1.3Equipment Description

The automatic, high-volume Electric Cooker models ESW and EWBS are specifically designed for rethermalizing pre-cooked packaged foods, boiling seafood, or cooking fresh foods and pasta. All models are capable of delivering up to 50 pounds (26 kg) of product per hour.

Model Comparison:

17EC/17ECS: The 17EC and 17ECS series feature two 8.5-kilowatt heating elements in a

16.5gallon (62.5 liter) stainless steel cookpot. A specially modified SMS II computer controls the cooking process and the automatic filling (Autofill) and automatic skimming (Autoskim) features. The Autoskim feature sprays water onto the surface of the water, forcing starch across to the overflow drain. This eliminates loss of cooking time associated with removing excess starch buildup. It also keeps the cooking water at the optimum level by replacing water evaporated during the cooking process. These models are also equipped with automatic basket lifts. The cookpot is safeguarded against over filling and boilover by a large overflow drain and a starch diverter. “SD” following the model designation indicates a stainless steel cookpot and door, and an enameled cabinet. “SC” following the model designation indicates all stainless steel components. The 17ECS model consists of a cooker and rinse tank combined in a single cabinet. The 17EC model has no rinse tank. Both models have a manually operated faucet equipped with a flexible hose.

ESW: The ESW series features a 13-kilowatt cookpot holding 16.5 gallons (62.5 liters) of water. A rocker-type ON/OFF switch controls electrical power to the unit. A manually adjusted thermostat regulates water temperature, and a 3-position rocker switch (BOIL- IDLE-SIMMER) controls power to the heating element. The unit also has two rocker switches for adding water to the unit. The FAUCET switch opens a normally closed solenoid valve to add water through a swing-away faucet. The SKIM switch opens a normally closed solenoid valve to add water through a spray nozzle mounted on the front of the cookpot. The skim feature sprays water onto the surface of the water, forcing starch to the overflow drain. This eliminates loss of cooking time associated with removing excess starch buildup. The cookpot is safeguarded against over filling and boilover by a large overflow drain. “SD” following the model designation indicates a stainless steel cookpot and door, and an enameled cabinet. “SC” following the model designation indicates all stainless steel components.

EWBS: The EWBS series replaced the ESW series. Models feature a 13-kilowatt heating element in a 16.5-gallon (62.5-liter) cookpot. The control options available include an operating thermostat and switch panel (identical to that on the ESW, described on the
