STECK SINGLE HEAD DEPOSITORS

• Depositing batters and doughs for bakery products such as muffins, cupcakes, and tray bakes.
• Filling pies, tarts, and quiches with various fillings including fruit, meat, and cheese.
• Portioning sauces, purees, and viscous liquids into containers or onto production lines.
• Accurately dispensing creams, mousses, and other delicate products for confectionery items.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, depositors commonly handle a range of product viscosities, with throughput dependent on nozzle size and product type.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a standard industrial electrical supply, often 3-phase, with pneumatic components requiring compressed air.

Depositing mechanism

This model is described as having a force feed system, which is common for handling thicker or more viscous products efficiently.

Head configuration

A rise and fall head is typically found on depositors designed for precise placement and to minimise stringing or splashing, especially into containers.

Frame adjustability

An adjustable height frame commonly allows for integration into existing production lines and accommodates various container or product heights.

Materials of construction

Food processing depositors are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for contact parts, ensuring hygiene and durability.

Footprint

The footprint for a used depositor of this type can vary, but typically allows for integration into a standard production line layout.

• What types of products can this depositor handle?

  Depositors with a force feed system are generally suitable for a wide range of viscous and semi-viscous products, including batters, creams, fillings, and sauces. Buyers should confirm suitability for their specific product with the seller.

• Is this unit suitable for integration into an existing production line?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used depositor?

• Are spare parts readily available for an unknown manufacturer?

• What is the benefit of a 'force feed system'?

Food depositors are valued for their precision and consistency in portioning products across bakery, confectionery and ready-meal production. Buyers typically prioritise machines with reliable pump systems and straightforward controls when purchasing used equipment. Industry sentiment emphasises checking component wear, particularly nozzles and seals, and verifying maintenance history. These machines are generally regarded as durable workhorses that offer strong value in secondary markets when properly maintained, though compatibility with existing production lines requires careful assessment.
