- Typical capacity
- Units of this class commonly handle products up to 300mm in diameter, with double-headed dies often used for items up to 120mm.
- Power supply
- Typically requires a standard industrial electrical supply, often three-phase, alongside a compressed air connection for pneumatic functions.
- Construction materials
- Commonly features stainless steel construction for food contact areas and framework, ensuring hygiene and durability.
- Control system
- Modern units like this typically incorporate a PLC system for precise control over indexing, ram stroke, and temperature.
- Indexing mechanism
- Features a rotary indexing table, often pneumatically damped, for rapid and accurate product positioning.
- Temperature control
- Units typically include thermostatic or simmerstat control for heated elements, if applicable to the forming process.
- Safety features
