- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 litres up to several thousand litres, with this unit specified at 500 litres.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Motor power
- Mixers of this size often feature motors ranging from 0.37 kW to several kilowatts, depending on the viscosity of the product.
- Construction material
- Mixing tanks for food processing are typically constructed from stainless steel, commonly 304 or 316 grade, for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Mixer type
- Top-mounted propeller mixers are common for low to medium viscosity liquids, providing good axial flow.
- Footprint
- The footprint for a 500-litre tank with a top-mounted mixer typically requires floor space of approximately 1m x 1m, plus access for operation and maintenance.
