Groen TDB-24A 6 Gallon Steam Jacketed Kettle - 2/3 Jacket, Manual Tilt, Countertop

Set on a counter rather than on the deck, the TDB-24A brings 6 gallons to the line. Heating is by sealed element rather than by flame, so nothing about the installation involves a flue. It is bought where the batch is made in quantity rather than to order.

The jacket covers the lower two thirds of the body, which puts heated metal alongside the batch as well as beneath it. The sheet gives 50 PSI as the maximum working pressure. The operator tips the vessel directly, so the pour is as fast or as slow as the batch needs. A safety cut-off shuts the heat off once the vessel passes 12 degrees of tilt, so a tilted kettle cannot be left heating.

Every exposed surface is 304 stainless, welded up as one piece, which leaves no internal seam for product to sit in. Interior polishing runs to 180 emery grit, so there is little for product to cling to. The standard liner is 304 stainless, with 316 available as an alternative on order. The Classic package is a knob and lights, Advanced adds a timer and an LED display, and Cook2Temp adds a core probe. The listings are UL, NSF and ASME.

It is offered for 208 V or 240 V, single or three phase service; choose the electrical option above. Because it bolts down, the counter under it has to be able to carry the kettle full. The route the filled pans take is part of the layout rather than an afterthought.
