- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 litres to over 1,000 litres, with this unit specifically noted at 750 litres.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, for the motor and heating elements.
- Agitation type
- Scrape surface agitation is commonly found on units of this type, ensuring even heat distribution and preventing product scorching.
- Discharge mechanism
- Side or bottom discharge is standard for efficient emptying of viscous products like chocolate.
- Temperature control
- Kettles in this category typically feature precise temperature control systems to manage chocolate tempering curves.
- Motor control
- Variable speed control for the agitator is commonly included, allowing for flexibility in processing different product viscosities.
- Construction material
- Food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) is the standard material for contact parts to meet hygiene regulations.
