STEAM JACKETED KETTLE WITH STANDARD 
ELECTRONIC IGNITION

MODELS DH(T)-20/40/60/80 & 
DH(T)-20/40/60/80(C,A) DOMESTIC & CE

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

The Groen DH is a floor-mounted, tilting, steam jacketed kettle with a 
thermostatically or electronically controlled, self-contained, gas-heated steam 
source and appropriate controls, mounted on a sturdy base. The Model DH is 
available in 20, 40, 60 or 80 gallon capacities.
The body of the DH 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, 3.45 bars. 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. Four stainless steel tubular legs 
support the unit. Bullet or flanged feet on each of the legs can be adjusted to 
level the kettle. Standard DHT units include a two inch tangent draw-off valve.
The self-contained steam source is heated by propane or natural gas. Ignition 
is electronic.
The kettle is charged at the factory with chemically pure water which contains 
rust inhibitors. The steam source provides kettle temperatures of 150º to 
approximately 295ºF (65 to 150ºC). Unit controls include a thermostat or 
controller, pressure gauge, safety valve, pressure limit control, low water cut-

off, power switch and gas regulator valve. The gas supply 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 115 
Volt (domestic) or 230V (CE). Alternate single-phase voltages (208-240V) are 
available.
