- Typical capacity
- Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from a few hundred to several thousand deposits per hour, depending on product viscosity and portion size.
- Power supply
- Commonly, depositors operate on a standard industrial electrical supply, typically 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase, often with pneumatic requirements.
- Deposit volume range
- Units of this type typically offer adjustable deposit volumes, often from a few millilitres up to several litres per cycle, depending on the piston or pump size.
- Viscosity suitability
- Depositors are generally designed to handle a wide range of product viscosities, from thin liquids to thick pastes, though specific models may be optimised for certain ranges.
- Footprint
- The footprint for a used depositor can vary significantly; smaller benchtop units are compact, while larger industrial models can be several metres in length.
- Materials of construction
- Product contact parts are typically made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Cleaning requirements
- Many depositors feature designs that facilitate easy disassembly for cleaning, often supporting Clean-In-Place (CIP) procedures for certain components.
