Description
The Crown 40-Gallon Natural Gas Stationary Steam Kettle is a high-output solution for industrial kitchens, and large-scale catering facilities requiring massive batch consistency. With a 40 gal. capacity, this gas-powered unit utilizes a 2/3 steam jacket to provide uniform heat across the vessel, preventing the hot spots and scorching. The interior is lined with 316 stainless steel, a premium material specifically chosen for its superior resistance to high-acid foods and salt, ensuring long-term durability in heavy-use environments.
Equipped with a 100,000 BTU burner system, the kettle features electronic ignition and a direct immersion thermostat for precise heat oversight. Safety and monitoring are integrated into the front control panel, which includes a water sight glass, pressure gauge, and a low-water indicator light with an automatic cut-off. These features allow staff to monitor the internal steam pressure and jacket water levels at a glance, maintaining a safe and efficient workflow during intense production cycles.
Standard features on the GL-40E focus on operator convenience and fast product removal. The 2" tangent draw-off valve allows for the rapid emptying of soups, sauces, and stocks, while the included TPS-2 perforated strainer prevents solids from clogging the drain. A spring-assisted hinged cover reduces the physical effort required to open the vessel, and a pre-installed faucet bracket simplifies the addition of water. Supported by a tri-leg base with flanged feet, this kettle is a stable and permanent fixture for any high-capacity kitchen.
