Groen AH/1E-80 80 Gallon Steam Jacketed Kettle - Stationary, Natural Gas

Production of stock and soup is the work the AH/1E-80 is sized for, at 80 gallons a charge. Legs under the vessel take the level out of the deck and then stay where they are set. Because it fires its own steam, a kitchen without a boiler can still run a jacketed vessel of this size.

Heat reaches the food through a steam jacket rather than a heated plate, and condensing steam holds one temperature across the whole heated surface. The sheet gives 30 PSI as the jacket maximum. No tilt gear is fitted, which is a deliberate trade of a pour against one less assembly to service.

Type 316 stainless carries the whole assembly in one solid piece. The liner is type 316 stainless, and that grade is what carries an acidic menu year after year. A thermostat sets the temperature, and a pressure gauge and indicator lights report what is happening inside, and a power switch sit behind the operating controls. The listings are CSA, NSF and ASME.

The AH/1E-80 measures 37-3/4 Inch by 46-1/4 Inch and stands 62-1/2 Inch high. Installation means running natural gas to the machine and taking the products of combustion away from it. A drain within reach matters, because the vessel is emptied where it stands.
