Dip Tank

• Used for applying a consistent coating to products, such as confectionery or baked goods.
• Suitable for tempering chocolate or other temperature-sensitive ingredients.
• Can be employed in packaging processes for heat-shrink applications.
• Often found in food processing lines for glazing or enrobing items.
• Utilised in industrial settings for various immersion heating or coating tasks.

Typical aperture size

For this unit, the aperture is 58cm x 40cm. Other units of this type commonly feature similar or slightly varying dimensions.

Power supply

This unit is 3 phase, electrically heated. Dip tanks of this class typically require a 3-phase electrical supply for efficient heating.

Heating method

This unit is electrically heated. Electrically heated systems are common for precise temperature control.

Operation mechanism

This unit features a rise and fall mechanism, which is pneumatically operated. Pneumatic systems are often used for smooth and controlled vertical movement in industrial equipment.

Temperature range

Electrically heated dip tanks typically offer a controlled temperature range suitable for their intended application, often up to 100-150°C, depending on the specific design.

Construction material

Units of this type are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, particularly in food processing applications.

Footprint

The overall footprint will be larger than the aperture dimensions to accommodate the tank, heating elements, and pneumatic components. Buyers should confirm exact dimensions with the seller.
