- Typical capacity
- Typically ranging from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on the size and design of the flume.
- Power supply
- Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, for pumps and conveyor systems.
- Water consumption
- Varies significantly based on throughput and desired cleanliness, often requiring a continuous fresh water supply or a recirculating system with filtration.
- Construction material
- Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Footprint
- For this class of equipment, footprints can vary from compact units of 2-3 metres in length to larger industrial systems exceeding 10 metres.
- Throughput method
- Units commonly use water flow, often assisted by air injection or gentle agitation, to move and clean produce.
- Maintenance requirements
- Regular cleaning of tanks and screens, inspection of pumps and nozzles, and periodic replacement of wear parts are typically required.
