Choose the Right Food Depositor to Deliver Quality Products

Consumers always favor foods that excel not just in quality, but also in looks and packaging. Whether it is dry foods, such as nuts and cereals, frozen or ready-to-eat meals, or other items, such as sauces, vinaigrettes, or salsas, presentation and packaging make a huge impact on your consumers’ buying decisions. The same is true of gelatin cubes that have become a popular way of consuming fruits or vegetables. While mashed up gelatin looks clumsy and unappetizing, gelatin cube salads come out looking attractive as well as homemade and presentable.


Did you know that the use of gelatin first gained momentum in the early 1930s as a time-saving cooking technique? This was when women started actively joining the workforce, and exploring quick fix meals to feed the family, while balancing their work responsibilities. Gelatin was not only cheap and widely available, it was also a good source of protein. It made the congealed salads look attractive and appealing, and helped in molding nutritious foods into one-dish wonders for a main course, or dessert. Today, gelled and congealed salads, sweet or savory have become a staple food in American households.


Top Five Tips for Selecting Efficient and Affordable Food Depositor Systems


If you are in the food business and produce congealed or gelatin cubed salads, you need a


food depositor that offers:

  1. Configurability : Easy controls and versatility for multiple deposits
  2. Compatibility : Smooth integration with your food filling equipment and conveyor systems
  3. Quality and Compliance : Robust and durable build, along with components and sub-components that comply with     applicable regulatory requirements or industry standards
  4. Sanitary Design : Quick, efficient, and easy-to-clean options that do not impact your production shifts
  5. Efficiency : Portioning accuracy that ensures consistent packaging, minimum wastage, and reduced manual   interventions; should also be energy-efficient

 


The plethora of options available in the food equipment market may leave you feeling overwhelmed. Depending on the type and variety of foods you process, the particulate content of each raw material may also be different. Hence, selecting a food filling system that can handle multiple types of products may be a wise and sustainable investment for your business.
