NNP Rotary dip tank

Applications & Use Cases

• Washing and sanitising fresh produce such as fruits and vegetables.
• Pre-treatment of ingredients before further processing.
• Removing soil, debris, and surface contaminants from bulk items.
• Applying protective coatings or dips to food items.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product type and desired dwell time, but units commonly handle several hundred kilograms per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, for motor operation.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

A rotary dip tank, particularly a mobile unit, commonly requires a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m, plus space for access and loading/unloading.

Water usage

Water consumption varies with operation, but units typically feature drainage for efficient water management and potential recirculation systems.

Speed control

Variable speed drives are commonly found on units of this type, allowing adjustment of drum rotation for different products and processing requirements.
