- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 to 1000 litres, with the VSM 600 indicating a 600-litre capacity.
- Heating method
- Units of this type typically feature direct steam injection or jacketed heating for efficient temperature control.
- Mixing mechanism
- Commonly includes contra-rotating paddles with sidewall scrapers to ensure thorough mixing and prevent product build-up.
- Vacuum capability
- Many mixers in this category are equipped with vacuum functionality to de-aerate products and improve shelf life.
- Material of construction
- Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability, with internal surfaces often polished.
- Discharge method
- Often features auto-decanting or tilting mechanisms for efficient product discharge.
- Power supply
- For this class of industrial equipment, a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required for motors and controls.
