- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, throughput can range from several hundred to a few thousand deposits per hour, depending on product viscosity and deposit size.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly operate on a three-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, suitable for industrial environments.
- Deposit volume range
- Piston depositors typically offer a wide range of adjustable deposit volumes, from small grams to several hundred millilitres, depending on the piston size fitted.
- Product viscosity suitability
- These machines are well-suited for depositing a variety of viscous products, including batters, creams, jams, and thick sauces.
- Typical footprint
- A piston depositor with an integrated index conveyor commonly requires a footprint of approximately 1.5 to 3 metres in length and 0.8 to 1.5 metres in width.
- Construction material
- Components in contact with food are typically manufactured from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.
