Groen DL-80 80 Gallon Steam Jacketed Kettle - 2/3 Jacket, Manual Tilt, Tubular Leg Stand, Direct Steam

House steam does all the heating in the DL-80, a 80-gallon vessel with no burner and no element. The vessel hangs on trunnions in a stainless stand, free to rotate forward over a pan. It is bought where the batch is made in quantity rather than to order.

Because the jacket wraps two thirds of the wall, a thick product takes its heat from the side rather than from one spot on the bottom. Operating steam pressure is 5 to 25 PSI. Tilting runs through a self-locking worm gear and hand crank that holds any angle it is left at, so a full vessel can be poured in stages.

A 316 stainless interior sits inside a 304 body, welded up as one piece, so there is no lap joint inside to hold a residue. Type 316 stainless lines the vessel. Operation comes down to a hand crank for the tilt; nothing else has to be set. Groen lists the DL-80 to NSF and ASME.

It measures 56 Inch by 56 Inch and stands 39 Inch high, so the aisle either side has to allow for a loaded transport pan. The connections are steam in and condensate out, and there is no electrical service to arrange. The stand is anchored and leveled before the steam line is run to it.
