Depositing machines for biscuit, cookie, and shaped products

A depositing machine portions and shapes batter or dough into uniform pieces on a tray — replacing manual piping and scoop-and-drop work with consistent, fast deposition. For biscuit and cookie production at volume, depositors transform output speed and product consistency.

Mimac depositors

Mimac is an Italian manufacturer of biscuit and pastry depositing equipment with a strong reputation in the Australian patisserie and bakery trade. The range we stock covers the formats commercial bakeries actually need:

• Drop and rotary depositors: Volumetric piston depositing onto trays — produces uniform shapes (rosettes, biscuits, choux). Rotary heads handle tray-after-tray loading at production speed.
• Wirecut depositors: Cookie-cutter style depositing — extruded dough is cut by a wire mechanism, producing the classic round flat-cookie shape. The standard for shortbreads and uniform biscuits.
• 400mm tray-format machines: Match the standard Australian patisserie tray size — interchangeable with combi oven and rotary oven racks.

Where depositors earn their place

• Wholesale bakeries: Daily biscuit, cookie, and choux production at uniform size and weight.
• Patisseries and pastry production: Macaron shells, financiers, madeleines, sable biscuits, choux puffs.
• Café-roasters with retail biscuit lines: Single-shape biscuit production for retail packs.
• Function venues with batch-baking: Uniform petit-fours and afternoon-tea bakes.

Specifying for your bakery

The right depositor depends on your batch size, the products you're making, and your tray-rack format. For small-batch patisseries, a benchtop drop depositor handles most needs; for production wholesalers, a rotary or wirecut depositor with multi-tray feed transforms throughput. Our team works through depositor selection with bakery clients — talk to us about your products and batch sizes.

Depositor care

• Daily strip and sanitise: Dough and batter residue dries hard if not cleaned — strip and clean every shift.
• Inspect piston seals: Worn piston seals reduce dosing accuracy — replace as a maintenance item.
• Lubricate per manufacturer schedule: Bench depositors and rotary depositors have grease points — follow the schedule.
• Calibrate dose volume: Verify monthly that dose volume matches setpoint — drift reduces product consistency.
• Replace worn nozzles: Plastic and stainless nozzles wear over time — replace before product shape suffers.
• Service annually: Production depositors benefit from annual factory-trained service — extends life.
