Groen FT-20 20 Gallon Steam Jacketed Kettle - 2/3 Jacket, Stationary, Tubular Legs, Direct Steam

Groen builds the FT-20 to 20 gallons with no burner, no element and no tilt gear. A stand under the vessel holds the rim level and is fixed to the floor. It takes its heat from the house steam main, which means no burner and no element in the machine and nothing added to the kitchen's heat load.

Two thirds of the vessel is jacketed, so the heated surface runs well up the sides instead of sitting under the product. Anywhere between 5 and 25 PSI will run it, and 25 PSI is the limit on the sheet. 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, as the sheet specifies. A 180 grit interior is specified, which shows every time the vessel is washed. The liner is type 316 stainless, and that grade is what carries an acidic menu year after year. The listings are NSF and ASME. There are no removable parts inside to lose or replace.
