Stop sacrificing throughput for consistency. This 40-gallon direct-steam kettle with an integrated mixer combines sustained production capacity with precise agitation, allowing kitchens to deliver uniform results across large batches without increasing labor. Operators gain repeatable process control and faster turnaround for soups, sauces, and large-volume preparations.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug equipment and let surfaces cool. Remove food debris and use mild detergent with warm water to scrub the 316 stainless steel liner and exterior. Rinse and dry to prevent corrosion. Clean the 2" flush-mounted ball valve and tilt mechanism, lubricate pivot points, and check etch marks. Degrease vents and surrounding surfaces to reduce fire risk. Clean condenser coils and check seals to lower energy use. Run a sanitizing solution on food-contact areas.#@@#Additional Info#@#Groen DL-40, TA/3 40-gallon direct-steam tilting kettle with 2/3 jacket, 316 stainless steel liner, twin-shaft scraper mixer, 2" flush ball valve, control console, 50 PSI steam rating, 1.7 kW motor, 520 pounds, 208v.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop sacrificing throughput for consistency. This 40-gallon direct-steam kettle with an integrated mixer combines sustained production capacity with precise agitation, allowing kitchens to deliver uniform results across large batches without increasing labor. Operators gain repeatable process control and faster turnaround for soups, sauces, and large-volume preparations.
#@@# Kettle Capacity#@#
The unit offers a 40-gallon working capacity designed for high-volume kitchens and institutional feeding programs. Facility managers can scale batch sizes without staging multiple smaller pots, reducing cycle counts and labor hours while maintaining consistent product yield.
#@@# Mixing System#@#
A console-mounted twin shaft scraper mixer provides continuous agitation and prevents product cling on vessel walls. Chefs achieve uniform texture and heat distribution across viscous mixes, while the scraper action reduces manual intervention and simplifies finish consistency.
#@@# Steam Performance#@#
The direct-steam design operates at up to 50 PSI to deliver rapid heat transfer and reduced cook times. Foodservice teams can accelerate production schedules and hold closer process windows, improving throughput for service peaks and multi-shift operations.
#@@# Construction Materials#@#
The interior features a 316 stainless steel liner with full stainless exterior construction that resists corrosion in demanding kitchen environments. Maintenance crews encounter fewer surface pitting issues, and sanitation cycles become more predictable due to the material’s chemical resistance.
#@@# Tilt Mechanism#@#
A tilt-type vessel integrated with a 2" flush-mounted ball valve enables controlled discharge and safe transfer of hot product. Line cooks and catering staff reduce lift risks and portioning errors while minimizing residual product left in the kettle during dump operations.

Inspect steam jacket fittings at 50 PSI for leaks before each shift; tighten or replace seals as needed. Lubricate tilt pivot and mixer shafts monthly with food-grade lubricant. Sanitize interior surfaces after each production run using approved cleaners and rinse thoroughly. Verify console controls and 2" ball valve operate smoothly; calibrate temperature sensors quarterly.
