Spread Depositing Solutions

From savory dips to sweet chocolate spreads—equipment that handles thick, spreadable products with consistent portions and minimal waste.

Depositing Spreads That Stay Spreadable

Spreads cover a wide range—hummus, cream cheese spreads, pesto, tapenade, chocolate hazelnut spread, peanut butter alternatives, cheese dips. They're thick enough to stay on bread or crackers but soft enough to spread easily. That consistency creates depositing challenges.

Manual portioning wastes time and creates inconsistency. Thick spreads don't flow easily, so equipment needs controlled pressure to move product without excessive force that changes texture. And many spreads contain visible ingredients—herbs in pesto, vegetable pieces in hummus, nuts in chocolate spreads—that need even distribution.

Temperature affects spreads significantly. Cold products are firmer and harder to deposit. Room temperature spreads flow better but may separate. Equipment needs to handle these viscosity changes while maintaining portion accuracy across different product types.

Machines for spread production

Why choose Beldos for spread depositing?

Spread production spans retail packaging and food service applications. Each requires accurate portioning, consistent texture, and efficient production.

Handling Different Consistencies
Hummus is thick but smooth. Pesto contains herbs and nuts. Cream cheese spreads are dense. Chocolate hazelnut spread is sticky. Our equipment adjusts with nozzle sizes and pressure settings. The Mini-Fill handles particles up to 15mm, covering most spread applications with inclusions.

Maintaining Texture
Spreads shouldn't change consistency during filling. Excessive pressure or agitation breaks down emulsions, separates oils, or incorporates air. Our volumetric depositing provides controlled, gentle movement that preserves product characteristics.

Portion Accuracy
Retail spreads sell in specific sizes—typically 8oz, 10oz, 12oz, or 16oz in the US market, or 250ml, 500ml internationally. Accuracy affects both compliance and profitability. Consistent depositing ensures labeled weights are accurate and containers look properly filled.

Quick Changeovers
Spread production often involves multiple SKUs in the same shift. Our depositors disassemble into major components for thorough cleaning. Stainless steel surfaces don't retain oils or strong flavors, making switches from roasted garlic hummus to chocolate spread efficient.

Managing Products with Mix-ins
Many spreads contain visible ingredients—roasted red peppers in hummus, sun-dried tomatoes in cheese spread, nuts in chocolate spreads. Our equipment keeps products mixed during depositing so distribution stays consistent. Each container gets its proportional share of mix-ins.

Food Safety
Spreads are ready-to-eat products consumed without further cooking, requiring strict food safety standards. Stainless steel construction, quick disassembly for cleaning access, and smooth surfaces without crevices provide the hygiene these products require.

Whether you're producing savory spreads for retail, sweet spreads for consumer markets, or portion-controlled spreads for food service, Beldos depositing solutions provide the accuracy, texture preservation, and efficiency spread production requires.
