Typical capacity

For this model, the stated 12L bowl capacity is a key indicator. Units in this class typically range from 5L to 40L for laboratory or small-batch production.

Power supply

As indicated, this unit requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, which offers robust performance for industrial applications.

Construction material

The 'Stainless' description confirms food-grade construction, typically 304 or 316 stainless steel, essential for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food and pharmaceutical environments.

Temperature control

The 'jacketed bowl' and 'Haake D8 circulating waterbath' indicate precise temperature control capabilities, crucial for processes requiring heating or cooling during mixing.

Vacuum capability

The inclusion of vacuum functionality is common for this class of equipment, allowing for de-aeration of products, improved shelf-life, and enhanced texture.

Mixing versatility

Variable speed control and a top-mounted bowl scraper are typical features, providing flexibility for processing a wide range of product viscosities and ensuring thorough mixing.

Mobility

Mounted on a mobile stainless frame, units of this type are designed for ease of relocation within a facility, enhancing operational flexibility.
