Industrial Cooking Kettle
High-capacity steam boiling kettle with agitator for batch cooking.
Overview
An industrial steam-heated boiling kettle with optional agitator, engineered for high-volume batch cooking of soups, sauces, brines and pre-cooked ingredients. The jacketed design delivers even heat transfer across large batches without hot spots. A variable-speed agitator keeps solids in suspension and prevents settling or scorching, while precise steam regulation holds set temperature within tight tolerance. Bottom or tilting discharge options speed transfer to the next process step, and the stainless interior is CIP-friendly for fast changeover between recipes. Referred to as 工业煮锅 in Chinese, it is a versatile 食品机械 (food machinery) unit for batch cooking and 预煮 (pre-cooking) in food plants.
Working Principle
Steam enters the jacket surrounding the bowl and transfers heat through the wall to the product inside, with no direct steam contact. A variable-speed agitator stirs the batch to keep solids suspended and distribute heat evenly. Steam flow is regulated to hold the set temperature, and the cooked product is discharged through a bottom valve or by tilting the bowl into the next process step.
Control System
Steam regulation via control valve with temperature feedback; optional PLC + HMI for recipe-based temperature and agitator-speed profiles, timer and CIP sequencing. Manual control panel standard; full automation optional.

FAQ
- Q01Is the agitator included as standard?
- The agitator is optional with variable speed 0–60 rpm. Specify your product viscosity so we can size it correctly.
- Q02How is the product discharged?
- Choose bottom valve or tilting discharge — both allow fast, hygienic transfer to the next process step.
- Q03Can it be CIP-cleaned?
- Yes — the stainless interior has rounded corners and an optional integrated CIP spray ball for fast changeover.
- Q04What utilities are required?
- Plant steam at 0.2–0.6 MPa via DN25–DN50 inlet. Share your available steam supply for confirmation.
- Q05Is this a sterilizer or a cooker?
- It is a batch cooking/pre-cooking kettle, not a retort sterilizer. For packaged-product sterilization see our retort lines.
