- Typical capacity
- Throughput for single-head pneumatic depositors of this class typically ranges from 10 to 30 deposits per minute, depending on product viscosity and deposit volume.
- Power supply
- Pneumatic depositors primarily require a compressed air supply, typically 6-8 bar, with a minor electrical connection (e.g., 230V single phase) for controls.
- Deposit volume range
- Units of this type commonly offer a wide deposit volume range, often adjustable from a few millilitres up to several hundred millilitres per shot.
- Materials of construction
- Product contact parts are typically made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Footprint
- Low-level mobile units are designed for flexibility, commonly featuring a compact footprint, typically around 800mm x 800mm, allowing for easy integration into various production layouts.
- Control system
- Modern units, especially those described as PLC controlled, typically feature user-friendly interfaces for setting deposit parameters, speed, and cleaning cycles.
