Equipment Description
The 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 as optional equipment.
Optional features and equipment include:
• Higher maximum pressure • Bracket inserts
• Lift-off covers • Kettle brush kit
• Open leg mounting table mounting • Steam trap assembly
The TDC/3 kettle has a jacket rated for working pressures up to 55 PSI. The kettle
body incorporates a reinforced rim. Two tubular steel supports support the swivel on
which the kettle tilts. A support leg projects from the bottom rear of the kettle.
