- Typical capacity
- This unit is specified at 2000 litres. For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 litres to over 5000 litres, depending on the model and intended application.
- Power supply
- Vacuum tumblers typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with power ratings varying based on motor size and vacuum pump capacity.
- Construction material
- Units of this type are almost exclusively constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Vacuum system
- A vacuum facility is standard, aiding in product absorption, reducing processing time, and improving product quality by removing air.
- Loading mechanism
- Integrated loaders are common on larger units, facilitating efficient and ergonomic loading of product into the drum.
- Control system
- Modern vacuum tumblers typically feature programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for precise control over tumbling speed, vacuum levels, and cycle times.
- Footprint
- The footprint for a 2000-litre unit, including the loader, will require substantial floor space, typically several square metres, and sufficient height clearance for loading.
