Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 to 1000 litres, with 300 litres being a frequently encountered size.

Heating method

Units of this type typically utilise indirect heating, often via steam (requiring an external steam generator) or thermal oil, for precise temperature control.

Mixing mechanism

Scraped surface agitators are standard, designed to prevent product burn-on and ensure homogeneous mixing, especially for viscous products.

Discharge method

Tipping kettles are common, allowing for efficient and complete discharge of cooked product.

Construction material

Food contact parts are typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Power supply

Electrical requirements for controls and motor typically involve a 3-phase supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Footprint

The footprint for a 300-litre unit typically requires approximately 1.5m x 1.5m of floor space, plus access for operation and maintenance.
