Bell Perkins - Single Head Depositor

• Accurately portioning batters, creams, and sauces in bakeries and patisseries.
• Filling pies, tarts, and ready meals in food manufacturing.
• Depositing viscous products such as jams, jellies, and purees.
• Portioning cosmetic creams or pharmaceutical gels in non-food industries.

Typical capacity

For a single-head unit, throughput typically ranges from 10 to 60 deposits per minute, depending on product viscosity and deposit volume.

Deposit volume range

Commonly, these units can handle deposit volumes from a few millilitres up to several hundred millilitres per shot.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard industrial electrical supply, often 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase, with pneumatic air for operation.

Materials of construction

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

Footprint

A single-head depositor is relatively compact, typically requiring a floor space of approximately 0.5m x 0.8m, plus space for an operator and product supply.

Hopper capacity

Units of this type commonly feature hoppers ranging from 20 to 50 litres, suitable for batch processing.

• What products are suitable for a single-head depositor?

  This equipment is ideal for depositing a wide range of viscous and semi-viscous products, including batters, creams, sauces, jams, purees, and certain pastes. Products with large particulates may require specific nozzle configurations.

• Can the deposit volume be adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used unit?

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

• What spare parts are commonly needed for a Bell Perkins depositor?

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.
