Advance Information*

Overview of Steam Jacketed Kettle

The Steam Jacketed Kettle from PROPAC is an industrial-grade cooking device designed for various applications, including the preparation of pulp, juices, sugar syrup, and brine solutions. Crafted for efficiency, durability, and versatile performance, this equipment is a staple in many commercial kitchens and food processing facilities.

Key Features and Benefits

Superior Material Quality

The Steam Jacketed Kettle is made from high-quality stainless steel, available in two grades: - SS 304: Known for its excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, this grade is suitable for low-pressure applications and environments where dealing with unusual temperatures and chemical exposure isn’t critical. - SS 316: Known for its superior resistance to corrosion and better overall durability, this grade is ideal where the operational environment is more challenging, including higher salinity or chemical exposure.

Efficient Heat Distribution

With a 2/3rd jacketed design, the kettle ensures uniform heat distribution throughout the cooking process. This feature minimizes the risk of burning or undercooking and ensures consistent product quality.

Versatile Tilting Mechanism

The steam jacketed kettle is available in two types: - Tilting Kettle: This design allows for easy pouring of the cooked preparation, minimizing manual labor and reducing the risk of spillage or waste. - Fixed Type Kettle with Easy Open Lid: Suitable for processes that require a secure and stable cooking environment, this type also offers an easy-open lid for quick access and inspection.
