Unitech Optifill System

• Accurately dispenses viscous products into containers, suitable for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.
• Fills a variety of product types, including sauces, jams, creams, pastes, and ready meals.
• Integrates into automated production lines for high-volume filling operations.
• Used for portion control in packaging processes, ensuring consistent product weight or volume.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, depositors commonly offer filling volumes from 50ml up to 5000ml per cycle, depending on the nozzle and pump configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a control voltage of 24V DC.

Throughput

Throughput for multi-head systems like the Optifill can range from 30 to 120 containers per minute, influenced by product viscosity and fill volume.

Materials of construction

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

Footprint

A system of this nature typically requires a floor space of approximately 1.5m x 1.0m per filling head, plus space for conveyors and control panels.

Filling accuracy

Depositors are designed for high accuracy, typically achieving a fill tolerance of +/- 0.5% to 1% by volume, depending on product consistency.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, seal inspection, and calibration are typically required to maintain optimal performance and hygiene standards.

• What types of products can a Unitech Optifill System handle?

  This system is generally suitable for a wide range of viscous and semi-viscous products, including sauces, yoghurts, jams, creams, and some particulate products. Buyers should confirm suitability for their specific product with the seller.

• Are spare parts readily available for Unitech Optifill Systems?

• What kind of containers can this depositor fill?

• Does this system come with different nozzle sizes?

• Is installation and commissioning support typically offered with used equipment?

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.
