EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
Groen Model EE are floor-mounted, tilting, steam-jacketed kettles which have
thermostatically controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated steam supplies
and appropriate controls, mounted on a sturdy base. Heat produced by electric
heating elements boils water in a reservoir below the jacket to produce steam
under pressure.
The kettle is surrounded by air-insulated stainless steel sheathing. Stainless
steel panels enclose all of the controls. Three stainless steel, tubular legs
support the unit.
EE kettles are available in 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 gallon capacities. Kettle bodies
are welded into one piece. Models are all equipped with a sanitary tangent
draw-off (product faucet) valve and a stainless steel strainer. This standard
draw-off is two inches in diameter, and uses a compression disc valve. The unit
is controlled with a thermostat, which turns electric power on or off, and sets
the cooking temperature.
Instruments are provided to show what is happening inside the unit:
• Water gauge glass: shows the level of water within the steam jacket
• Pressure/vacuum gauge: shows the steam pressure and if there is air in the
jacket
• Indicator lamp: Lights when the kettle is being heated

Automatic controls within the unit:
• Contactor: Controlled by the thermostat, turns heating element power on or off
• Low-water cutoff: Turns off power to keep heating elements from overheating
if water loss exposes them above the water level.
• Safety valve: Releases steam if jacket pressure gets too high
The jacket is filled at the factory with water that contains rust inhibitors. When
air is removed from the jacket, the kettle efficiently provides a uniform heating
temperature range of 150oF to approximately 270oF (65 to 132oC). This range
allows the kettle to be used for warming, simmering, boiling or braising.
The interior of the kettle is polished to a 180 emery grit finish and the exterior is
given a uniform Number 4 finish. The unit is ASME shop inspected and registered
with the National Board for working pressures up to 30 PSI.
Optional equipment for the EE and AE kettles includes:
• Three inch draw-off valve
• 1/4" perforated or solid disc strainer
• Basket inserts (TRI-BC)
