Tabletop Depositors
Maximize your floor space and production efficiency with Hinds-Bock Tabletop Depositors—the ultimate “workhorse” solution for small to mid-sized bakeries. Designed specifically for operations where space is at a premium, these multi-piston depositors deliver industrial-grade performance in a compact, benchtop footprint.
Whether you are portioning delicate cake batters or thick muffin mixes with large inclusions, Hinds-Bock technology ensures your products maintain their premium quality and texture with every deposit.
Ideal for a Wide Range of Bakery Products
These depositors are engineered to handle varying viscosities and textures, making them perfect for:
- Batters: Thin cake batters, stiff muffin batters, and heavy carrot cake mixes.
- Particulate-Heavy Products: Batters containing whole fruit, raisins, or large chunks of chocolate.
Why Choose a Hinds-Bock Tabletop Depositors?
Traditional large-scale production lines aren’t always a fit for specialty bakeries or limited floor plans. Hinds-Bock tabletop systems bridge the gap by offering:
- Superior Product Integrity: Large port openings and short flow paths ensure gentle handling of particulates like blueberries, chocolate chips, and nuts without crushing or bridging.
- High-Speed Output in a Small Footprint: Capable of depositing up to 1,200 dozen muffins per hour, these machines provide a massive boost to your daily throughput.
- Unmatched Versatility: Rapidly switch between muffins, cupcakes, snack cakes, sheet cakes, and rounds with a tool-free changeover process.
- Precision Weight Control: Easily adjustable deposit weights (ranging from 2oz to 7oz per cylinder) help eliminate product giveaway and control ingredient costs.
- Rugged, Sanitary Design: Built with a full stainless steel, washdown-capable frame that meets USDA, FDA, and BISSC standards.
Advanced Engineering for Versatile Bakery Applications
Hinds-Bock Tabletop Depositors feature a reliable, oilless pneumatic drive system that offers both intermittent and continuous cycle operations. This flexibility allows operators to match the machine’s speed perfectly to the specific needs of the production run.
Equipped with fully adjustable side guides, the system handles a broad range of pan heights, widths, and layouts. For wider production needs, our 5P-08WT & 6P-08WT multi-piston table-top depositors configurations accommodate pans up to 26-1/2″ wide, providing a 40–60% increase in productivity compared to standard narrow-pan models.
Maintenance Free Reliability and Simple Operation
Designed for the “economical bakery,” these machines are built to be maintenance-free workhorses. The open design provides easy access for daily sanitation, and the use of inexpensive, easily changed O-ring seals ensures your uptime remains high.
- Hand-Wheel Adjustments: Quickly dial in deposit weights at the front of the machine to accommodate changes in batter density.
- Tool-Free Disassembly: Entire product valves can be changed or cleaned without the need for specialized tools.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hinds-Bock Tabletop Depositors
How accurate are the deposit weights?
Hinds-Bock depositors are engineered for high precision. With a positive cut-off delivery system and easy-to-use manual adjustments, you can achieve consistent weights within +/- 1% to 2% for most flowable batters.
Can these machines handle batters with large inclusions?
Yes. These units feature large-diameter ports and short product paths. This allows you to deposit muffin batters with whole blueberries or chocolate chips without crushing the particulates.
What is the difference between the standard and wide configurations?
The Standard Tabletop is designed for traditional bakery pans (up to 18″ wide). The 5P-08WT & 6P-08WT multi-piston table-top depositors configuration features an extended frame to accommodate pans up to 26-1/2″ wide, allowing for 5 or 6 pistons to fill more containers in a single stroke.
Does the machine require a specialized power hookup?
No. These units are pneumatically powered, meaning they run on compressed air. This makes them safer for wet washdown environments and much easier to maintain than complex electrical systems.
