Vulcan K40EL Details

Increase your production capabilities while saving energy and labor with this Vulcan K40EL 40 gallon stationary electric kettle! Boasting 18 kW of heating power and a 40 gallon capacity, this kettle allows you to prepare large batches of your signature soups, stews, or pasta. Vulcan's exclusive kettle design has up to 50% more working capacity than competitive brands, making it the perfect choice for busy industrial kitchens.

Thanks to the 2/3 jacketed design, this kettle has a larger heat transfer surface area for more thorough cooking. This means you'll have faster heat-up and cook times, and no hot spots or scorched products, which increases production and efficiency. Plus, faster cook times mean less energy used, so your utility bills will be lower. With more even heating, there is less need for frequent stirring or "pot watching." A spring assist hinged cover minimizes evaporation to help retain heat, and a drop down lift handle makes it easy to open and close the lid to access the kettle's contents.

This unit features user-friendly controls that allow you to warm, simmer, or boil your products. A low water cut-off and pressure limit switch make it as safe to use as it is efficient. The 304 type stainless steel construction is highly stain and corrosion resistant, which makes cleanup much easier. And, to further expedite the cleaning process, the kettle's ellipsoidal bottom directs products to a 2" draw off valve with a strainer. Flanged feet ensure superb stability. A 208V, 3 phase electrical connection is required.
