Equipment Description

Groen Models TDHC and TDH are stainless steel, steam-jacketed, table top mounted kettles with a self-contained, gas heated steam source. The TDHC has a crank tilt hand wheel, and the TDH has a handle that allows the operator to manually tilt the kettle. The kettle body is welded into one solid piece and furnished with a reinforced rim and welded-in "butterfly" shaped pouring lip. The interior of the kettle is polished to a 180 emery grit finish, and the exterior is given a bright high buff finish.

The unit is A.S.M.E. shop inspected and registered with the National Board for a design pressure of 50 PSIG.

The self-contained steam source is heated by propane or natural gas and is equipped with electronic ignition. Charged at the factory with chemically pure water containing rust inhibitors, the steam source provides kettle temperatures of 150ºF to approximately 295oF.

Controls for the TDHC unit include a crank tilt handwheel, thermostat, pressure gauge, pressure relief valve, low water cut-off, On/Off switch, indicator lamp, gas regulator valve, and water level sight glass. Controls for the TDH are the same as the above, with the exception of the crank tilt hand wheel.

The gas supply shuts off automatically when the kettle is tilted.

The unit must be specified for use with natural gas or propane. For other gas types, consult factory. Service connections are required for gas and 115V electricity.
