Unitech Optifill System

• Accurate portioning of viscous products into trays or containers.
• Filling of bakery items such as pies, tarts, and cakes with fruit fillings, creams, or batters.
• Depositing sauces, purees, and gravies in ready meal production.
• Dispensing confectionery fillings like chocolate, caramel, or jam into moulds or shells.
• Portioning dairy products such as yoghurts, custards, and soft cheeses.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from several hundred to several thousand deposits per hour, depending on product viscosity and deposit volume.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a compressed air connection for pneumatic components.

Deposit volume range

Depositors in this category often offer adjustable deposit volumes, typically from a few millilitres up to several litres per cycle.

Product compatibility

Designed for a wide range of viscous and semi-viscous products, including those with particulates, depending on the pump and nozzle configuration.

Construction material

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

Footprint

The footprint for a system like the Optifill can vary, but typically requires a dedicated area for the main unit, product hopper, and associated conveyors.

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.
