Steam Jacketed Kettles All products that otherwise might be prepared in a stockpot, can be prepared more quickly and efficiently in a Groen Steam Jacketed Kettle. There is a Groen Kettle that is perfect for your operation and menu requirements. 11 12 1 HyPerSteam Steamers (Counter-Top) HyPerSteam Steamers HyPerSteam Steamers Tilting Braising Pans The Groen Braising Pan is now considered the most versatile piece of cooking equipment available today. Excellent for pan frying, kettle & griddle cooking, and braising. The versatility of the Groen Braising Pan makes it ideal for foodservice operations of all sizes. 14 15 16 Kettle Options and Accessories & Sizing Guide Braising Pan Menu Guide HyPerSteam Menu & Features Guide HyPerSteam Steamers The Groen Hypersteam range of steamers is a true breakthrough in steamer technology. Atmospheric steam generators coupled with a powerful fan increase steam velocity. The result is faster cooking times with even cooking temperatures throughout.
Introduction to Steam Jacketed Kettles Groen Kettles Cook Faster A stock pot only transfers heat on the bottom. A kettle transfers heat through the entire jacketed bottom and sides. Steam jacketed kettles have -4 times more heat transfer surface area than the same size stock pot, which means faster heat up and faster cook times. Groen Kettles Are More Efficient Kettles transfer more of their energy into the food product. Range burners only heat the bottom of the stock pot and can be inefficient. Groen gas heated kettles are 58-65% efficient and electric models are even more efficient. Faster cook times mean less energy used and lower fuel bills. Direct steam kettles can operate from an existing steam source, for even greater energy savings. Groen Kettles Save Labour A single chef or cook can prepare larger batches of your soups and other popular menu specialties, in a steam kettle. With even heating and precise temperature control, there is less need for constant "pot watching" and frequent stirring. Gear assisted manual and power tilts make product transfer and portioning fast and easy. With larger single batch capabilities, you can reduce repetitive work and utilise more automated prep equipment. Kettles are major labour savers. Groen Kettles Improve Consistency & Reduce Product Loss From Burn-on Groen kettles don't have "hot spots" and don't require constant stirring to avoid product burn-on and scorching. Steam jacketed kettles are ideal for preparation of delicate sauces, cream based soups, dessert fillings and heat sensitive confections. Even unskilled employees can consistently cook, reheat and hold menu items, batch after batch, day after day. Groen kettles are more "forgiving" than range top preparation methods and they make employee training easier. Groen Kettles Reduce Heavy Lifting... Counterbalanced tilting kettles and models equipped with product drawoff valves reduce the need for heavy lifting and simplify product transfer and portioning. Groen Kettles Are Easier To Clean... A Groen kettle can braise that meat, simmer a great sauce and boil three kinds of pasta, with fewer pans and less pan and utensil washing. And less burn-on means less pot scrubbing. How do Steam Jacketed Kettles Work? WATER OR PRODUCT OUTER JACKET INNER JACKET STEAM UNDER PRESSURE HEATING ELEMENTS (ELECTRIC) BOILING WATER Steam jacketed kettles cook faster, yet cost less to operate, and provide more even, gentle heating. How do they deliver this unique combination of power and cooking precision? The Amazing Thermal Efficiency Of Steam... Steam carries approximately six times the energy of boiling water and gives up that energy upon contact with a colder surface. This simple fact makes steam an ideal heat transfer medium, and steam jacketed kettles the ideal way to cook, reheat and hold a wide variety of menu items. Unique Kettle Construction... A steam jacketed kettle is formed from two stainless steel hemispheres, which are nested and welded to form a space or jacket to contain steam. 70 60 50 40 0 20 10 (MIN) Kettles Cook Faster & Use Less Energy! HEATING TIME IN MINUTES FASTER GROEN TDB/7-40 KETTLE ENERGY USED KWH 5Kg OF 18 C WATER TO 100 C 180% LONGER (2) 20 QUART STOCK POTS ON RANGE TOP SECTION SAVE GROEN TDB/7-40 KETTLE 42% MORE ENERGY (2) 20 QUART STOCK POTS ON RANGE TOP SECTION 7 6 5 4 2 1 (KWH) When steam enters that jacket space from a built-in steam generator, it is a self-contained kettle. When steam is piped in from a remote boiler, it is called a direct steam kettle. Efficient Steam Heat Transfer... When steam enters the jacket, it expands to fill the entire space and transfers its energy load to the inner kettle wall and then into the water or food being heated. Heat is transferred uniformly through the entire jacketed hemisphere surface area. There are no hot spots or temperature variations. The Steam Pressure/Temperature Relationship... At atmospheric pressure, steam is 100 C. Under pressure, water boils and converts into steam at temperatures above 100 C. For example, at.5 bar, steam is 148 C. The rated maximum steam pressure of kettles varies by type, but typically is 1.5 -.45 bar and higher on food processing and some cook-chill production kettles. This relationship between pressure and steam is important if more rapid heating or browning (caramelization of sugars) is required in a steam kettle. Then kettle models with higher rated pressures should be considered. See page 14 for Kettle sizing and options. 1
Self Contained Floor Model Kettles Groen self-contained, floor model kettles are perfect for preparing vegetables, stews, pasta, sauces, soups, gravies and much more. These steam jacketed kettles out-perform range top cooking with superior energy efficiency, high speed performance and greater productivity. Each gas or electric heated model makes its own steam. No remote steam source or boiler is required. All models are thermostatically controlled to heat and hold any product at the desired temperature, without scorching. Product transfers are accomplished with a tangent draw-off (stationary models) or a convenient, self locking tilt mechanism (tilting models).

What Makes HyPerSteam Different? HyPerSteam is a radical departure from traditional convection steamers. Aware of the problems associated with conventional steamers, Groen engineers designed a line of steamers that: 1) cook faster; 2) are more dependable, have fewer parts and problems and ) can be easily descaled by the operator. In addition, the HyPerSteam family of steamers are compact, simple to operate, simple to service, and both energy and water efficient! HyPerSteam... created a new class of steamers. Let s review these breakthrough differences in steamer technology...

PRESSURE GAUGE STEAM LINES ALSO PROVIDE GENERATOR ACCESS FOR DESCALING PRESSURE BOILER TWIN ATMOSPHERIC STEAM GENERATORS Standard Steamer Technology Large pressure boiler which requires safety valves, water level glass and pressure gauges. Float type water level controls with moving parts. Steam channelled through manifolds to small ports or orifices... which can clog and scale up. A pressure boiler that requires descaling by a Service Agent or experienced maintenance personnel, requires tools, and can cost hundreds of pounds each time. Doors that sag, leak, aren t adjustable... often difficult to open, hard and noisy to close. The single large pressure boiler provides steam to multiple cavities. Any boiler problem disables the entire unit. Single large pressure boiler must operate at full capacity, even if you are preparing a single portion or pan load. New HyPerSteam Technology Atmospheric steam generator(s) with fewer parts and fewer potential problems. Water level sensors...with no moving parts. Steam enters cavity through large diameter steam port, which can t scale up or clog. Steam is circulated by a powerful fan. Operator can descale the unit without tools or a service call, through an easy access port. Door is adjustable, even field reversible. Strong continuous hinge resists sagging, closes with gentle push or slam, with a no-hands latch. Multiple independent steam generators serving each steamer cavity. One generator/cavity pair still operates, if the other goes down. Independent generator/cavity pairs allow use of single cavity for smaller loads... saves energy and water. 10

There is a Groen kettle that is perfect for your operation, menu mix and production volume requirement. See pages 1-6 to help you choose the type or style kettle that is right for you. Check out the table below for help in sizing that kettle. Some things to remember when sizing a kettle: It is better and often more cost effective to purchase a slightly larger kettle than your current volume requires. You can always make a 76 litres batch in a 151 litre kettle. It will provide extra capacity for growth, carryout business etc. Two smaller kettles may provide more production flexibility than one larger kettle, for use by multiple chefs or simultaneous preparation of several menu items. All kettles require head space or freeboard for safe operation. Nominal kettle capacity is the calculated maximum volume when filled to the rim. You need a minimum 50-75mm of clearance below the rim for stirring and to avoid boilover etc. This working capacity is about 80% of rim or nominal capacity and the figure you should use in determining kettle size.

HyPerSteam Menu & Features Guide Faster Cook Times All HyPerSteam Models are designed for optimum cooking performance, with a powerful fan in the cavity, two in HyCapacity models; adequate spacing between pans; and steam generators sized to deliver 2- KW per pan in electric models and at least 90,000 BTU s per hour input in gas models. Fans strategically located in the steamer cavity increase the velocity of steam, which sweeps away insulating layers of cold air and condensate, speeding heat transfer to the food. A minimum of 1mm spacing between pans eliminates nesting of pans and allows better circulation of steam between full pan loads. HyPerSteam cook times are often comparable to the cook times delivered by pressure steamers, if the pressure up and pressure down time delays are added to the actual cook times delivered by pressure steamers... AND the colour, texture, flavour and nutritional value is superior to pressure cooked foods.
