Equipment Description

A. ALL MODELS	The Groen TDC/3 and TDA/1 are tilting, table-top kettles with direct steam-heated
	jackets. The one-piece stainless steel body on each includes a butterfly shaped
	pouring lip. 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 support and rotary joint. Condensate leaves
	the jacket through the other rotary joint and support. Standard units are ASME shop
	inspected, stamped, and registered with the National Board. These kettles operate
	efficiently at pressures above five PSI. A safety valve, strainer, steam trap, and check
	valve are all required for installation, and may be ordered from Groen as optional
	equipment.
	Optional features and equipment include:
	• Higher maximum pressure	• Kettle brush kit
	• Lift-off covers	• Steam trap assembly
	• T5C table mounting	• Motor-driven agitator
	• Bracket inserts

B. MODEL TDC/3

C. MODEL TDA/1

The TDC/3 kettle has a 2/3 jacket rated for working pressures up to 55 PSI. The kettle body incorporates a triple reinforced rim. Two tubular steel supports support the swivel on which the kettle tilts. A leg projects from the bottom of the kettle.

The design of the TDC/3 makes it easy for one person to tilt the kettle with the tilting handle, even when the kettle is full.
