- Typical capacity
- Designed to handle standard bulk bags (FIBCs) ranging from 500 kg to 2000 kg.
- Power supply
- Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, for any integrated vibrators or hoists.
- Construction material
- Units for food processing are typically constructed entirely from stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or AISI 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Height adjustment
- Often features a telescopic extension element, allowing for optimal adjustment to accommodate various bulk bag heights and downstream equipment.
- Discharge method
- Typically employs a controlled discharge mechanism, such as an iris valve or pneumatic flow control, to manage product flow.
- Footprint
- The footprint for this class of equipment varies but is designed to be self-supporting, requiring adequate floor space for stability and operation.
- Maintenance requirements
- Generally low maintenance, primarily involving routine cleaning and inspection of moving parts and seals.
