Unitech - Optifill System

Applications & Use Cases

• Depositing viscous products such as jams, sauces, and purees into containers.
• Filling bakery items like tarts, pies, and cakes with various fillings.
• Portioning ready meals or desserts into individual trays or pots.
• Accurately dispensing ingredients in confectionery production.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from several hundred to several thousand units per hour, depending on product viscosity and container size.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with pneumatic air requirements.

Product compatibility

Designed for a wide range of liquid to semi-viscous food products, often with particulate handling capabilities.

Filling accuracy

Depositors like the Optifill System are known for high volumetric accuracy, crucial for consistent product weight and portion control.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Cleaning and maintenance

Units of this type often feature designs for easy dismantling and cleaning (CIP-compatible components are common) to meet food safety standards.
