Equipment Description

The Blodgett KLT/KPT series are deep type, tilting kettles with direct steam-heated 2/3 jackets. The stainless steel kettles have welded, reinforced rims and butterﬂy shaped pouring lips. The liner and pouring lip of all kettles are 316 stainless steel. They are ASME shop-inspected, and are registered with the National Board. The kettles have a 180 emery grit interior ﬁnish and a bright semi-deluxe exterior ﬁnish.

Every unit requires a remote steam source. The steam supply is controlled by an inlet valve, and enters the jacket through one trunnion directly into the jacket. Steam pressure forces condensate out a dip tube through the other trunnion. Both steam and condensate lines are concealed within the support structures of the various models. The tale at bottom right shows the standard kettle sizes for each model.

These kettles operate safely and efﬁciently at various steam pressures above ﬁve PSI, with upper pressure limits assured by the provided safety valve. Operation also requires a globe valve on the steam inlet and a strainer, steam trap, and check valve on the condensate outlet. These may be ordered as optional equipment.

Kettles are emptied by tilting, but optional tangent draw-offs are available. The standard draw-off is two inch outer diameter stainless steel, with compression disc valve and a removable stainless steel strainer that has 1/4 inch perforations. Strainers with 1/8 inch or no perforations are also available. The table on the bottom right shows the sizes of draw-offs which can be furnished with each model.

The kettles in this series employ a worm and gear tilting mechanism, which is completely enclosed.

The kettles are mounted in two ways. The KPT Model is suspended in a stainless steel yoke on a pedestal base. The outer circumference of the base is ﬂanged down for proper sealing to the ﬂoor. The KLT Model is supported by a tubular, stainless steel tri-leg frame with adjustable ﬂoor ﬂanges.

Options include:

1. Lift-off cover (for kettles smaller than 60 gallons)

2. Cover with counter-balancing actuator (for 40 gallon and larger kettles)

3. Fill faucets with swing spout

4. Basket cooking system

5. Kettle brush kit

6. Operating pressures up to 90 PSIG
