This unit is listed at 1000 litres; immersion tanks in this class commonly range from 500 to 2000 litres.

Power supply

Heating or chilling elements, if present, typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK).

Insulation

An insulated jacket, as mentioned, is common for maintaining consistent temperatures during processing.

Material construction

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Pressure rating

Described as a pressure vessel, implying it is designed to operate under specific internal pressures, which should be verified with the seller.
