F-40LE 40-gal. Steam Kettle - Stationary, 2/3 Jacket, 208v/3ph
F-40LE Description
The Market Forge F-40LE steam kettle can hold 40 gallons of product. The 316 stainless steel liner is made with more nickel than 304 stainless steel, so it can resist corrosion caused by tomato-based food and other high-acid products. Operators can drain stock through the 2-inch draw-off valve while the strainer catches food debris to prevent clogging. The kettle has a two-third jacket around its lower section that evenly distributes heat throughout the kettle and prevents scorching along the bottom. This design requires less power and water compared to fully jacketed units but does not heat as quickly or evenly.
Temperatures in the Market Forge F-40LE steam kettle range from 165 to 285 degrees Fahrenheit with 50 pounds per square inch of pressure. A power switch and thermostat enable users to activate and monitor the heating elements, and a pilot light turns off once the set temperature is met. The unit’s vacuum pressure is monitored by a gauge and is kept from exceeding maximum levels by an automatic safety valve. This unit can be secured to the floor with its flanged feet.
