- Typical capacity
- Paddle mixers of this class commonly range from 100 litres to 500 litres, with 200 litres being a frequent mid-range option.
- Power supply
- Units of this size typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage for the motor.
- Construction material
- For food processing applications, stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) is standard for all product contact parts to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Mixing mechanism
- Twin shaft paddle designs are common, offering efficient and thorough mixing action for a variety of product viscosities.
- Discharge method
- Tilting discharge is a frequent feature, allowing for easy emptying of the mixed product directly into trolleys or conveyors.
- Footprint
- While exact dimensions vary, a 200-litre paddle mixer typically requires a floor space of approximately 1.5m x 1m, plus clearance for operation and maintenance.
