- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 to 5,000 litres, though smaller or larger industrial units exist.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Agitator type
- Often features a top-mounted agitator, which can be propeller, paddle, or turbine style, depending on the required shear and viscosity.
- Construction material
- Commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316L) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, particularly in food and pharmaceutical applications.
- Footprint
- The footprint for a slurry mixer with agitator can vary significantly but typically requires several square metres of floor space, plus access for maintenance.
- Motor power
- Motor power for the agitator commonly ranges from 5 kW to 30 kW, depending on the volume and viscosity of the material being mixed.
