General - Mobile Stainless Trough

• Used for temporary storage and transport of ingredients or finished products within food processing facilities.
• Suitable for collecting waste or by-products from processing lines.
• Often employed in bakeries, meat processing plants, and dairies for ingredient staging.
• Useful in pharmaceutical and chemical industries for handling bulk materials.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 to 500 litres, depending on the trough dimensions.

Material construction

Units of this type are typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Mobility

Commonly features heavy-duty castors, often with braking mechanisms, for easy repositioning within a facility.

Dimensions

Overall footprints vary, but troughs are generally designed to fit standard industrial doorways and aisle widths.

Hygiene features

Typically designed with smooth, crevice-free surfaces and often include drainage points for effective cleaning.

Power supply

As a passive handling unit, this equipment does not require an external power supply.
