Groen PT-40 40 Gallon Steam Jacketed Kettle - 2/3 Jacket, Stationary, Pedestal Base, Direct Steam

Groen builds the PT-40 to 40 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. Because the steam is piped in rather than generated, there is nothing on the machine to fire, vent or service.

Two thirds of the vessel is jacketed, so the heated surface runs well up the sides instead of sitting under the product. Groen gives an operating range of 5 to 25 PSI. Nothing pivots: the vessel is fixed to its mounting and stays level from the first charge to the last.

Groen builds the vessel in type 316 stainless, welded up as one piece. A 180 emery grit interior is specified, which shows every time the vessel is washed. The wetted liner is 316 stainless, which is the grade to specify where brine and acid are in the vessel daily. The cover is a hinged dome, which is what Groen fits on the smaller vessels. The listings are NSF and ASME.
