Pizza making machinery for industrial pizza lines

FoodJet builds pizza making machinery for industrial lines that need consistent liquid sauce, cheese and topping application. With software-defined depositing patterns and hygienic valve technology, you control coverage, edge definition and recipe changeovers—without complex mechanical adjustments.

FoodJet deposits pumpable liquid foodstuffs—for example tomato sauce, cheese sauce and liquid toppings such as honey or oils.

Whether you run tomato sauce, cheese sauce or toppings with inclusions, we design a setup that fits your conveyor width, product format and line constraints.

Consistent pizza coverage at scale

FoodJet depositing solutions help pizza producers improve coverage consistency, reduce waste, and speed up recipe changeovers—for sauce, cheese, and toppings.

Typical outcomes:

  • More consistent coverage across high-volume runs

  • Cleaner edges (configurable sauce-free border)

  • Faster changeovers via recipe settings (less mechanical adjustment)

  • Handles products with inclusions (subject to inclusion size and valve/nozzle configuration)

  • Designed for pumpable liquids (not shredded cheese or solid vegetable pieces)

Our pizza-making machinery in action

A large European pizza producer uses FoodJet’s Mobile Depositor Large (MDL) to apply sauce and cheese with software-defined patterns. Their previous setup struggled with the consistency of tomato sauce.
The MDL allows recipe-based adjustments (no mechanical changeovers) and can be configured with nozzles/valves suited for sauces with or without inclusions.

Benefits of the MDL

The MDL (Mobile Depositor Large) is designed for consistent depositing and clean edges on industrial pizza lines.

  • Recipe-based settings reduce downtime during product changeovers

  • Integrates into existing conveyors and line layouts

  • Suitable for high-volume operation (configuration dependent)

  • Supports liquid sauce, cheese, and topping applications

No mechanical change-overs

The proprietary FoodJet Control Platform lets the user choose the exact settings for each product type and shape:

  • How big the sauce-free edge should be
  • How much sauce should be applied
  • How the depositor should respond to off-spec products
  • ... and much more

All this can be done without making any mechanical changes. It is all software-based, so customer-specific requests can be implemented if required.

Large diameter nozzles

FoodJet pizza depositing setups are typically equipped with large-diameter pinch valves. This valve type is well-suited for pizza sauce and pumpable toppings with inclusions, because it is less sensitive to particles (depending on inclusion size and configuration).
With no moving parts in the product zone, the design supports easier cleaning and lower maintenance.

Engineering notes (integration & hygiene)

  • Integration: before/after oven, retrofit options, conveyor width considerations

  • Ingredients: sauce/cheese/toppings incl. inclusions (depending on inclusion size + valve/nozzle setup)

  • Changeovers: recipe-based settings, no mechanical adjustment

  • Hygiene: cleaning approach CIP-type

    Materials (scope)

  • Pumpable liquids: tomato sauce, cheese sauce, emulsions, oils, glazes

  • Liquid toppings: e.g., honey, syrups (application dependent)

  • Not in scope: shredded cheese and solid pieces (e.g., diced vegetables)
