Equipment Description

The direct steam heated kettles covered in this manual are one-piece, welded
constructions of 18.8 type 304 stainless steel, which are listed by the National Sanitation
Foundation. They have bar rims with a continuous seal weld on the underside. The
kettles are ASME shop inspected, and registered with the national board for operation at
pressures up to 25 PSI. They are finished to 180 emery grit interior, and a bright semi­deluxe exterior. The table on page 4 shows standard kettle sizes.

Steam from a remote source passes directly into the jacket. Steam pressure forces
condensate out through the condensate outlet. The units operate safely and efficiently
at steam pressures from five to 25 PSI. A safety valve works to release any pressure
above the 25 PSI limit. If required, higher jacket pressure (PSI) kettles can be provided. A
globe valve is required on the steam inlet, and a strainer, steam trap and check valve are
needed on the condensate outlet. Each of these may be ordered as an option.

The kettles are emptied by tangent draw-offs. The standard draw-off on current
models is a compression disk type, fabricated from 316 stainless steel with a 2 inch
outer diameter (O.D.). The draw-off has a removable stainless steel strainer which has
¼ inch perforations. Options for the draw-off include a three-inch O.D., a strainer with
1/8 inch perforations, and a solid disk strainer.

Models KPS and KLS are deep kettles with 2/3 jackets. On units with capacities of 40
gallons or less, a one-piece hinged stainless steel dome cover is furnished. On larger
units the cover is counter-balanced with a spring-assisted actuator.

Model KLS stands on stainless steel, tubular legs, that are continuously welded to the
kettle. The legs are fitted with adjustable stainless steel floor flanges.

Model KPS stands on a stainless steel pedestal base. The outer surface of the base is
flanged down vertically to permit proper sealing to the floor or deck. These units are
provided with a standard faucet bracket.
