Features and options Compacta
4.4.1
Canisters
The Compacta has a fixed combination of canister sizes of 3 and 5 liters.
The canisters can be chosen in plastic (POM) or stainless steel (depending on the type of
colorant) and are compatible with every type of colorant. Each canister has a stirrer that stirs at
20Rpm during the re-circulation or a dosing cycle. As you can see in picture 4-4 the stirrer has
been developed to guarantee the best mixing avoiding settling or the drying of the colorant. The
stirring motor is independent and very easy exchangeable.
