- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 litres to 500 litres, with 300 litres being a common mid-range size.
- Power supply
- Electrically heated kettles typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V or 415V, to deliver sufficient heating power.
- Heating method
- This unit is electrically heated, often utilising a jacketed design with heating elements to ensure even temperature distribution.
- Mixing features
- Units of this type commonly include an agitator with scrape-wall functionality to prevent product sticking and ensure homogeneous mixing.
- Discharge method
- Tilting mechanisms are a standard feature for efficient and controlled discharge of cooked product, often hydraulically or electrically actuated.
- Construction material
- Cooking kettles for food processing are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.
- Footprint
- The footprint for a 300-litre tilting kettle with mixing will require adequate space for the kettle body, control panel, and tilting mechanism, typically around 1.5m x 1.5m, plus operational clearance.
