Delta Food Systems - Depositor

Applications & Use Cases

• Depositing viscous and semi-viscous products such as batters, creams, and sauces into trays, moulds, or directly onto a conveyor.
• Filling pies, tarts, quiches, and other baked goods with precise amounts of filling.
• Portioning ready meals, desserts, and confectionery items.
• Applying toppings or glazes to various food products.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

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

Power supply

Depositors commonly operate on standard industrial electrical supplies, typically 3-phase, 400V, 50Hz, with pneumatic requirements for some models.

Deposit mechanism

Units of this type commonly utilise piston-driven or rotary lobe pump mechanisms for accurate volumetric dispensing.

Number of depositing heads

This specific unit is described as '3 Across', indicating three depositing nozzles operating simultaneously, suitable for multi-lane production.

Product compatibility

Typically suitable for products with a viscosity range from thin liquids to thick pastes, such as the quiche mix mentioned.

Construction material

Food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) is commonly used for all product contact parts to meet hygiene standards.

Integration

Designed for continuous operation, units like this are typically integrated into existing production lines, often over a conveyor.

Cleaning

Many depositors feature designs for easy dismantling and cleaning, often suitable for Clean-in-Place (CIP) or manual washdown.
