• Handling viscous products such as hummus, pâté, or thick gravies for ready meal production.
• Metering ingredients for confectionery items, including chocolate, caramel, or fondant.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, depositors typically handle volumes from 50ml to 1000ml per dispense, depending on the piston size and product viscosity.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard single-phase 230V, 50Hz electrical supply, often with pneumatic assistance requiring a compressed air supply.

Footprint

Midi-fill depositors typically have a compact footprint, suitable for tabletop use or integration into existing production lines, often around 500mm x 700mm.

Construction materials

Food contact parts are typically constructed from 316-grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance, with other components often 304-grade stainless steel.

Throughput

Depending on product viscosity and dispense volume, these machines can typically achieve dispense rates of 10 to 40 cycles per minute.

Portion accuracy

Depositors of this type are designed for high accuracy, typically within +/- 1-2% of the target dispense volume.
