Here are the general technical and engineering specifications for the Cleveland American Steam Jacketed Tilting Kettle [2.1, 2.21]:
1. Design & Construction
Material: The outer shell and inner cooking pot are made entirely of high-quality, acid and rust-resistant stainless steel for easy cleaning [2.1].
Jacketed Design: The pot is enclosed by a double wall covering the lower two-thirds (2/3) of the kettle's height, pre-filled with distilled water from the factory for closed-loop, repeated steam generation [2.1, 2.21].
Tilting Mechanism: Features precision gears connected to a circular manual hand wheel, ergonomically designed to allow smooth and complete tilting (up to 90 degrees) for emptying food contents and cleaning [2.1, 2.21].
2. Technical & Electrical Specifications
Standard Capacity: The model is available in common sizes ranging from 25 gallons (approx. 95 liters) to 40 gallons (approx. 150 liters) [2.1, 2.18].
Power Type: This model is electrically operated and available with power options (3 Phase) with voltages suitable for central kitchens (380-415 Volts) [2.20].
Thermostat: Equipped with a precise solid-state temperature control that maintains desired temperatures between 65 and 120 degrees Celsius.
3. Safety Features
Pressure Gauge: A front-mounted mechanical indicator for clear monitoring of internal steam pressure to ensure safe operation [2.1].
Safety Relief Valve: Automatically discharges steam if internal pressure exceeds permissible limits (typically at 50 PSI).
Low-Water Cutoff: An automatic protection system that immediately shuts off the heaters if the water level inside the double wall drops, to prevent burning internal components [2.20].
