Depositing

Accurate dosing determines both the quality and the profitability of your production: every portion exactly on weight, without product loss or overfilling. Depositors deposit precisely the right amount of product — from liquid to highly viscous with particulates — into cups, trays or moulds. As a partner of Steck Europe, VME supplies high-precision dosing solutions and the expertise to integrate them perfectly into your line.

In depositing, an exactly measured amount of product is deposited each cycle into a package or mould. A depositor draws the product in (by suction, pressure or gravity) and deposits it through precise nozzles with a drip-free cut-off. This lets you handle sauces, creams, fillings, batters, dairy or particulate products with constant precision. Steck Europe stands out with a unique 'cassetted' engine design, IP65-sealed pneumatics and exceptional vacuum capability — often drawing product directly from the bulk vessel, without a separate pump.

• Precise portioning: constant weight with excellent repeatability
• Less product loss: no overfilling, so lower raw-material costs (less giveaway)
• Wide product range: from water to highly viscous products with particulates
• Hygienic: 316L stainless steel and IP65-sealed pneumatics for intensive cleaning
• Easy maintenance: modular cassetted engine design, fast to clean
• Economical and reliable: low compressed-air consumption and robust construction

Dosing solutions can be used in almost every food sector. Think of ready meals, bakery and biscuits, dairy and desserts, chocolate and confectionery, sauces, jams and condiments, pizzas and salads. They handle a wide range of products: from thin liquids such as oils to thick pastes and fillings with particulates. Besides the depositors, Steck Europe also offers delta robots (the DR range) for applying sauces, filling and lidding sandwiches, and other repetitive tasks.

As a partner of Steck Europe, VME offers the complete range. The versatile Dimension range handles the widest product range, from single machines to multi-head versions on transverse or cantilever frames. The SPD depositor combines the accuracy of servo control with minimal air consumption and simple digital operation. There are also transfer pumps, rotary cup depositors and the DR robots. We tune each system precisely to your product, packaging and line speed.
