Typical Specifications

Typical vat capacity

Units of this type are typically designed to handle vats ranging from 500 litres to several thousand litres, depending on the frame's structural integrity and lifting mechanism.

Power supply

This specific unit is pneumatic, requiring a compressed air supply. For this class of equipment, electrical power (e.g., 400V 3-phase) is also common for hydraulic or electric motor-driven systems.

Material construction

As described, this unit is stainless steel, which is standard for food-grade and hygienic applications, ensuring corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Footprint

A compact, free-standing system typically requires a floor area commensurate with the largest vat it is designed to handle, plus operational clearance.

Wash-down rating

An IP65 rating is specified, indicating protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for full wash-down environments.

Lifting mechanism

This unit employs a pneumatic lifting mechanism. Hydraulic or electric screw-jack systems are also commonly found on units of this type.
