The Vulcan K40GL stationary steam kettle is a powerful and versatile piece of kitchen equipment designed to meet the demands of high-volume cooking. With a 40-gallon true working capacity, this gas-powered kettle is perfect for large-scale food production, including soups, sauces, and stews. Built with durability and ease of use in mind, it offers consistent cooking results while being easy to maintain and operate.
Key Features:
High-Capacity Design: The Vulcan K40GL is designed with a 40-gallon capacity, ideal for large batches in commercial kitchens. It includes embossed measurement markings in both gallons and liters, with increments of 5 gallons, allowing operators to accurately measure product quantities and ensure consistency.
2/3 Jacket with 50 PSI Rating: The kettle’s steam jacket is rated for 50 psi and is permanently filled with treated distilled water to ensure efficient heat distribution. This design guarantees even heating and reduces the risk of hot spots during cooking.
Ellipsoidal Liner Design: The kettle’s interior features a formed, ellipsoidal design, which directs the product to the 2-inch draw-off valve for easy draining. The perforated strainer in the valve ensures that solids are filtered out during the draining process, leaving a smooth finished product.
Durable Stainless Steel Construction: The kettle is constructed with high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The spring-assisted hinge on the cover minimizes evaporation and helps retain heat, while the drop-down lift handle makes it easy to open and close the lid.
Easy-to-Use Controls: The Vulcan K40GL features user-friendly, solid-state temperature controls, allowing precise adjustments for various cooking applications, including warm, simmer, and boil settings. The power indicator light illuminates when the unit is on, providing clear visibility. The low water light and low water shut-off system monitor water levels and alert the operator when levels are unsafe.
Safety Features: The pressure relief valve ensures the kettle operates safely within optimal pressure ranges, while the vacuum and pressure gauges provide additional safety monitoring. The controls are enclosed in stainless steel to protect them from splashes and potential damage.
Stationary Design: The kettle’s stationary design, with flanged feet, ensures stability and can be bolted securely to the floor for use in high-demand environments. Its overall dimensions of 36.7" W x 37.55" D x 69" H (with cover opened) make it suitable for installation in large kitchens or food service areas.
