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

Self-contained natural gas firing is what the DH-60C runs on, under 60 gallons of jacketed vessel. It stands on the deck in its own support, with the trunnion built into the same assembly. What it changes is how often the station has to be run.

Because the heating medium is steam in a jacket, the wall sits at the steam temperature and no hotter. Gas input is 150,000 BTU/hr and the jacket is rated to 50 PSI maximum. Tilting is crank-driven and self-locking, so a pour can be stopped part way and restarted without losing the angle.

Type 316 stainless carries the whole assembly, welded into a single piece, which leaves no internal seam for product to sit in. Lining is 316 stainless, chosen for product that would pit a lighter grade over time. Controls are offered in three packages, Classic, Advanced or Cook2Temp, and the choice is made at order rather than in the field. It carries CSA, NSF and ASME listings.

The space to allow is 47 Inch by 29 Inch, with 46-1/4 Inch of height, so the aisle either side has to allow for a loaded transport pan. Gas is the utility that drives the install: a supply to the burner and a ventilation path above it. The floor support should be level before the vessel is loaded, and the arc in front of it kept clear.
