Cassini Tilting Kettle – 20 Litre

The single electric cooking unit consists of a 20 litre steam jacketed pot mounted on a side pedestal (steam unit mounted between two pedestals) and complete with loose stainless steel lid.  The twin configuration consists of 2 x 20 litre pots mounted on a centre pedestal with side pedestal supports.  The torispherical shaped jacket is manufactured from grade 304 stainless steel.

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

Our safety features for electric pots include a shunt trip mechanism, two pressure switches and a tamper proof safety valve (also fitted to our direct steam pots). 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).
