Riggs - 4 Head Depositor

• Accurately filling containers with viscous or semi-viscous products in bakeries.
• Portioning sauces, jams, or purees into jars or pouches in food processing.
• Depositing batters or creams onto confectionery items.
• Filling ready meal trays with various components.

Typical capacity

Throughput for a 4-head depositor typically ranges from several hundred to a few thousand deposits per hour, depending on product viscosity and fill volume.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard industrial 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with pneumatic air supply also often required.

Product viscosity range

Depositors are typically suitable for a wide range of product viscosities, from thin liquids to thick pastes, often with interchangeable nozzles.

Fill volume range

For this class of equipment, individual head fill volumes are commonly adjustable, typically from a few millilitres up to several litres per deposit.

Construction material

Contact parts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

A 4-head depositor typically requires a floor space of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 0.8m to 1.2m in width, plus operational clearance.

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.
