Comas - DPC Depositor

• Depositing batters and creams into baking trays or moulds for cakes, muffins, and pastries.
• Filling pies, tarts, and quiches with various fillings, including fruit, meat, or cheese mixtures.
• Accurately portioning sauces, purees, or viscous liquids into containers or onto products.
• Applying decorative toppings or layers onto confectionery items or desserts.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of piston depositor commonly ranges from hundreds to several thousand deposits per hour, depending on product viscosity and deposit volume.

Power supply

As stated, this unit is three-phase. Comas depositors typically require a 400V, 50Hz supply, common in industrial settings.

Deposit volume range

Piston depositors of this type commonly offer a wide range of adjustable deposit volumes, typically from a few millilitres up to several hundred millilitres per shot.

Product viscosity suitability

Units like the DPC are generally well-suited for depositing a broad spectrum of viscous products, from thin batters to thick pastes and chunky fillings.

Indexing conveyor

The integrated indexing conveyor automates product positioning, commonly allowing for continuous or intermittent operation with trays, pots, or other containers.

Construction materials

Food-grade stainless steel is typically used for contact parts and the main frame to ensure hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

• What are the common benefits of using a piston depositor over other depositing methods?

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.
