- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 50 to 200 litres, with some larger industrial units exceeding this.
- Power supply
- Units are typically electric, commonly requiring a 3-phase supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for industrial use, though smaller models might be single-phase.
- Tipping height
- The maximum tipping height is a critical dimension, typically ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 metres, depending on the model and intended receiving equipment.
- Construction material
- Food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) is standard for all contact parts and often the main frame, ensuring hygiene and durability.
- Mobility
- As a mobile unit, it will feature lockable castors for easy repositioning within a facility.
- Safety features
- Common safety features include emergency stop buttons, safety cages or light curtains, and interlocks to prevent operation during maintenance.
- Footprint
- The base footprint typically ranges from 1m x 1m to 1.5m x 1.5m, varying with capacity and maximum tipping height.
