- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 litres to several thousand litres; this unit is specified at 300 litres.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK) for the mixer and jacket heating/cooling system.
- Construction material
- Commonly manufactured from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Jacket type
- Typically features a dimpled or full jacket for efficient heat transfer using steam, hot water, or chilled water/glycol.
- Mixer type
- Often equipped with an agitator, propeller, or scraper mixer, commonly with variable speed control for different product viscosities.
- Temperature control
- Units of this type include temperature sensors and often a control panel for precise regulation of jacket temperature.
- Mobility
- Smaller units, such as this 300-litre model, are commonly mounted on castors for ease of movement within a facility.
