OM-TDB/TDBC-CE 5
The Groen TDB(C) is a table top, tilting, steam jacketed kettle with a thermostatically
controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated steam supply and appropriate controls,
mounted on a sturdy base. The Model TDB(C) is available in 20, 24, 40 and 48-quart
capacities (18.8, 22.6, 37.6 and 45.3 liters).
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 pressures up to 50 PSI 3.45 (3.45 Bar/345 kPa). Kettle finish is 180
emery grit on the inside and bright semi-deluxe on the outside. A tilt handle allows the
operator to manually tilt the kettle body in a controlled manner. A crank tilt model is also
available. Pouring height accepts pans up to 4 inches high on a table top.
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 (66°C) and as high as 295°F
(146°C). 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 230 Volt single phase, or 400 Volt three phase power.
