OM-DHS 5
The Groen DHS is a floor-mounted, tilting, steam jacketed kettle with an electronically
controlled, self-contained, gas-heated steam source and appropriate controls, mounted
on a sturdy base. The Model DHS is currently only available in a 40 gallon capacity.
The body of the DHS 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 which is ASME shop inspected and registered with the national board for
working pressures up to 50 PSI. Kettle finish is 180 emery grit on the inside and bright
high buff polish on the outside.
The kettle is tilted with a hand crank to pour out its contents. Stainless steel panels
enclose the controls and the base. A u-shaped frame with four stainless steel tubular
legs support the unit. Bullet feet on each of the legs can be adjusted to level the kettle.
Models with a “T” suffix are supplied with a two-inch tangent draw-off valve.
The self-contained steam source is heated by propane or natural gas. Electronic spark
to pilot ignition is standard for all units.
The kettle is filled at the factory with water which contains rust inhibitors. The steam
source provides kettle temperatures of 150º to approximately 295ºF (65 to 150ºC). Unit
controls include a temperature controller, pressure gauge, safety valve, pressure limit
control, low water cut-off, power switch and gas regulator valve. The gas burner shuts
off automatically when the kettle is tilted.
The unit must be specified for use with natural or propane gas. Service connections for
gas and electricity are required. Standard power supply is 120 VAC.
