2.0 INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
All electrically powered kettles described and referred to in this manual are pressure vessels
of a double-wall construction forming a sealed jacket (chamber) enveloping the lower two
thirds of the kettle bowl surface.
The kettle bowl is the container for the food product which ideally should be a liquid or
semi-liquid consistency to achieve complete contact with the bowl surface. Food products
will fully absorb the heat transmitted through that surface from the pressurized steam
generated in the kettle jacket.
The jacket is intended to function as a self contained sealed chamber with a permanent solution
of water and antifreeze sufficient not only to immerse and thereby protect replaceable electric
heating elements, but also provide the steam source during the steam generating process.
The heating elements are thermostatically controlled to provide precise
temperatures throughout the range from slow simmer to rolling boil.
All tilting kettles are intended to be permanently floor mounted on legs with adjustable
flanged feet.
A sealed stainless steel tilt mechanism permits the kettle to tilt forward a full 90E for
complete emptying. The tilting mechanism is self locking for positive stop action.
MIXER FEATURES
The mixer is a variable speed unit powered by a 5 hp electric motor driving a hydraulic pump.
Two heavy duty hydraulic motors drive the primary scraper/agitator and secondary high speed
mixer. Both are removable without tools for cleaning. They are housed in a stainless steel
bridge that is power tilted and swings 140E out of the way for tilting the kettle(s).
CAPACITIES
All models are suffixed with either -40, -60, -80 or -100 to indicate the capacity of that kettle
in US gallons. Models with the suffix -2 indicate a twin model. Thus a unit with suffix -40-2
has two 40 gallon kettles, one on each side of the mixer console. An ELTM-40 indicates a
single 40 gallon kettle two thirds jacketed electrically powered steam kettle.
