Unitech Optifill System

• Accurate portioning of viscous and semi-viscous products into containers or onto production lines.
• Filling of ready meals, desserts, sauces, and baked goods with precise amounts of ingredients.
• Depositing batters, creams, jams, and purees in food manufacturing processes.
• Suitable for small to medium-scale production requiring consistent fill weights.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 10 to 60 deposits per minute, depending on product viscosity and fill volume.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard industrial electrical supply, typically 230V or 400V, 3-phase, with pneumatic air supply.

Construction material

Units of this type are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Deposit volume range

For this class of depositor, individual deposit volumes typically range from a few millilitres up to several litres, adjustable via controls.

Footprint

A compact footprint is common for standalone depositors, typically requiring approximately 1m x 1m of floor space, plus access.

Product compatibility

Generally suitable for a wide range of products, from thin liquids to thick pastes, often with interchangeable nozzles.

• What products can an Optifill system typically handle?

  Optifill systems are generally designed to handle a broad spectrum of products, including liquids, semi-viscous, and viscous materials such as sauces, yoghurts, jams, batters, and creams. The specific capabilities depend on the nozzle and pump configuration.

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.
