Leonhardt AG2 Twin head dosing machine

• Accurately depositing viscous and semi-viscous food products into containers or onto production lines.
• Filling pastries, pies, and confectionery with precise amounts of creams, jams, or fillings.
• Dosing sauces, purees, and ready-meal components into trays or pouches.
• Portioning batters, doughs, and other pumpable food items in bakery and snack production.

Typical capacity

Units of this class commonly feature hoppers ranging from 50kg to 200kg, with dosing volumes per head typically adjustable from a few millilitres up to several hundred cubic centimetres per cycle.

Power supply

Industrial dosing machines like this typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption for this type of unit often in the 3kW to 8kW range.

Construction material

For food processing applications, contact parts and hoppers are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel to ensure hygiene and durability.

Control system

Modern units commonly feature HMI (Human Machine Interface) controls for setting dosing parameters, often from manufacturers like Siemens.

Mobility

Many industrial depositors are designed to be mobile, equipped with castors for easy relocation within a production facility.

Dosing mechanism

Twin-head machines commonly utilise piston or rotary lobe pump mechanisms for accurate and consistent product delivery.
