- Typical capacity
- Throughput for this class of single-head depositor can vary significantly, typically ranging from hundreds to several thousand deposits per hour, depending on product viscosity and deposit volume.
- Power supply
- Depositors of this type commonly operate on standard industrial single-phase (230V) or three-phase (400V) electrical supplies, often with pneumatic requirements for certain functions.
- Deposit volume range
- Units are typically adjustable, allowing for a wide range of deposit volumes, commonly from a few millilitres up to several litres per cycle, depending on the piston or pump size.
- Hopper capacity
- A force-feed hopper on a single-head unit typically has a capacity suitable for continuous operation, often in the range of 20 to 50 litres, designed to handle thicker products efficiently.
- Footprint
- For a single-head, stand-alone unit, the footprint is generally compact, typically requiring less than 1.5m x 1.5m of floor space, plus operational clearance.
- Construction materials
- Components in contact with food are typically manufactured from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) and other approved hygienic materials.
