Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from several hundred to several thousand deposits per hour, depending on product viscosity and deposit volume.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard industrial three-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with pneumatic air supply also often required.

Deposit volume range

Depositors like the Optifill System typically offer adjustable deposit volumes, commonly ranging from a few millilitres up to several litres per cycle.

Construction materials

Food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) is standard for all product contact parts to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

The footprint for a standalone depositor of this type is typically compact, often requiring less than 2 square metres of floor space, though exact dimensions vary.

Cleaning and maintenance

Units are generally designed for easy dismantling and cleaning, often featuring 'tool-free' or quick-release components for sanitation.
