The CDE150 Series Electro/Pneumatic Depositor has been specifically designed to meet the demands of today's automated production industry. All machine adjustments for depositing volumes and operating speeds are rapidly selected on the user friendly operator panel. A pre programmed menu is available for multiple product selection. Maintenance and operation diagnostics are easily monitored to enhance production efficiency. 

Border Free" Pizza System

Apple Engineering designed and manufactured the worlds first successful "Border Free" Pizza Sauce depositing and spreading system. It was the result of many months research and exhaustive tests and is now part of the innovative range of machinery, all built to the most exacting standards.

Multi Function Compact Cassette Pump  

The Multi Functional Compact Cassette Pump has been designed to offer the customer the ultimate in flexibility for product decoration depositing and injection. The pump units are the revolutionary Apple Engineering designed twin gear pumps fitted with acid resistant Waukesha gears.

When configured in multi lane set up, the pumps are designed in such a way as to offer maximum output of outlet nozzles with a minimum footprint size. The revolutionary Multi Functional Compact Cassette Pump design allows for additional units to be added to the multi lane configuration quickly and easily at a later date if required.

The pumps are controlled via an operator interface unit which facilitates multi function decoration, limited only by the operators imagination. Each individual parameter has adjustments that can be quickly and easily altered to give the desired presentation and once achieved the parameters are then saved into the menu function within the operator panel. Each menu is then selected as and when required, with dynamic adjustments still being available for varying process modifications.

Automatic Cherry Placement System         

The new Automatic Cherry Placing System was launched 18 months ago by designing constructing and installing a 15 across automatic cherry placer, which was supplied to a leading food manufacturer in the UK. Whole cherries are dispensed onto a vibratory table and then fed via loading chutes to the transfer mechanism. The cherries are then cut into halves and each half is then placed accurately onto the centre of the product, either Bakewell tarts trifles or any other type of confectionery or dessert which requires a decorative finish. The systems are designed to customers individual requirements from single lane to 24 across. Major benefits from the automatic cherry placing innovation are substantial labour savings, both financial and reduced production staff and also repetitive strain injury. The efficiency of the machine is approximately 94% is common and by careful production control of the selected cherries 97/98% efficiency is achievable. Anyone who has the troublesome task of hand placing cherries now only need to contact Apple Engineering for the automatic solution. Click here to watch video.

Big Bubble Chocolate Bar Equipment  

The structure of the bubble in chocolate is determined by the type of gas you inject. Soluble gas gives the airy structure as shown above, whereas N2 creates very fine, invisible bubbles. Aerated chocolate melts quicker in the mouth; the flavour of the chocolate is released better; and less chewing effort is required thanks to the light airy structure. Use the cheapest ingredients to improve your chocolate: gas.
