- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 kg/h to 5,000 kg/h, depending on product type and specific design.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with power requirements varying based on motor size.
- Construction material
- As indicated, the primary contact parts and frame are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Footprint
- A de-stoner's footprint commonly ranges from 1.5m x 1m to 3m x 1.5m, requiring sufficient space for operation and maintenance access.
- Suitable feed size
- De-stoners are typically designed to handle a range of product sizes, from small grains to larger fruits, with specific sieve sizes determining suitability.
- Separation principle
- Most de-stoners operate using a combination of vibration, water flow, or air classification to separate heavier stones from lighter product.
