Winyard Engineering Ltd - Liquid Fill Depositor

• Filling small containers with sauces, dressings, and condiments.
• Depositing batters and creams into confectionery moulds or onto baking trays.
• Packaging cosmetic lotions, gels, and other liquid personal care products.
• Dispensing pharmaceutical liquids and suspensions into vials or bottles.
• Portioning dairy products such as yoghurts and custards into individual pots.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, fill volumes commonly range from 5ml to 500ml per cycle, depending on the piston size.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a standard single-phase 230V, 50Hz electrical supply, often with a pneumatic air supply requirement.

Throughput

Depending on product viscosity and fill volume, throughput can typically range from 10 to 30 deposits per minute for a single head unit.

Materials of construction

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

Footprint

Mini-series depositors typically have a compact benchtop design, requiring a relatively small operational area.

Viscosity range

This type of depositor is generally suitable for low to medium viscosity liquids, though specific piston and nozzle configurations can affect performance with thicker products.

• What type of products can this depositor handle?

  Liquid depositors are generally suitable for free-flowing to moderately viscous liquids, including water, oils, sauces, creams, and gels. The specific viscosity range depends on the pump and nozzle configuration.

• Is this unit suitable for hot filling?

• What maintenance is typically required for a liquid depositor?

• Can this depositor be integrated into an automated line?

• What spare parts are commonly needed for these machines?

Food depositors are valued for their precision, consistency and reliability in portioning applications across bakery, confectionery and prepared foods sectors. Buyers typically prioritise machines with minimal wear, clear maintenance histories and compatible control systems. Key strengths include durability when properly serviced, adaptability to various product viscosities, and straightforward operation. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting nozzles, pumps and pneumatic components is essential, as wear directly affects deposit accuracy. Machines from reputable manufacturers with documented service records generally command buyer confidence and deliver strong long-term value.
