- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, typical dispensing volumes can range from a few millilitres up to several litres per cycle, depending on nozzle size and pump configuration.
- Power supply
- Depositors commonly operate on standard industrial power supplies, typically 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase, 50Hz, with pneumatic requirements for some models.
- Throughput
- Throughput varies significantly but can range from hundreds to several thousand deposits per hour, influenced by product viscosity, dispense volume, and operator interaction or automation level.
- Materials of construction
- Components in contact with food are typically made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Footprint
- Benchtop models can be compact, while floor-standing units commonly require a footprint of approximately 0.5m² to 1.5m², plus space for product loading and unloading.
- Viscosity range
- Units of this type are generally suitable for a wide range of product viscosities, from thin liquids to thick pastes, often requiring different pump types or nozzle configurations.
- Controls
- Commonly features include variable speed control, dispense volume adjustment, and foot pedal or automated cycle initiation.
