Groen DL-20 20 Gallon Steam Jacketed Kettle - 2/3 Jacket, Manual Tilt, Tubular Leg Stand, Direct Steam

A yoke stand at floor level carries the DL-20, which holds 20 gallons and tips to pour. There is no heat source of its own; the plant boiler supplies the steam and the kettle is only the vessel. It takes a standing job off the range line.

The jacket covers the lower two thirds of the body, which puts heated metal alongside the batch as well as beneath it. The jacket works on house steam between 5 and 25 PSI. Emptying is by self-locking worm and gear tilt, so the vessel holds whatever angle it is left at during the pour.

The interior is 316 stainless, the exterior 304 in one welded 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. There is no control panel on a direct steam kettle of this kind: the crank is the only thing to operate, and the steam supply valve does the rest. Groen lists the kettle to NSF and ASME.

Footprint is 36 Inch by 36 Inch, with an overall height of 23 Inch, so the aisle either side has to allow for a loaded transport pan. Installation is pipework only: a steam supply to the jacket and a condensate line away from it, with no electrical work. The stand should be level before the trunnion is loaded, or the tilt will not run true.
