- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 2,000 to 6,000 birds per hour (BPH), depending on configuration and automation level.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate motor ratings for conveyors and drives.
- Footprint
- A 7.5-meter cone line will require a significant linear space, typically around 7.5 meters in length, plus additional room for access and associated equipment.
- Construction material
- Components in contact with product are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.
- Water requirements
- These lines commonly require a continuous supply of potable water for washing and sanitation processes.
- Maintenance
- Regular cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, and inspection of cones and chains are typically required to ensure operational efficiency and hygiene.
