Winyard Engineering - Twin Low Level Depositor

• Accurate dispensing of liquid or semi-liquid products into containers or onto production lines.
• Filling of bakery items such as muffins, tarts, and cakes with batter or fillings.
• Portioning of sauces, purees, and viscous food products into trays or pouches.
• Depositing of creams, gels, and other non-food viscous materials in industrial processes.

Typical capacity

Throughput for twin-head depositors of this class typically ranges from 20 to 60 deposits per minute, depending on product viscosity and deposit volume.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with pneumatic air supply for operation.

Deposit volume range

Depositors in this category typically offer adjustable deposit volumes, often ranging from a few millilitres up to several litres per shot, depending on cylinder size.

Product viscosity suitability

This equipment is generally suitable for low to medium viscosity products, including liquids, batters, creams, and some pastes.

Footprint

The footprint for a twin low-level depositor is typically compact, designed for integration into existing production lines, often around 1.5m to 2.5m in length.

Construction material

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

• What does 'low level' refer to in a depositor?

  A 'low level' depositor typically means the hopper or product feed system is positioned closer to the ground, allowing for easier manual loading or integration with low-level feed tanks.

• What are 'GP Outlets'?

• Can this depositor handle products with particulates?

• Is this unit suitable for hot filling applications?

• What maintenance is typically required for a depositor of this type?

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.
