Unifiller - Elf Bench Depositor

• Depositing batters and creams into small containers or onto baking trays in bakeries.
• Filling pies, tarts, and pastries with various fillings in patisseries.
• Portioning sauces, purees, and viscous liquids in small-scale food production.
• Accurately dispensing jams, jellies, and spreads into jars or pots.

Typical capacity

Units of this class commonly offer deposit volumes from 10ml up to 1,000ml per cycle, depending on the piston size.

Power supply

Benchtop depositors typically operate on standard single-phase UK mains power (230V, 50Hz).

Footprint

As a benchtop unit, dimensions are generally compact, often around 500mm to 800mm in width and depth.

Throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 10 to 40 deposits per minute, influenced by product viscosity and operator speed.

Materials of construction

Product contact parts are typically manufactured from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Maintenance requirements

Benchtop depositors generally require routine cleaning of product contact parts and periodic inspection of seals and O-rings.

• What types of products can a bench depositor handle?

  Bench depositors are suitable for a wide range of viscous and semi-viscous products, including batters, creams, sauces, fillings, and purees. The specific viscosity range depends on the pump or piston design.

• Is this unit suitable for products with particulates?

• How easy is it to clean and sanitise?

• Can the deposit volume be adjusted?

• What accessories are commonly available for these depositors?

Food depositors are valued for their precision, consistency and reliability in portioning applications across bakery, confectionery and prepared foods sectors. Buyers typically prioritise machines with minimal wear, clear maintenance histories and compatible control systems. Key strengths include durability when properly serviced, adaptability to various product viscosities, and straightforward operation. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting nozzles, pumps and pneumatic components is essential, as wear directly affects deposit accuracy. Machines from reputable manufacturers with documented service records generally command buyer confidence and deliver strong long-term value.
