Hinds-Bock industrial muffin and cake batter depositors can be fed by Hinds-Bock bulk intermediate hoppers that accept multiple batches of batter from mixers. The batches are automatically fed to bulk hoppers. Available in double- and triple-wall configurations, the hoppers accept cooling water to help maintain product temperature. The depositors feature diving positive shutoff spouts with large ports to handle viscous batters with large frozen particulates.
