4 OM-KLT-E
The Blodgett KLT-E is a floor-mounted, tilting, steam jacketed kettle with a
thermostatically controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated steam supply and
appropriate controls, mounted on a sturdy base. The kettle is available in 20, 40 or 60
gallon capacities.
The body of the kettle is constructed of stainless steel, welded into one solid piece.
The kettle is furnished with a reinforced rim and a butterfly shaped pouring lip. It has a
steam jacket rated for working pressures up to 50 PSI. Kettle finish is 180 emery grit
on the inside and bright semi-deluxe on the outside.
The kettle can be tilted with a hand crank to pour out its contents. Stainless steel
panels enclose the controls and the base. Four stainless steel, tubular legs support the
unit. Bullet feet on each of the legs can be adjusted to level the kettle.
A built-in steam generator, sized for the kettle capacity and heated by electricity,
delivers steam into the jacket. “Airless” operation of the steam jacket permits uniform,
efficient heating at temperatures as low as 150°F and as high as 298°F. In addition to
the adjustable thermostat for operating control, the unit has a tilt cut-off switch, low
water cut-off, safety valve, and high limit pressure switch as safety features. A heating
indicator light, pressure gauge, and sight glass are provided for monitoring kettle
operation.
A single electrical connection is required for installation. The unit may be ordered
for use with 208/240, 400 or 480 volt power. All kettles are wired for three-phase
operation. Single-phase units are also available.
