- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 200 to 1000 litres; this unit is specified at 400 litres.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.
- Construction material
- Z-arm mixers for food processing are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.
- Mixing action
- The Z-arm design provides an intensive, overlapping mixing action suitable for viscous products.
- Discharge method
- Units commonly feature a tilting mechanism for efficient product discharge.
- Loader
- Many larger units, such as this 400-litre model, are equipped with an integrated loader for ergonomic and efficient material input.
- Footprint
- The footprint for a 400-litre Z-arm mixer can vary, but typically requires a significant floor area and head height, especially with a loader.
