New Rotary Dip Wheel - New Rotary Dip Whee

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for controlled rotation and dipping of products in coatings, glazes, or other liquids.
• Commonly found in confectionery for chocolate coating, bakery for icing, and food processing for marinades or brines.
• Applicable in industries requiring uniform surface treatment or coating of small to medium-sized items.
• Utilised for precise indexing and positioning of items for subsequent processing steps.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacity typically ranges from small batch processing to continuous operation, depending on the wheel diameter and number of dipping stations.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, power requirements are typically single-phase or three-phase electricity, often 230V or 400V, with a low to moderate power consumption for the motor.

Construction material

Typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for contact parts, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance, especially in food processing applications.

Footprint

The footprint for a rotary dip wheel can vary significantly, but typically ranges from 1m x 1m for compact units to larger dimensions for higher throughput systems.

Rotation speed

Adjustable rotation speeds are common, allowing for precise control over dipping time and coating thickness, typically controlled via a variable speed drive.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance typically involves regular cleaning of contact surfaces, lubrication of bearings, and periodic inspection of the drive system and seals.
