- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 litres to several thousand litres, depending on the specific unit's design.
- Construction material
- Units of this type are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Power supply (for mixer paddles)
- If fitted with mixer paddles, these commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.
- Agitation type
- Units with mixer paddles commonly feature slow-speed agitators to prevent product separation or maintain homogeneity.
- Outlet configuration
- Outlets are typically located at the base, often with a conical design, to facilitate complete product discharge and minimise retention.
- Cleaning requirements
- Designed for ease of cleaning, often compatible with Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems for efficient sanitation.
