STEAM JACKETED KETTLES

Determining Kettle Size

Groen Steam Jacketed Kettles are available in a wide range of types, styles and capacities. There is a Groen kettle that is perfect for your operation, menu mix and production volume requirements.

All kettles require head space of “freeboard” for safe operation. Nominal kettle capacity is the calculated maximum volume when filled to the rim. You need a minimum of 2-3” of clearance below the rim for stirring and to avoid boil-over, etc. This working capacity is about 80% of rim or nominal capacity and the figure you should use in determining kettle size.
