Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 100 kg/hr to over 1000 kg/hr, depending on product density and desired coating thickness.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements based on motor size.

Construction material

Flavouring drums are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, especially in food processing applications.

Footprint

Overall length for mobile units in this category commonly ranges from 1500mm to 2500mm, with widths and heights varying based on drum diameter and support frame.

Mobility

Many units are designed to be mobile, featuring lockable castors for flexible placement within a production facility.

Integration

Often includes an integrated vibratory sieve or feeder for controlled product input and to ensure even distribution of flavourings.
