Non-Tilting Sauce Pot

The unit is a cooker-mixer consisting of a stainless steel boiling pot mounted on box type legs with bolt down adjustable feet. A inclined mixing apparatus is mounted to the side of the pot by means of a stainless steel bracket.  The variable speed of the mixer is controlled by means of a speed control toggle switch on the control box on the side of the pot.  The pot is hemispherical shaped and the steam jacket inner is manufactured from grade 316 stainless steel and the outer jacket in grade 304 stainless steel.

Please note that all models are available with or without lid.

A chrome water supply valve is fitted as standard to the front of the main pedestal.  The pedestal houses the electric controls with easy access to the electric components via a side panel.

The pot has been designed and constructed generally in accordance with PD5500 code: Specification for unfired fusion welded pressure vessels and conforms to the requirements of the “Pressure Equipment Regulations, No. R. 734 2009” of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Act No. 85 of 1993).  The pot is categorized and classified in terms of Figure 1, Graph for vessels – Dangerous gasses of SANS 347:2010 as a Hazard Category I.  A certificate of conformity will be supplied with the equipment from the manufacturer.

Recommended service information:

• Pots must be serviced and repaired only by authorised and accredited agents
