Riggs - Model 1000 Twin Track Indexing + Depositing Line

Applications & Use Cases

• Depositing batters and creams for bakery products such as cakes, muffins, and tarts.
• Filling pies, quiches, and other savoury pastry items.
• Accurately portioning sauces, purees, and viscous liquids into containers.
• Producing confectionery items requiring precise depositing of chocolate, caramel, or jelly.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product viscosity and portion size, but multi-lane systems commonly achieve hundreds to thousands of deposits per hour per lane.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage for motors and heating elements.

Footprint

A 20-foot line, as described, indicates a substantial footprint. Buyers should account for additional space for access, maintenance, and upstream/downstream equipment.

Depositing mechanism

Twin lane depositors commonly utilise piston-driven or rotary lobe pump mechanisms for accurate volumetric dispensing.

Product compatibility

Designed for viscous to semi-viscous products. The specific nozzle and pump configuration will determine suitability for products with particulates.

Construction materials

Contact parts are typically stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) to meet food hygiene standards and ensure durability.
