Winyard Engineering - Liquid Fill Depositor

Applications & Use Cases

• Accurate dispensing of sauces, purees, and gravies into ready meal trays.
• Filling of small pots and containers with yoghurts, desserts, and fruit preparations.
• Depositing batters and creams into pastry shells or onto baking trays.
• Precise dosing of oils, vinegars, and dressings into bottles or jars.
• Transferring liquid confectionery fillings into moulds or shells.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, typical fill volumes range from 10ml to 500ml per cycle, depending on the piston size fitted.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a single-phase electrical supply, typically 230V, 50Hz, and a compressed air supply for pneumatic operation.

Throughput

Throughput can vary significantly, but small depositors often achieve 10-30 deposits per minute, depending on product viscosity and fill volume.

Construction materials

Product contact parts are typically manufactured from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

Mini depositors are designed for compact spaces, commonly having a footprint of around 500mm x 500mm, excluding any feed hoppers or conveyors.

Viscosity range

This type of depositor is generally suitable for low to medium viscosity liquids, including those with small particulates.
