Cooking Kettle

SORGO cooking kettles are designed for the product, batch size and available energy supply. Electric, steam, gas and oil versions share the same durable stainless steel construction, safe operation and easily accessible surfaces for daily cleaning.

Heating types

• Electric: indirect thermal-oil heating for uniform heat distribution and gentle cooking; five sizes from 9 to 36 kW, no flue required.
• Steam (on request): for example the K400D with 425 litres usable capacity, 24 kW and a steam supply at 3–4 bar; external dimensions 125 × 120 × 92 cm, internal 105 × 90 × 45 cm, steam valves and steam traps included.
• Gas: indirectly heated with a stainless steel burner and automatic ignition; five sizes from 18.6 to 74.4 kW for natural gas, propane or butane; flue gas routing and connections planned per project.
• Oil (on request): same kettle construction as the gas version with oil firing; burner and connections designed per project.

Construction

• Sturdy, seamlessly welded chromium-nickel steel with rounded inner corners, all-round insulation and an insulated lid with silicone seal.
• Lockable 1¼-inch safety outlet and shaped inner base for complete emptying and easy cleaning.
• Water inlet integrated in the top plate or provided via front-mounted cold and hot water fittings, depending on configuration.

Options

• Stainless steel loading basket that can be lifted out with a lifting device.
• Additional core temperature probe.

Control

The MKA 120 control in a separate stainless steel cabinet (with main switch, contactors and switching components) regulates time and temperature: programme start freely selectable by date and time, audible signal at programme end, 2.7-inch OLED display (128 × 64 pixels, 16 grey levels). Data recording is available to document process values. The steam version, for example, has a separate MKA 120 with 0–150 °C control and a 7 m connection cable.
