Groen D-20 20 Gallon Steam Jacketed Kettle - 2/3 Jacket, Manual Tilt, Pedestal Base, Direct Steam

At 20 gallons the D-20 takes its heat from the house main and empties by tipping forward. A yoke stand carries it at floor level and lets the whole vessel tip. The jacket is charged from the plant main, so the kettle has no reservoir and no combustion of its own.

Two thirds of the vessel is jacketed, so the heated surface runs well up the sides instead of sitting under the product. Operating pressure is 5 to 25 PSI and maximum working pressure is 25 PSI. Emptying is by self-locking worm and gear tilt, so the vessel holds whatever angle it is left at during the pour.

Groen puts 316 stainless where the food is and 304 outside it in one welded piece, which is why cleaning is a wash rather than a strip-down. The liner is type 316 stainless, chosen for product that would pit a lighter grade over time. Operation comes down to a hand crank for the tilt; nothing else has to be set. It is listed NSF and ASME.
