Mechanical DepositorBaker Perkins mechanical depositor drive option is awell-proven technology, and offers the same processcapabilities as the electronic servo design. A full range ofcapacities and outputs are available with the mechanicalsolution.

Confectionery Depositing Technology from Baker Perkins

ServoForm™ Overband Drive OptionThis offers a wider range of possibilities for alternative plantconfigurations.

Innovation CentreBaker Perkins Process Innovation Centre in Peterborough isavailable to all our customers for development of newproducts and processes, in conditions of total confidentiality,with the support of our experienced food technologistsand technical partners.

With over 450 confectionery depositors in operation, BakerPerkins is the world’s leading manufacturer of confectionerydepositing lines for hard and soft candy. Our ServoForm™confectionery depositors continue to set the standards forreliability and productivity. Unique design features maximiseoutput capacity and allow complete control over the wholeprocess, with the highest levels of functionality.

VersatilityA range of machine sizes with output capacities up to 2000 kg/hour toproduce a wide variety of confectionery, including:

l Hard candy - fruit candy, high milk or cream candy, butterscotchand lollipops

l Soft candy - toffees, caramels, fudges, fondant crèmes, jellies,chews and deposited chocolate

l Single, two, three and four colour/component productsl Solid, hard and soft centre-filled, layered and striped candyl Candy with inclusions of fruit, nut pieces, encapsulated

flavours and functional ingredientsl Added-value functional, sugar free and nutraceutical candy

Productivityl Underband servo design allows higher depositor

running speedsl Continuous process for minimal product wastagel Accurate control of product dimensions and weightl Simultaneous production of a variety of

shapes, colours and flavoursl Regimented discharge options for enrobing

applicationsl Refrigerated cooling option available

Ease of Operationl Full PLC control with touchscreen HMIl Easy adjustment from one to two colour/component

depositing without reducing capacityl Reduced manpower requirement

Hygiene and Ease of Maintenancel Easy removal of hoppers, manifolds and

moulds for product changeover and cleandownl Self-draining hopper reduces cleandown timesl Clear access into cooling tunnel for

cleaning and maintenance

The latest design servo driven electronic depositor is theculmination of the experience and knowledge gained frommore than 40 years in the industry, along with acontinuing commitment to an extensive research anddevelopment programme.

Single Tier Cooling Tunnell Simple operation and maintenance, easy to clean with

high hygiene levels and excellent access into tunnel area

l Inverter controlled airflow allows precise match ofcooling profile to the needs of individual product recipesvia the PLC control

l Refrigerated cooling available for specific process applications

l Excellent hygiene with no gaps between moulds eliminating therisk of product fall through

l Low maintenance product discharge station

Improved Mould Designl Quick release carrier mould design for easy cleandown

and changeover of mould sets

l Fixed design prevents moulds from dropping out orjamming at turning points

l Solid construction provides dimensional stability andejection efficiency

l Unique mould construction and continuous mould circuitensures optimum heat transfer, reduced cooling times, reduced energy usage and highest end product quality

l FDA approved mould coatings

l Rubber and metal moulds available with mechanical orcompressed air product ejection

Low Retention Hopperl Reduced hopper retention times with easy product feed

and reduced risk of process inversion

l Independently controlled oil-heated hoppers ensure evendistribution of heat to minimise risk of burning anddiscolouration and optimum process control

l Self-draining hopper improves product flow and reducescleandown time

l Unique manifold design with guided piston arrangementavoids product tailing and enables higher running speeds

ServoForm™ Electronic Depositor

Process Controll Full PLC control and touch sensitive HMI provide full

process visualisation, recipe management and alarmhandling

l Recipe control system enables deposit patterns andweights to be set at the touch of a button

l Ability to integrate with upstream and downstreamequipment for control of the complete cooking anddepositing process. Also supervisory (SCADA) andother high level systems

Underband Drivel All drive components are mounted on the machine

(underband) rather than on the depositing head

l Unique underband design achieves higher depositorrunning speeds to maximise output capacity

l Minimises maintenance requirements and reducesmachine footprint

l Machine is hydraulic free, thus avoiding risk of oilleakage onto product area

l Open hopper area for ease of maintenance, cleandownand access for product feeds

l Three axis servo control ensures complete control overthe depositing process with fine tuning ‘on the run’ ofdepositor operation

l Optional 4th axis servocontrol available

l Alternative overbanddesign also available
