Groen DH-40A 40 Gallon Steam Jacketed Kettle - Manual Tilt, Natural Gas

40 gallons is the working charge of the DH-40A, and the vessel rotates to empty it. It stands on the deck in its own support, with the trunnion built into the same assembly. A self-contained steam source under the vessel is fired on natural gas, so the kettle needs a fuel connection and ventilation but no boiler behind it.

The heat path runs from steam to wall to food, and the wall never exceeds the temperature of the steam behind it. Groen rates the burner at 100,000 BTU/hr, and the jacket carries a 50 PSI maximum. Cranking rather than pushing means a full vessel moves at a chosen speed.

The kettle is built in 316 stainless, welded rather than bolted together, so there is no lap joint inside to hold a residue. The wetted liner is 316 stainless, chosen for product that would pit a lighter grade over time. Three control packages are available: Classic, Advanced and Cook2Temp. It carries CSA, NSF and ASME listings.

The space to allow is 47 Inch by 29 Inch, with 43-1/8 Inch of height, which is the floor area to mark out before anything else is placed. The site needs natural gas at the burner and extraction over the kettle. The space in front of the kettle is where the vessel travels as it empties, so it stays clear.
