Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 litres to several thousand litres, depending on the specific model and intended use. Buyers should contact the seller for exact unit specifications.

Power supply

Units of this type typically do not require a direct power supply unless fitted with agitators, heating/cooling jackets, or pumps. If present, these commonly operate on 400V 3-phase power.

Material construction

Liquid vats for food processing are almost exclusively constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Temperature control

Many vats, especially for dairy, include jackets for heating or cooling. These typically use steam, hot water, or chilled water/glycol as the medium.

Agitation

Some units are fitted with agitators to maintain product homogeneity or prevent settling. These commonly feature top-mounted motors and various impeller designs.

Outlets and inlets

Typically, vats feature a bottom outlet for drainage or transfer, and top inlets for filling. Connections are commonly hygienic clamp or threaded types.
