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

Commonly found on units of this type is a single-phase 230V or three-phase 400V electrical supply, often with pneumatic requirements for actuation.

Deposit volume range

Typically, these machines offer adjustable deposit volumes, often from a few millilitres up to several litres per cycle, depending on the nozzle and pump configuration.

Product compatibility

Suitable for a wide range of viscous and semi-viscous products, including those with small particulates. Viscosity and particulate size are key considerations.

Footprint

Benchtop models are compact, while freestanding units can vary significantly in size, typically requiring 1-3 square metres of floor space.

Construction materials

Units are generally constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for contact parts, ensuring hygiene and durability.
