- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 150 to 300 litres per hour, depending on product viscosity and desired overrun.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage for the compressor and motor.
- Refrigerant
- Continuous freezers commonly utilise refrigerants such as R404A or similar HFC blends, though newer units may use more environmentally friendly alternatives.
- Air pump
- Units typically feature an integrated or external air pump for controlling overrun, which is crucial for product texture and volume.
- Control system
- The SP40BC control unit suggests a dedicated system for precise management of freezing parameters, air incorporation, and product flow.
- Materials of construction
- Product contact parts are typically made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.
- Footprint
- While specific dimensions vary, continuous freezers of this capacity typically require a floor space of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 0.8m to 1.2m in width, plus clearance for maintenance.
