Twin Head Depositor

• Depositing batters and creams into baking trays and moulds.
• Filling pies, tarts, and other pastry products with various fillings.
• Portioning sauces, purees, and viscous liquids into containers.
• Accurately dispensing jams, jellies, and fruit preparations.
• Applying decorative toppings and glazes to confectionery items.

Typical capacity

For this class of twin-head depositor, throughput can range from hundreds to several thousand deposits per hour, depending on product viscosity and deposit volume.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard single-phase electrical supply (e.g., 230V, 50Hz) for controls, with pneumatic power for the depositing action.

Footprint

As a bench or table-mounted unit, it typically requires a compact workspace, often less than 1 metre in width and depth.

Materials of construction

Fully stainless steel construction is standard for food contact parts and the main frame, ensuring hygiene and durability.

Deposit volume range

Typically, these machines offer adjustable deposit volumes, often ranging from a few millilitres up to several hundred millilitres per head.

Operation

Pneumatic operation is common, providing precise and repeatable depositing cycles. Control options usually include automatic cycling or foot pedal activation.
