- Typical throughput
- Varies significantly based on material characteristics and desired output size, but units of this class can process several hundred kilograms per hour.
- Power supply
- Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, typical for industrial equipment in the UK. The listed unit specifies a 7.5kW motor.
- Construction material
- Units for food processing are typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance. This unit is described as stainless.
- Feed material size
- Designed for larger lumps or compacted blocks, typically up to 100-200mm in dimension, depending on the specific model and throat size.
- Output particle size
- Produces a coarse, irregular particle size, typically ranging from a few millimetres up to several centimetres.
- Hopper capacity
- For this class of equipment, hoppers can range from 50kg to several hundred kilograms. The listed unit specifies an 80kg stainless hopper.
- Variable speed drive
- Often included to allow adjustment of rotor speed for different materials and desired output characteristics, as noted for this unit.
- Mobility
- Many units, like this one, are mounted on wheels or a mobile frame for ease of relocation within a facility.
