Bakon - Rise and Fall Depositor

• Precisely depositing batters, creams, and fruit fillings into moulds or onto trays in bakeries.
• Accurately filling pies, tarts, and pastries with various viscous and semi-viscous products.
• Dispensing sauces, purees, and gravies in food manufacturing and ready-meal production.
• Portioning delicate mousses and custards for dessert production lines.

Typical capacity

Depositing volumes typically range from a few millilitres up to several litres per cycle, depending on nozzle size and product viscosity.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a modest power consumption for the motor and controls.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a rise and fall depositor typically occupies a floor space of approximately 1.0m to 1.5m in length and 0.8m to 1.2m in width.

Material construction

Components in contact with food are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Deposit accuracy

Units of this type are designed for high deposit accuracy, typically within +/- 1-3% by volume, crucial for consistent product quality.

Maintenance requirements

Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning, checking seals and O-rings, and occasional lubrication of moving parts.

• What does 'rise and fall' mean for a depositor?

  The 'rise and fall' mechanism allows the depositing nozzle to descend into the product container or mould during filling and then rise out. This prevents stringing or tailing of viscous products, ensuring a clean and accurate deposit.

• Can this depositor handle products with particulates?

• Is this unit suitable for hot or cold products?

• How easy is it to clean this type of equipment?

• What kind of products are best suited for a Bakon depositor?

Food depositors are valued for their precision, consistency and reliability in portioning applications across bakery, confectionery and prepared foods sectors. Buyers typically prioritise machines with minimal wear, clear maintenance histories and compatible control systems. Key strengths include durability when properly serviced, adaptability to various product viscosities, and straightforward operation. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting nozzles, pumps and pneumatic components is essential, as wear directly affects deposit accuracy. Machines from reputable manufacturers with documented service records generally command buyer confidence and deliver strong long-term value.
