- Typical operator stations
- Units of this type commonly feature 8-12 operator stations, with this specific unit designed for ten.
- Throughput
- Throughput for this class of equipment is highly variable, depending on operator skill and product type, but typically aims to optimise continuous flow from upstream processes.
- Power supply
- Commonly requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage dependent on motor and control system requirements.
- Construction material
- Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Water supply
- Requires a continuous supply of potable water for cleaning and operator water pistols.
- Footprint
- The overall footprint will depend on the number of operator stations and conveyor lengths, but for a ten-station unit, it will require a significant dedicated area within a processing hall.
- Control system
- Often features an integrated PLC-based control system for monitoring flow, operator performance, and line speed.
