- Typical capacity
- Units of this type commonly offer deposit volumes ranging from a few millilitres up to several hundred millilitres per cycle, depending on the piston size.
- Power supply
- Many depositors in this class are pneumatic, requiring a compressed air supply, while some may also incorporate a single-phase (230V) electrical connection for controls.
- Throughput
- Manual trigger operation typically allows for a throughput rate dependent on operator speed, often achieving 10-30 deposits per minute for single-head units.
- Construction materials
- Contact parts are typically manufactured from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Footprint
- Benchtop models are common for this type of depositor, requiring a relatively small workspace, typically less than 1 square metre.
- Deposit accuracy
- For this class of equipment, high deposit accuracy, often within +/- 1-3% by weight or volume, is expected.
