Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on roller type and motor, but commonly handles several hundred kilograms per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase industrial electricity, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, though single-phase options exist for lighter duty units.
