- 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.
