Apple engineering MR150 Pneumatic Depositor

• Depositing batters and creams into bakery products.
• Filling pies, tarts, and quiches with various fillings.
• Portioning sauces, purees, and viscous liquids into containers.
• Applying decorative toppings or glazes to confectionery items.

Typical capacity

This class of equipment commonly handles deposit volumes from a few grams up to several hundred grams per cycle.

Power supply

Pneumatic depositors primarily require a compressed air supply; electrical power, if needed, is typically single-phase for controls.

Materials of construction

Units of this type are generally constructed from food-grade stainless steel for contact parts and framework.

Hopper size

Horizontal paddle mixing hoppers on such units commonly range from 50 to 150 litres.

Mobility

Many pneumatic depositors are mounted on mobile, height-adjustable frames for operational flexibility.

Deposit accuracy

For this type of depositor, accuracy is typically high, often within +/- 1-2% of the target weight.

• What products are suitable for a pneumatic depositor?

  Pneumatic depositors are well-suited for viscous, semi-liquid, and particulate products that can be drawn and dispensed without damage, such as batters, creams, fruit fillings, and sauces.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used pneumatic depositor?

• Can the deposit volume be easily adjusted?

• What kind of air supply is needed?

• Is this type of equipment suitable for hot filling?

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.
