- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 1 to 3 trolleys, accommodating several hundred kilograms of product depending on density and size.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption varying based on heating elements and motor loads.
- Heating method
- Bastramat kilns commonly utilise electric heating, though some models may incorporate steam or gas options for temperature control.
- Smoke generation
- This model includes an automatic smoke producer, typically using sawdust or wood chips for a controlled smoke generation process.
- Temperature range
- Smoking kilns are generally capable of operating across a broad temperature range, from cold smoking (below 30°C) to hot smoking (up to 90°C or more).
- Construction material
- Units are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability in demanding processing environments.
- Control system
- Modern smoking kilns commonly feature programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for precise control over temperature, humidity, and smoke density.
- Footprint
- The footprint for a single-trolley unit of this type is typically around 1.5m x 1.5m, plus space for the smoke generator and access.
