Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, for robust industrial operation.

Depositing mechanism

Gear depositors are known for their volumetric accuracy and ability to handle a wide range of product viscosities, from thin liquids to thick pastes.

Tray compatibility

This unit is specified for 400mm x 600mm trays, which is a common industrial bakery tray size in the UK and Europe.

Number of heads

Multi-head depositors typically feature multiple nozzles to deposit simultaneously, increasing production efficiency.
