• Depositing batters and creams for bakery products such as muffins, cupcakes, and tarts.
• Filling pies, quiches, and other pastry shells with various fillings.
• Accurately portioning sauces, purees, and viscous liquids into containers.
• Producing confectionery items requiring precise deposition of chocolate or fondant.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 20 to 60 deposits per minute per head, depending on product viscosity and deposit volume.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a single-phase 230V, 50Hz electrical supply, often with a compressed air connection for pneumatic operation.

Deposit volume range

Commonly, depositors in this category can handle deposit volumes from approximately 10ml up to 1000ml per shot, adjustable via controls.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for contact parts and external surfaces, ensuring hygiene and durability.

Footprint

A twin-head depositor commonly occupies a floor space of approximately 1000mm to 1500mm in length and 600mm to 900mm in width, plus space for operator access.

Product viscosity

Designed to handle a wide range of product viscosities, from thin liquids to thick pastes, often with interchangeable nozzles and piston sizes.
