Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, depositors commonly handle volumes from a few millilitres up to several litres per cycle, depending on the piston size.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a standard single-phase (230V, 50Hz) or three-phase (400V, 50Hz) electrical supply, often with pneumatic requirements.

Throughput

Throughput commonly ranges from 10 to 60 deposits per minute, influenced by product viscosity, fill volume, and operator efficiency.

Product viscosity range

Depositors are generally suitable for products with a wide range of viscosities, from thin liquids to thick pastes, often requiring specific nozzle configurations.

Materials of construction

Product contact parts are typically manufactured from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to ensure hygiene and durability.

Footprint

Benchtop models typically require a footprint of around 500mm x 500mm, while floor-standing units can be larger, commonly around 800mm x 800mm.
