Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Typically designed for high-volume continuous processing, often handling several tonnes per hour depending on product density and desired wash time.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with associated control voltage.

Water consumption

Units of this type typically feature water recirculation systems to minimise consumption, though fresh water top-up is required.

Construction material

Generally constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

A double flume washer will typically require a significant floor area, longer than a single flume unit, to accommodate the dual washing sections and outfeed vibrator.

Outfeed mechanism

Units of this class commonly include an outfeed vibrator or shaker deck to assist in dewatering and product transfer.
