- Typical capacity
- Cooking kettles of this class commonly range from 50 litres to 500 litres, with larger industrial units exceeding 1000 litres.
- Power supply
- Units typically require a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for heating elements and agitator motors.
- Heating method
- This unit uses glycerine filling for indirect heating, providing even temperature distribution. Other common methods include steam jacketed or direct electric heating.
- Material construction
- For food contact, units are typically constructed from AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel to meet hygiene standards.
- Agitator control
- Variable speed control agitators are commonly found, allowing for precise mixing tailored to product viscosity and process requirements.
- Temperature control
- Digital temperature control systems are standard for accurate and repeatable process management.
- Mobility
- Many smaller to medium-sized cooking kettles are designed to be mobile, often fitted with castors for ease of repositioning within a facility.
