- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, transfer rates commonly range from 50 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on product density and conveying distance.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically operate on a three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with pneumatic air for vacuum generation.
- Material of construction
- Process contact parts are typically stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316L) to meet hygiene and corrosion resistance standards.
- ATEX certification
- These units are certified for use in hazardous areas, commonly Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22, as per Directive 2014/34/EU.
- Vacuum source
- Integrated vacuum pumps or external vacuum systems are typically used, often venturi-based or rotary vane types.
- Control system
- Units commonly feature electronic control panels for automated operation, batching, and safety interlocks.
