Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 50 litres up to several thousand litres, with 175 litres being a common mid-range size.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, requiring appropriate amperage based on motor size.

Construction material

Food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) is standard for all product contact parts, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Agitator type

Common agitator types include propeller, paddle, or anchor designs, chosen based on the viscosity and shear requirements of the product.

Jacketed design

A jacketed vessel allows for heating or cooling of the product, typically using steam, hot water, or chilled water/glycol.

Footprint

The footprint for a 175-litre unit typically requires approximately 1.5m x 1.5m of floor space, plus access for operation and maintenance.

Temperature control

Units with a jacket typically include temperature probes and control systems for precise process management.
