Groen DL-60 60 Gallon Steam Jacketed Kettle - 2/3 Jacket, Manual Tilt, Tubular Leg Stand, Direct Steam

At 60 gallons the DL-60 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. There is no heat source of its own; the plant boiler supplies the steam and the kettle is only the vessel.

Jacketing runs to two thirds of the vessel height, so heat enters over an area rather than at a point. The stated operating band is 5 to 25 PSI. The crank drives a worm gear, which means a full vessel cannot run away mid-pour and the rate is whatever the cook chooses.

The interior is 316 stainless, the exterior 304, welded up as one piece, which is why cleaning is a wash rather than a strip-down. Type 316 stainless lines the vessel, the grade to have where tomato and salt are routine. 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. It is listed NSF and ASME.

The DL-60 measures 49 Inch by 49 Inch and stands 28 Inch high, and the clear space in front of it matters as much as the footprint. A steam supply and a condensate return are all it needs to be commissioned. A true stand gives a true tilt, so the floor under it is worth checking.
