Pizza Topping System

The CSP tomato depositing system can be installed on a continuous or on an intermittent running conveyor, to produce perfect Italian-style pizza bases. The system incorporates the DPC model volumetric cylinder, for highly accurate dosing of the tomato sauce on the pizza bases, even when depositing for sauce that contains small particles. The spreading unit comprises a system of rotating finger devices that simulate the traditional spoon effect that is traditionally achieved by pizza makers as the sauce is spread out, while leaving the edges of the pizza free of tomato. Faultless pizza bases, every time.

The DRP depositor unit comprises a polycord conveyor with product recovery and re-circulating tank, on which is fitted a stainless steel, motorized roller. The roller is used to distribute and deposit tomato sauce evenly over the pizzas passing through, using the same process that is used for American-type high pizzas that are totally covered in tomato sauce without free edges.

Developed to offer high production flexibility, the modular LFP technology comprises single units that can be moved along processing lines, which means that various ingredients can be deposited in a chosen sequence on the pizza bases. 

Capable of operating at high depositing speeds, the LFP system can be supplied with a range of depositing options. These include a sprayer for filtered tomato sauce, which produces a free edge on the pizza base, or a tomato sauce depositor and spreading unit to distribute tomato sauce evenly over the pizzas as they pass through. Alternatively, tomato sauce can be applied using a waterfall depositor, to produce American-style pizza bases that are totally covered in sauce. Other toppings, such as mozzarella and vegetables, can be deposited using a waterfall fingers depositor, and a targeting mask can be applied to leave free edges that are typical of Italian-style pizzas.

The LFP pizza topping system is constructed in stainless steel and food-grade materials to comply with strict hygiene regulations, and the conveyor and other product parts are removable for ease of cleaning. The production units are also wheel mounted to further aid speedy cleaning. 

Ideally suited to high capacity, highly automated production, the LFP system from GEA can be fitted with product-loading and recovery conveyors that reduce both wastage of ingredients and the need for operator intervention.
