Vemag - Multi Outlet Waterwheel

• Used for high-volume, consistent portioning and depositing of viscous and semi-viscous food products.
• Ideal for producing sausages, formed meat products, bakery items, and confectionery.
• Suitable for integration into automated production lines requiring precise weight control.
• Commonly found in large-scale food manufacturing facilities for continuous production.
• Utilised in applications where multiple product streams need to be created simultaneously from a single source.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment is typically high, designed for continuous operation, varying significantly based on product viscosity and outlet configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with specific power draw dependent on motor size and ancillary equipment.

Material construction

Food contact parts are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Outlet configuration

Multi-outlet waterwheels are designed with various numbers of outlets, commonly ranging from 2 to 8 or more, to suit different production requirements.

Integration

This equipment is typically designed for seamless integration with upstream depositors (e.g., Vemag stuffers) and downstream conveying systems, such as the mentioned mesh conveyor.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning and sanitisation are essential. Routine checks of moving parts, seals, and bearings are typically required to ensure operational efficiency.

• What products are suitable for a multi-outlet waterwheel?

  This equipment is best suited for viscous and semi-viscous products such as meat emulsions, doughs, batters, and certain confectionery items that require precise portioning.

• How does a waterwheel depositor work?

• Can this unit be integrated with other brands of depositors?

• What are the typical cleaning procedures for this type of equipment?

• Is specialist training required to operate this machinery?

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.
