- Typical capacity
- Throughput for this class of equipment can range from several hundred kilograms to over a tonne per hour, depending on product type and slice thickness.
- Power supply
- Commonly requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements for the slicer, cooker, and conveyors.
- Footprint
- A complete line of this type, including slicer, cooker, and cooling conveyor, typically requires a significant floor area, often exceeding 10-15 metres in length.
- Slicing method
- Grote slicers commonly utilise a rotary or orbital slicing action, known for precision and high yield.
- Cooking technology
- Formcook Teflon belt cookers typically employ contact cooking for efficient heat transfer and consistent product quality.
- Cooling method
- Wire belt cooling conveyors with air knives are commonly used to rapidly reduce product temperature and remove surface moisture.
- Material construction
- Units of this type are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.
