Bell Perkins - Single Head Depositor

Applications & Use Cases

• Precisely portioning batters and creams into moulds or onto baking trays.
• Filling pies, tarts, and pastries with fruit fillings, jams, or savoury mixtures.
• Decorating cakes and desserts with controlled deposits of icing or ganache.
• Dispensing sauces, purees, and viscous liquids in food production lines.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Typically, single-head depositors offer a deposit range from 10ml to 1000ml per cycle, depending on the piston size and product viscosity.

Power supply

Commonly operates on a standard single-phase 230V, 50Hz electrical supply, with some pneumatic models requiring compressed air.

Footprint

For this class of table-top equipment, dimensions are typically compact, often around 500mm (W) x 700mm (D) x 700mm (H), making it suitable for smaller production areas.

Materials of construction

Contact parts are generally constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Throughput

A single-head unit can typically achieve 10-30 deposits per minute, depending on product viscosity and operator efficiency.

Deposit accuracy

Units of this type commonly offer high deposit accuracy, often within +/- 1-3% by volume, crucial for consistent product quality.
