven to be a major leap forward in many aspects. You replace your water-spraying system with one that applies liquid cheese. This cheese will function as an adhesive for the following waterfall system. This investment creates a fantastic ROI:
- A larger share of cheese can remain on the product, helping reduce cheese return.
- Downstream cleaning effort can be reduced, depending on spillage and handling.
- This can improve the visual consistency of the final product in packaging.
Any conveying system
It does not matter if your products are on a tray or a conveyor belt. FoodJet can handle many different conveying systems. As we deposit all material on the product, the pollution of the production line downstream is neglectable.

What other products to deposit cheese on?
The FoodJet depositing technology stands out because of its flexibility. It is particularly suitable for applying cheese to products that are not aligned, products that have odd shapes, or maybe even product flows with multiple shapes at the same time. The FoodJet vision system will capture it all. Anything is possible. Just reach out to us and schedule a demo in our test lab.
