Depositing system for multi-lane dosing with vertical traversing
Achieve precision dosing and flexible portioning with this servo-controlled system, designed for seamless integration in high-speed production lines. Ideal for applications requiring exact portion control and consistent results, it enhances product quality in various food and packaging operations.

Precisely Deposits and Portions Diverse Food Products
The DS 560 P from Handtmann is a servo-controlled depositing system designed for high-precision dosing and portioning across various food manufacturing sectors. It distinguishes itself with a unique servo-driven vertical traversing mechanism, achieving accurate-to-the-gram deposits for applications ranging from dairy products to gourmet meals. Capable of handling liquid, slurry, and even chunky solids, this equipment can achieve portion sizes from 3 to 1,000 grams at speeds up to 50 cycles per minute. Integration into existing production lines is seamless, with modular designs compatible with thermo-forming machines, tray sealers, and conveyor belts. The system’s efficiency is enhanced by state-of-the-art valve technology and a servo-controlled flow divider, supporting diverse container dimensions and geometries via a centralized control system. Safety and flexibility are prioritized through customized safety housings and versatile configuration options, accommodating complex production demands for food, dairy, meat, and convenience food manufacturers.
