Vemag - Multi Outlet Waterwheel

• Depositing viscous products such as mashed potato, stuffing, or fruit fillings onto a conveyor.
• Portioning and forming products for further processing or packaging.
• Integrating into automated production lines for consistent product delivery.
• Applying toppings or fillings onto baked goods or ready meals.
• Handling delicate products where gentle deposition is required.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment varies significantly based on product viscosity and outlet configuration, commonly ranging from hundreds to several thousand portions per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage depending on motor size.

Number of outlets

Multi-outlet waterwheels are designed with multiple deposition points, which can vary from a few to many, depending on the model and application.

Product compatibility

Suitable for a range of viscous, pumpable products, including pastes, purees, and semi-solids.

Integration

Designed for integration with existing conveyor systems, often specified to match belt width and speed.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

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.
