Bakon - Rise and Fall Depositor

• Depositing batters and creams into baking tins and moulds.
• Filling pies, tarts, and other pastry shells with various fillings.
• Accurately portioning sauces, purees, and viscous liquids into containers.
• Decorating cakes and desserts with precise dollops or lines of icing.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, depositors can range from hundreds to several thousand deposits per hour, depending on product viscosity and deposit volume.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, though single-phase options may exist for smaller models.

Deposit volume range

Typically, these units offer adjustable deposit volumes, often from a few millilitres up to several litres per cycle.

Footprint

The footprint for a rise and fall depositor can vary, but typically requires sufficient space for the main unit and access for product loading and discharge.

Construction material

Most industrial depositors are constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Product viscosity

These machines are generally suitable for a wide range of product viscosities, from thin liquids to thick pastes, depending on the pump and nozzle configuration.

• What does 'rise and fall' mean for a depositor?

  A 'rise and fall' mechanism allows the depositing nozzle to descend into the container or mould during the deposit cycle and then retract, which helps to prevent stringing and ensures a clean deposit, especially with viscous products.

• Is this unit suitable for products with particulates?

• What maintenance is typically required for a depositor?

• Can the deposit volume be easily adjusted?

• What kind of outlet is a 'vertical general purpose outlet'?

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.
