Groen DH-60A 60 Gallon Steam Jacketed Kettle - Manual Tilt, Natural Gas

Where stock and chili are made 60 gallons at a time, the DH-60A replaces a bank of pots with one tilting vessel. Floor mounting sets the rim at a height where a transport pan can catch the pour. Because it fires its own steam, a kitchen without a boiler can still run a jacketed vessel of this size.

Steam condensing on the outside of the vessel does the heating, which is why a thick product can be held rather than stirred constantly. Gas input is 150,000 BTU/hr, and the jacket carries a 50 PSI maximum. One operator works the crank, and the mechanism holds its position when the handle is released.

Groen builds the vessel in type 316 stainless, welded up as one piece, so there is no lap joint inside to hold a residue. Lining is 316 stainless, and that grade is what carries an acidic menu year after year. Three control packages are available: Classic, Advanced and Cook2Temp. The listings are CSA, NSF and ASME.

Footprint is 47 Inch by 29 Inch, with an overall height of 46-1/4 Inch, 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.
