Groen EE-40 40 Gallon Steam Jacketed Kettle - Stationary, 208V 3-Phase

The EE-40 stands on the floor on its own legs and carries 40 gallons without pivoting. Elements heat water in a sealed reservoir and the jacket takes its steam from there, which keeps the whole heat path inside the machine. It replaces a rank of pots rather than a single one.

Heat reaches the food through a steam jacket rather than a heated plate, and condensing steam holds one temperature across the whole heated surface. Groen caps jacket pressure at 30 PSI. No tilt gear is fitted, which is a deliberate trade of a pour against one less assembly to service.

The body is type 316 stainless, welded up as one piece, which is why cleaning is a wash rather than a strip-down. The wetted liner is 316 stainless, and that grade is what carries an acidic menu year after year. The cooking temperature is held by a thermostat while a water level sight glass and a pilot light report what the jacket is doing, backed by a built-in contactor. The listings are UL, NSF and ASME.

It is wired for 208 V three phase, so the panel work is part of the project rather than an afterthought. Leveling happens at installation, and after that the kettle is part of the room. Access for cleaning is worth designing in rather than working around.
