- Typical throughput
- For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly, but units commonly process hundreds of kilograms of fillets per hour, depending on product size and contamination level.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate motor protection.
- Water supply
- A continuous supply of potable water is essential for the spray bars, with typical pressures ranging from 2-4 bar.
- Construction material
- Equipment for food processing, including fillet washers, is invariably constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Dimensions
- While specific dimensions vary, fillet washers commonly have a footprint of 1.5 to 3 metres in length and approximately 1 metre in width, with a height suitable for integration into processing lines.
- Spray system
- Units typically feature multiple spray bars with adjustable nozzles, positioned for comprehensive top and bottom washing of fillets.
- Maintenance
- Regular cleaning of spray nozzles and internal surfaces is required to maintain hygiene and operational efficiency. Bearings and seals may require periodic inspection and replacement.
