Comas - DPC Depositor

• Depositing batter for cakes, muffins, and cupcakes.
• Filling tarts, pies, and other pastry shells with fruit fillings or creams.
• Accurately portioning sauces, purees, and viscous liquids into containers.
• Producing confectionery items such as chocolates and jellies with precise filling.

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.

• What types of products can a piston depositor handle?

  Piston depositors are versatile and can accurately dispense a wide range of viscous and semi-viscous products, including batters, creams, fruit fillings, sauces, and purees.

• Is this machine suitable for products with particulates?

• How difficult is it to change deposit volume or product?
