DESCRIPTION
The Blodgett KCH-DS kettles are direct steam tilting models mounted in a modular
cabinet base. It has a hydraulic pump and cylinder to tilt the kettle to any angle between
zero and ninety degrees for complete emptying of food products. Includes a pan carrier
that holds a 12" x 20" pan. (Pan not supplied.)
The KCH-DS are direct steam operated pressure vessels with a double wall stainless
steel construction forming a steam chamber (jacket) around the lower two thirds of the
kettle. These kettles are furnished with a steam control valve and a hot and cold water fill
faucet mounted on the stainless steel counter top. Every kettle has a pressure relief
valve. Access to the inner cabinet area for installation or service is through the
removable side panels or the doors on the front of the unit.
The kettle bowl is the container for the food product which ideally should be a liquid or
semi-liquid for complete contact with the bowl surface to fully absorb the heat
transmitted through the surface from the steam in the kettle jacket.
These kettles are intended to be permanently floor mounted with adjustable flanged feet.
