- Typical capacity
- Throughput can vary significantly based on product viscosity and deposit volume, but multi-station units are designed for high-volume production.
- Power supply
- Commonly requires a 230V, single-phase or 400V, three-phase electrical supply, often with a compressed air connection.
- Number of lanes
- Units of this type typically feature between 2 and 8 depositing lanes, with 6 lanes being common for medium to large-scale operations.
- Deposit volume range
- Individual deposit volumes are usually adjustable, typically ranging from a few millilitres up to several hundred millilitres per nozzle.
- Materials of construction
- Product contact parts are typically made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) and FDA-approved plastics for hygiene.
- Footprint
- The footprint for a multi-station depositor can vary, but typically requires sufficient space for the main unit and access for loading and cleaning.
- Control system
- Often features a PLC-based control system with a touchscreen interface for setting parameters such as speed, volume, and deposit pattern.
