Even Pieces, Fast Changeovers
Your depositor decides how even your cookies come out and how quickly you can switch products. CMC’s SD and SDI wire-cut depositors give you dependable weight and shape control and quick, tool-free changeovers, so one machine can run cookies, brownies, scones and more instead of buying a machine for each.
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 them in Joliet, Illinois.

One Machine, Many Products
Run cookies, gourmet cookies, brownies, scones, biscotti, heavy muffin doughs and seasonal products on one depositor. Just change the die.
Dependable Weights
Interchangeable dies and a precise wire-cut system cut uniform pieces row after row, so your product looks the same in every batch.
Back to Production Faster
Key parts come off without tools and go in the dishwasher, so cleanup and recipe changes are quick.
SD and SDI Models
Feed rolls push the dough through a die, and a wire cuts each row of pieces. The SD sets them on standard, impression or muffin pans. The SDI has its own conveyor, so the pieces can go straight onto the belt or onto trays. The number in the name is the die length in inches.
| Model | Deposits onto | Size |
|---|---|---|
| 16 SD | Standard, impression or muffin pans | 16-inch die |
| 24 SD | Pans, including 26-inch-wide pans | 24-inch die |
| 16 SDI | Its own conveyor belt, or trays | 16-inch die |
| 24 SDI | Its own conveyor belt, or trays | 24-inch die |
| 30 SDI | Its own conveyor belt, or trays | 30-inch die |
The 16 SD makes up to 10,000 pieces an hour and the 24 SD up to 15,000, depending on the dough and the size and shape of the pieces. Tell us your product and how many pieces an hour you need, and we’ll recommend a model.

SD and SDI Questions
What’s the difference between the SD and the SDI?
The SD feeds pans under the die. The SDI has its own conveyor, so it can drop pieces onto the belt or onto trays, or onto pans carried by a lug conveyor.
Which size do I need?
The number in the name is the die length in inches. A longer die fits more pieces across the belt, or bigger pieces. Tell us your piece size and weight and how many pieces an hour you need, and we’ll recommend a model.
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 it feed my oven or freezer line?
Yes. The SD fills pans, and the SDI can drop pieces onto a belt or trays that go on to your oven or freezer. Tell us about your line and we’ll set it up to fit.
How do you clean it?
Key parts come off without tools and are dishwasher safe. The hopper, feed roll shafts and tabletop are stainless steel.
Do you have parts for older depositors, like the 65 S and 85 S?
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).
