- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, individual cooking tanks commonly range from 200 to 1000 litres, with this unit featuring two 350L tanks.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Construction material
- Jacketed cooking systems are almost universally constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Temperature control
- Adjustable temperature control is standard, often allowing for precise heating up to 120°C or higher depending on the heating medium.
- Mixing capability
- Integrated mixing systems, often with variable speed, are common to ensure even heat distribution and prevent product scorching.
- Pump types
- Centrifugal pumps like the Alfa Laval GM1 are typically used for transferring low-viscosity liquids, while peristaltic pumps such as the Randolph 600 series are suitable for more viscous or shear-sensitive products.
- Footprint
- Skid-mounted systems are designed for a compact footprint, but buyers should confirm exact dimensions for installation planning.
