• Multi-position adjustable upper electrode system to accommodate different product sizes and shapes.
• Wide conveyor belt for a broad range of sizes and weights; standard configuration handles pieces from a few kg up to 30 kg and products up to 23 cm in height.
• Machine dimensions and configuration customisable on request to process larger or heavier blocks.
• Different conveyor belt types available depending on product and packaging.
