- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, hopper capacities commonly range from 10 litres to 50 litres, with larger industrial units exceeding this.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically operate on a standard single-phase 230V supply, though some larger models may require three-phase power.
- Construction material
- Food processing depositors are almost exclusively constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.
- Weight control
- Adjustable weight control is a standard feature, allowing for precise portioning of products.
- Speed control
- Variable speed control is commonly found, enabling adaptation to different product viscosities and production rates.
- Footprint
- Compact depositors typically have a footprint suitable for tabletop or small-scale production lines, often less than 1 square metre.
- Product viscosity range
- Designed to handle a wide range of viscosities, from thin liquids to thick pastes, depending on the nozzle and piston configuration.
