Unrivalled Specication
The Omega Confectionery Depositors take
the creation and production of cakes, biscuits
and confectionery to another level. The fast,
accurate, and consistent depositing
dramatically increases the volume and
complexity of items that can be produced,
compared with manual labour.
When using the automated continuous workow
function of the conveyor belt, this efciency can be
improved even further with an almost endless stream
of products being produced tray after tray; improving
output capacity and efciency as well as reducing
labour and production costs.
The painstaking craftsmanship that goes in to
each built-to-order Omega Depositor ensures that
these machines are built to last. The copious amount
of stainless steel used in their manufacture also
guarantees them to be durable, hygienic and easy
to clean.
Innovative Touch Screen Controller
The user-friendly Colour Touch-Screen makes even
the most complex products simple to program and
easy to run, so that anyone can be creating the
most stunning confectionery within minutes – with
minimum training.
New programmes can be created with exceptional
ease and stored in the controller’s memory –
which stores up to 650 unique products – while
existing programmes can also be easily changed or
temporarily altered for a one-off session.
Every element of the product’s character can be
designed on screen using the colourful, icon-driven
menus; the product’s size, height, shape and volume,
along with the depositing speed, can all be dened
separately to create almost endless possibilities. A
graphical representation of the nished product along
with its dimensions can then be stored for future use.

Hopper and Gear Options
The Omega Touch is available with a Soft Mix
Hopper in Standard size. The Hard Mix Hopper is
essential for the Omega Plus with Wirecut while
the Soft Mix Hopper is also offered as an optional
extra - both in extended capacity only.
The Omega Plus is available with a Hard or Soft
Mix Hopper in extended sizes.

a range of smooth mixes including batter, sponge, mufn,
choux and meringue along with any other mix with a
similarly smooth consistency.

The Particulate Gears have been designed to aid the
depositing of suspended ingredients, including chocolate
chips, fruit particles and small nuts (up to 8mm diameter).
Made from high-strength polyethylene and stainless steel,
the Particulate Gears simply replace the Standard Gears in
the Soft Mix Hopper to produce the perfect deposit of mixes
containing suspended particulates. Products include choc-
chip mufns, blueberry mufns, carrot cake and brownies.

Intermediate Gears
Designed to work in conjunction with the Standard Gears,
the Intermediate Gears help drive mixes of intermediate
consistency through the nozzles. Engineered from solid
stainless steel, the gears provide the perfect solution for
depositing Viennese biscuit dough, coconut macaroons
and any product that suffers with feeding issues.

Hard Mix Hopper
The Hard Mix Hopper is used where a traditional piping
bag will not sufce or when mixes of a stiffer consistency
are required; it is perfect for the production of traditional
shortbread on the Wirecut machine, along with petits fours,
biscuit mixes and other products of a similar consistency.
The Hard Mix Hopper is available in a range of 6
different capacities, depending on tray width, from the

Multi-Sheeting Template -
Soft Mix
The Multi-Sheeting Template provides the perfect solution
when a number of separate deposits are required across
the baking tray.
The standard range of Multi-Sheeting Templates offers 16
variations based on the number of outlets across the template,
the slot length, the slot width and the pitch between outlets.
Outlet numbers vary from just 2 on the 400mm machine to a
maximum of 9 on the 580mm machine.
Non-standard Multi-Sheeting Templates can also be
produced to suit individual outlet number, slot length, width
and pitch requirements.

Sheeting Template -
Soft Mix
The Sheeting Template is perfect for laying down a single
deposit of mix onto a baking tray. The actual quantity of mix
deposited can be pre-programmed to achieve the desired
sheet thickness to create the ultimate Swiss rolls, Genoese
sponges and roulades.
Manufactured in light-weight aluminium, the Sheeting
Template is available in three standard sizes with a 385 mm,
435mm or 565mm slot length. Within each of the template
sizes there is a comprehensive range of standard slot widths,
in 1mm increments, from 2mm to 19mm to suit the vast
majority of requirements. A Reduced Drip Sheeting Template
is also available which minimises seepage between trays.
Non-standard Sheeting Templates can also be produced to
suit individual slot length, width and position requirements.

Staggered Template -
Soft Mix
The Staggered Template has been designed to make the
depositing of mixes like sponge in to round cake tins as
efcient as possible.
Round cake tins are usually arranged on a baking tray in a
staggered formation to maximise the use of space. The three
plastic nozzles attached to the aluminium Staggered Template
are set at forward facing and backward facing angles to
enable three tins to be lled simultaneously - effectively lling
two rows of cake tins in one pass.
The Staggered Template can also be produced to suit
individual requirements and non-standard tray widths.

Template to deposit soft mixes with a perfect nish and
are available in two different formats – Round and Star.
When depositing products like meringue drops and
sponge ngers, where a velvety smooth, even nish is
needed, the Round shaped nozzles should be used.
On the other hand, the Star shaped nozzles produce superb
striations on products like Viennese ngers and add depth
and character to multi-layered products like Christmas trees.
Each Plastic Nozzle is available individually and can
also be purchased in an 84-piece Nozzle Kit comprising
12 x each of the 7 different models.

versatile Standard Template which, when used in conjunction
with a comprehensive range of plastic or metal nozzles, can
produce a large variety of product formats including drops,
strips and shells along with cupcakes and multi-layered
novelty products like snowmen and Christmas trees.
The exibility of the Standard Template is illustrated by the
fact that there are 45 variants of the template for the three
machine sizes. The number of nozzles across the template
range from just 1 to a maximum of 18, depending on the
tray width, while some congurations also have a number of
different pitch options

Lady Finger and Injection Templates
Soft Mixes

Suitable for:
— Lady Fingers

Lady Finger / Budapest Template
Soft Mix
Ladyngers, called Savoiardi in Italian, meaning
‘from Savoy’, originated in the late 15th century at
the court of the Duchy of Savoy and were created
to mark the occasion of a visit of the King of
France. They also form a principal ingredient in
many French desserts recipes and are known as
‘Biscuits à la cuillère’.
Although these delicate sponge ngers can
be eaten on their own as a petit four or as an
accompaniment to ice creams, they are traditionally
soaked in syrup or liquor and used as part of more
complex desserts such as Tiramisu, English Tries
or Charlottes.
The Lady Finger Template deposits these
sophisticated sponge ngers speedily and effortlessly
by using a series of thin, tightly aligned depositing
tubes which perfectly reproduce their delightful shape
and texture. Before baking, powdered sugar is
usually sifted over the top of the ngers to give them
their characteristic crisp crust.

Suitable for:
— Doughnuts
— Cup Cakes
— Mufns

Injection Template
The Injection Template completely automates the
time-consuming process of injecting lling in to a
whole range of confectionery products. The exact
volume of lling along with the actual depth of
injection can both be programmed via the Colour
Touch Screen to ensure product quality and
lling consistency.
This precision piece of engineering injects the
exact amount of smooth lling into products such
as sponge cakes, choux buns and doughnuts. The
exact number of injector needles range from 4 to
7 across, depending on tray size. Multiple injector
needles can also be created for depositing in to
single products. The Injection Template can also be
designed to suit specic requirements.
The actual number of depositing tubes along the
template is completely congurable to individual
requirements, as is the diameter of the hole on the
tube’s outlet.

enables the nozzles to rotate in both a clockwise
and anti-clockwise direction.

creates beautifully dened deposits ideal for the production
of Viennese whirls and deeply textured ngers with
a characteristic twist – both of which look absolutely
irresistible when baked. The same setup can also be used
to add the nishing touches to cupcakes with an ornate
crown of coloured buttercream.
Brass Star
Used with Offset Nozzles
The Offset Nozzles work with the Rotary Template
to produce a variety of circular, semi-circular or
looped products.
There are 10 standard Offset Nozzle lengths available,
ranging from 5mm to 45mm, to create different diameter
products like meringue crescents, circles and nests with
either smooth or textured surfaces.
The tightness of the twist along with the height and
volume of deposit can all be programmed individually
using the Touch Screen Control Panel providing an almost
endless combination of possibilities.

Wirecut Finger Frame, Template and Dies
Hard Mix
1
The Wirecut facility is only available on the
Omega Plus with Wirecut machine and provides
the perfect solution when a traditional ‘hand
nished’ or ‘rustic’ look is required for hard
mix biscuits.
Three separate components work together in
perfect harmony to create the distinctive qualities
only associated with Wirecut products – the
Wirecut Finger Frame, the Wirecut Template and
the Wirecut Dies.
In addition to producing a range of traditional
biscuits like cookies, biscotti and shortbread,
the Wirecut also works perfectly with suspended
ingredients and mixes containing small particulates
eg. chocolate chips. Whilst the shape and diameter
of the biscuit is determined by the Die, the thickness
of the biscuit can be programmed via the Colour
Touch Screen.

1
Wirecut Finger Frame
A very strong, tensioned stainless steel wire runs through the
front edge of the Wirecut Finger Frame, connecting one nger
to the next, to create the sharp cutting edge used to slice
through the hard dough mix. The Finger Frame is easily tted
and locked in position behind the Safety Guard.
The number of ngers on the Finger Frame is variable,
depending on the size of the machine, as is the diameter
of the extrusion and the number of dies across the template.

Suitable for:
— Cookies
— Chocolate Chip Cookies
2
Wirecut Template
Manufactured from light-weight aluminium, the Wirecut
Template provides a solid base onto which the Wirecut
Dies are xed. The design of the template means that
a large variety of biscuits can be produced by simply
changing the dies.
MONO Equipment does not recommend mixing different dies across the template.
3
Wirecut Dies
The Wirecut Die forms the extruded dough into the required
shape before it is cut and drops onto the tray. Some of the
most popular die shapes include the Heart, Oval, Bloom
and Star; customised shapes and sizes are also available
on request.
