Riggs - Model 1000 Twin Track Indexing + Depositing Line

• Depositing batters and creams for bakery products such as cakes, muffins, and tarts.
• Filling pies, quiches, and other savoury pastry items.
• Accurately portioning sauces, purees, and viscous liquids into containers.
• Producing confectionery items requiring precise depositing of chocolate, caramel, or jelly.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product viscosity and portion size, but multi-lane systems commonly achieve hundreds to thousands of deposits per hour per lane.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage for motors and heating elements.

Footprint

A 20-foot line, as described, indicates a substantial footprint. Buyers should account for additional space for access, maintenance, and upstream/downstream equipment.

Depositing mechanism

Twin lane depositors commonly utilise piston-driven or rotary lobe pump mechanisms for accurate volumetric dispensing.

Product compatibility

Designed for viscous to semi-viscous products. The specific nozzle and pump configuration will determine suitability for products with particulates.

Construction materials

Contact parts are typically stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) to meet food hygiene standards and ensure durability.

• What products can this depositor handle?

  This type of depositor is generally suitable for a wide range of viscous and semi-viscous food products, including batters, creams, sauces, and fillings. The specific product suitability will depend on the nozzle configuration and pump type.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used depositing line?

• Can the depositing volume be adjusted?

• What are the typical safety features on such equipment?

• Is specialist installation required?

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.
