- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 to 1,000 litres, depending on the specific model and intended use.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate power ratings for heating elements and agitators.
- Heating method
- Sollich vessels commonly utilise indirect heating, often via a double jacket for hot water or thermal oil, ensuring gentle and even temperature distribution.
- Agitation
- Most Sollich mixing vessels feature an integrated agitator, typically with variable speed control, suitable for viscous products.
- Material of construction
- The product contact parts are generally constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.
- Temperature control
- Units are commonly fitted with precise temperature control systems, often digital, to maintain product integrity during heating and holding.
