Twin Head Depositor

• Depositing batters and doughs for bakery products such as muffins, cupcakes, and cookies.
• Filling pies, tarts, and quiches with various fillings including fruit, cream, and savoury mixtures.
• Accurately portioning sauces, purees, and viscous liquids into containers or onto production lines.
• Dispensing confectionery fillings like chocolate, caramel, and jams into moulds or onto biscuits.

Operation

Pneumatic, offering precise control for depositing various product types. This unit features both automatic and foot pedal operation.

Heads

Twin head configuration, allowing for simultaneous depositing of two portions per cycle, enhancing throughput.

Construction Material

Fully stainless steel, which is standard for food processing equipment to ensure hygiene and durability.

Mounting

Designed for bench or table mounting, making it suitable for operations with limited floor space.

Typical Output

For this class of equipment, output can vary significantly based on product viscosity and portion size, but twin-head units commonly achieve higher cycle rates than single-head models.

Power Supply

Typically requires a compressed air supply for pneumatic operation; electrical requirements are usually minimal for control systems.

Footprint

Bench-mounted units are generally compact, requiring a stable work surface of typically 600mm to 1000mm in width.
