Kronen - Immersion Tank With Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Washing and sanitising fresh produce such as leafy greens, fruits, and root vegetables.
• Brining or marinating meat, poultry, or fish products.
• Cooling blanched vegetables or other heat-treated food items.
• Applying coatings or treatments to food products in a controlled immersion process.
• Rehydrating dried ingredients or soaking pulses and grains.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, tank volumes typically range from 200 to 1,000 litres, depending on the model and intended throughput.

Power supply

Units commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on pump and conveyor motor sizes.

Conveyor type

Most units feature a modular belt conveyor, often constructed from food-grade plastic or stainless steel, suitable for continuous product flow.

Material construction

The tank and all product-contact parts are typically made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Throughput

Throughput rates are highly variable but are commonly in the range of 500 kg/hr to 2,000 kg/hr, depending on product type and immersion time.

Footprint

The overall footprint for a unit of this type can typically range from 2.5m to 5m in length and 1m to 1.5m in width, requiring adequate floor space.
