An apparatus for making puffed food products from starch-containing raw materials. The electrochemical deposition system generally comprises a mainframe having a mainframe wafer transfer robot, a loading station disposed in connection with the mainframe, one or more processing cells disposed in connection with the mainframe, and an electrolyte supply fluidly connected to the one or more electrical processing cells. The control circuit includes a measuring circuit for measuring a back electromotive force from the VCM. The arrangement may utilize a pneumatic latching valve to deliver pressurized air for applying a vehicle’s service brakes. The at least one support strut or rib is at least partially determinative of a deflection characteristic of the mouth cushion.
