- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, hopper capacities commonly range from 50 to 200 litres, depending on the specific model and intended application.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption depending on motor size.
- Dispensing mechanism
- Most salt dispensers utilise a vibratory feeder or screw conveyor system to ensure controlled and even distribution of product.
- Material construction
- Components in contact with food are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Throughput
- Throughput rates are highly variable but are generally designed to match the speed of associated processing lines, often measured in kg/hour or units/minute.
- Footprint
- The footprint for a standalone unit can vary significantly, but typically requires approximately 1m x 1m of floor space, plus access for maintenance and loading.
