The Right Depositor for Your Line
Your depositor decides how even your pieces come out and how much you can make in a shift. CMC builds depositors to match: the SD and SDI for bakery production, the 65 S for retail bakeries and the 85 S for larger batch runs, the XRS for high-volume lines, the Pick and Place for frozen dough on cards, and co-extruders for filled and two-color products.
All CMC America depositors are USDA accepted, meet OSHA and ANSI standards, and can be manufactured to be FDA and CE conformant when required. We build each one to order in Joliet, Illinois.

Wire-Cut Depositors: SD, SDI, 65 S and 85 S
Dependable weights and quick, tool-free changeovers, so one machine can run cookies, brownies, scones and more. The 65 S is our entry-level model for retail bakeries, and the 85 S steps up to a wider body and a 45-quart hopper for larger batches. The SD is a commercial depositor for standard, impression or muffin pans, and the SDI, where the I stands for industrial, is a heavier-duty machine with its own conveyor that drops pieces onto the belt or onto trays.
SD and SDI sizes run from 16 to 30 inches. Depending on the dough and how many pieces each cut makes, output runs up to 10,000 pieces an hour on the 65 S, 16 SD and 16 SDI, up to 15,000 on the 85 S, 24 SD and 24 SDI, and up to 20,000 on the 30 SDI.

XRS Industrial Depositor
Built for high-volume lines. Each XRS is built to order, with heads up to 1.4 meters wide, and sets pieces on paper for frozen dough or straight onto an oven band.
Even our smallest XRS moves 1 to 2 tonnes of dough an hour.

Pick and Place Depositor
Take the hand work out of frozen dough on cards. A vacuum pick-and-place sets each card on the conveyor and the depositor fills it, so no one has to place cards or move dough pieces by hand.

Co-Extruders for Filled and Two-Color Products
Stand out with filled and two-color products, from stuffed cookies to empanadas and snack pockets. Our co-extruders use two dough heads, with dies that keep each dough, or the dough and its filling, separate until it’s deposited. Pieces are wire-cut, or pinch-cut to seal the filling inside.

Dies for Your Product
We have dies for nearly any shape, holiday design or recipe, and we make custom dies, so your product comes out the way you want it.
One Supplier, Mixer to Oven
We also build the mixers, dough feeders and conveyors around the depositor, so your whole line comes from one supplier, from the mixer to your oven or freezer.

Which depositor is right for me?
It depends on your output, your piece size and where the pieces go. The SD, SDI, 65 S and 85 S are our standard wire-cut depositors; the 65 S suits retail bakeries and the 85 S larger batch runs. The XRS is built to order for large-scale lines, and the Pick and Place sets cards for frozen dough. Tell us what you make and we’ll recommend one.
What is a wire-cut depositor?
Feed rolls push the dough through a die, and a wire cuts off each row of pieces, which drop onto pans, a belt, paper or cards. It’s used for cookie, scone, biscuit and brownie doughs.
Can you make a die for my product?
Yes. We have dies for nearly any shape, holiday design or recipe, and we make custom dies. Tell us what you make and the size and shape of the pieces.
Can you build the whole line?
Yes. We build mixers, dough feeders and conveyors as well as depositors, and we can lay out the line from the mixer to your oven or freezer.
Do you have parts for older depositors?
Yes, for many models. Send us the model and serial number, or a photo of the data plate, and we’ll tell you what’s available.
What warranty comes with a new depositor?
New CMC equipment comes with a written warranty. Coverage depends on the part, so please see our Warranty and Terms (PDF).
