Depositing waffle batter in moulds on a waffle production line

Targeted batter depositing controls where and how much waffle batter enters each mould area. This helps reduce batter spill next to moulds, cleaning effort and defects caused by burned batter residues. FoodJet depositors can be integrated on a waffle production line and tuned to your mould geometry, batter characteristics and line conditions. For product variation, multiple batter colours can be deposited according to a pattern using FoodJet Designer Studio.

FoodJet enables targeted depositing of waffle batter directly into moulds, controlling both placement and deposit volume per area of the mould. This helps reduce batter spill next to moulds, cleaning effort and defects caused by burned batter. For product variation, multiple batter colours can be deposited according to a pattern using FoodJet Designer Studio.

Controlled batter depositing

Waffle moulds often require consistent filling across different zones to achieve uniform baking and product appearance. With targeted depositing, you can control the deposit position and volume per mould area, rather than relying on a single, less-controlled fill. This supports repeatable mould filling and helps reduce typical issues such as overfilling, uneven distribution, and visible deposition marks—depending on mould design, batter behavior, and line handling. Depositing parameters are typically tuned to the mould geometry and your process window.

You don’t want to spill waffle batter

Spilled batter next to moulds can lead to burning on the plates, increased cleaning effort, and quality defects. Targeted depositing focuses the batter where it is needed and can help reduce spill and buildup—especially on high-output lines where small losses accumulate. Results depend on mould condition, batter consistency and how stable products are presented on the line. If you share your mould layout and current pain points, we can advise on a practical setup to reduce spills and cleaning.

Multiple colour depositing

To create product variation, multiple batter colours can be deposited according to a defined pattern. Using FoodJet Designer Studio, you can configure deposit positions and pattern layouts to produce consistent multi-colour designs across moulds. The achievable pattern complexity depends on mould geometry, batter flow behavior, and line stability.

Odd-shaped moulds

Not all waffle moulds are uniform. For moulds with non-standard shapes or zone-specific fill requirements, targeted depositing helps you place batter where it adds value and avoids unnecessary overflow. This can support better distribution in challenging mould geometries and help reduce manual correction steps.
