Rondo Doge - 6/4 Head Piston Depositor

Applications & Use Cases

• Depositing viscous products such as jams, sauces, and pie fillings into containers.
• Accurately filling bakery items like muffins, cupcakes, and tarts with batter or cream.
• Portioning ready meals, purees, and other semi-liquid food products.
• Filling jars, bottles, and pouches with consistent volumes of product.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 deposits per hour per head, depending on product viscosity and deposit volume.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required, often with pneumatic air for operation.

Deposit volume range

Piston depositors typically offer a wide range of adjustable deposit volumes, often from 50ml up to 1,000ml per piston, depending on cylinder size.

Number of heads

This unit is specified as a 6/4 head, indicating it can operate with either 6 or 4 pistons, offering flexibility for different production runs.

Construction material

For food processing equipment, contact parts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

A multi-head piston depositor of this type typically requires a floor space of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 0.8m to 1.2m in width, plus access space.
