Rondo - Pneumatic Depositor

• Accurate portioning of batters, creams, and fillings in bakeries.
• Depositing viscous products into trays or moulds in food production.
• Filling pies, tarts, and pastries with consistent amounts of product.
• Portioning sauces, jams, or purees in various food processing operations.

Typical capacity

Throughput varies significantly based on product viscosity, portion size, and operator efficiency; multi-head units like this are designed for higher volume production.

Power supply

This type of pneumatic equipment typically requires a compressed air supply, commonly 6-8 bar, and may also require a standard single-phase or three-phase electrical supply for controls.

Number of heads

This unit features 6 piston heads, allowing for simultaneous depositing of multiple portions.

Integration

Described as being on a C-frame to work with Rondo make-up lines, indicating suitability for integration into existing Rondo production systems.

Product type suitability

Piston depositors are generally well-suited for viscous products, batters, and fillings with or without small particulates.

Footprint

The C-frame design typically allows for positioning over a conveyor or existing line, with the overall footprint depending on the frame dimensions and control panel.

• What products can this depositor handle?

  Piston depositors are generally effective with a range of viscous products such as cake batters, creams, fruit fillings, jams, and sauces. The specific viscosity limits will depend on the piston and nozzle configuration.

• Can the portion size be adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for a pneumatic depositor?

• Is this unit suitable for integration with non-Rondo equipment?

• What are the benefits of a multi-head depositor?

Food depositors are valued for their precision, consistency and reliability in portioning applications across bakery, confectionery and prepared foods sectors. Buyers typically prioritise machines with minimal wear, clear maintenance histories and compatible control systems. Key strengths include durability when properly serviced, adaptability to various product viscosities, and straightforward operation. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting nozzles, pumps and pneumatic components is essential, as wear directly affects deposit accuracy. Machines from reputable manufacturers with documented service records generally command buyer confidence and deliver strong long-term value.
