- Typical throughput
- For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 1 to 3 blocks per minute, equating to approximately 1,200 to 3,600 kg per hour, depending on product density and block size.
- Suitable feed material
- Typically designed for solid blocks of cheddar cheese (around 20kg) or butter (around 25kg).
- Maximum block dimensions
- Units of this type commonly accommodate blocks up to 400 x 300 x 300 mm.
- Power supply
- Most industrial food processing equipment of this nature requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a power rating commonly between 2.2 kW and 5.5 kW.
- Construction material
- Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.
- Footprint
- For this category, the footprint can vary, but typically requires a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1m.
