Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
According to directory reference data, the working volume typically ranges from 5,000 to 30,000 liters, depending on hide processing capacity. However, exact values must be confirmed with the manufacturer for specific models.
Common materials include stainless steel (316L), fiberglass reinforced plastic, and rubber lining. The choice depends on the corrosive alkaline environment and operational requirements. Verify material grade and standards with the supplier.
The operating temperature is maintained between 20-30°C, and the pH is kept in the range of 12-13. These conditions are critical for effective hair removal and fiber swelling. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for precise control parameters.
The sealing standard is typically IP54 to IP65 per IEC 60529, providing protection against dust and water jets. However, compliance must be verified with the manufacturer, as standards may vary by model and application.
