Winyard Engineering Ltd - Liquid Fill Depositor

• Filling small containers with sauces, dressings, and condiments.
• Depositing batters and creams in bakery operations.
• Packaging cosmetics and personal care liquids into bottles or jars.
• Dispensing pharmaceutical liquids into vials or syringes.
• Accurately portioning food products like jams and yoghurts.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, fill volumes typically range from a few millilitres up to several hundred millilitres per cycle, depending on the piston size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard single-phase electrical supply, often 230V, 50Hz, with some pneumatic components requiring compressed air.

Throughput

Throughput for a 'Mini' model can typically range from 10 to 30 deposits per minute, influenced by product viscosity and fill volume.

Materials of construction

Product contact parts are commonly made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 316L) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

A 'Mini' liquid depositor typically has a compact footprint, suitable for benchtop operation or integration into smaller production lines.

Viscosity range

These depositors are generally suitable for a wide range of liquid viscosities, from thin liquids to semi-viscous products.

• What kind of products can this depositor handle?

  This type of depositor is typically suitable for a broad range of liquid and semi-liquid products, including sauces, creams, oils, and gels. Product viscosity is a key factor.

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.
