OM/SM-EE-CE 5
Groen Model EE is a floor-mounted, stationary, steam-jacketed kettle which has a
thermostatically controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated steam supply and
appropriate controls, mounted on a sturdy base. Heat produced by electric heating
elements boils water in a reservoir below the jacket to produce steam under pressure.
The kettle is surrounded by air-insulated stainless steel sheathing. Stainless steel
panels enclose all of the controls. Three stainless steel, tubular legs support the unit.
EE kettles are available in 20 and 40 gallon capacities. Kettle bodies are welded into
one piece. Models are all equipped with a 50 mm (2 inch) sanitary tangent draw-off
(product faucet) valve and a stainless steel strainer. This standard draw-off uses a
compression disc valve. The unit is controlled with a thermostat, which turns electric
power on or off, and sets the cooking temperature. Instruments are provided to show
what is happening inside the unit:
• Water gauge glass: Shows the level of water within the steam jacket
• Pressure/vacuum gauge: Shows the steam pressure and if there is air in the
jacket
• Indicator lamps: Light when the kettle power is turned on, when the elements are
heating the jacket and when the water level in the jacket is low
Automatic controls within the unit:
•
Contactor:
Controlled by the thermostat, turns heating element power on or off
•
Low-water cutoff:
Turns off power to keep heating elements from overheating if
water loss exposes them above the water level
•
Safety valve:
Releases steam if jacket pressure gets too high
The jacket is filled at the factory with treated water. When air is removed from the
jacket, the kettle efficiently provides a uniform heating temperature range of 65°C
to approximately 132°C (150 to 270°F). This range allows the kettle to be used for
warming, simmering, boiling or braising.
The interior of the kettle is polished to a 180 emery grit finish and the exterior is given
a uniform Number 3 finish. The unit is ASME Code designed and shop inspected to the
Pressure Equipment Directive for working pressures up to 206 kPa (30 psi).
Optional equipment for the EE kettles includes:
• 75 mm (3 inch) draw-off valve
• Perforated or solid disc strainer
• Basket inserts (TRI-BC)
• Water fill faucets
• Kettle brush kit
