Tilting Jacketed Kettle
Tilting jacketed kettle for safe, clean discharge of viscous products.
Overview
A tilting jacketed kettle with handwheel or hydraulic tilt, designed for cooking and concentrating viscous products such as pastes, jams and fillings. The tilt mechanism enables safe, hygienic discharge without manual scooping. Jacketed steam heating provides uniform, gentle heat across the whole bowl, while an optional scraped agitator continuously sweeps the wall to prevent sticking and burning of thick products. The tilt discharge empties the bowl in seconds directly into a hopper or conveyor, reducing labor and product loss in plants running sticky or high-value recipes. Known as 可倾式夹层锅 in Chinese, it is widely used 食品机械 for jams, fillings and high-viscosity cooking.
Working Principle
Steam heats the jacket around the bowl, transferring gentle, uniform heat through the wall. An optional scraped/planetary agitator continuously sweeps the bowl wall to prevent sticking of viscous product. When cooking is complete, a handwheel or hydraulic cylinder tilts the bowl up to 90°, emptying the product directly into a hopper or conveyor without manual scooping.
Control System
Steam regulation with temperature feedback; optional PLC + HMI for temperature and agitator-speed profiles and tilt sequencing. Handwheel tilt is manual; hydraulic tilt is push-button controlled with safety hold.

FAQ
- Q01Handwheel or hydraulic tilt — which do I need?
- Handwheel suits smaller batches (≤200 L); hydraulic tilt is recommended for 300 L and above or frequent discharge. Both tilt up to 90°.
- Q02Can it handle very viscous products?
- Yes — the optional scraped/planetary agitator continuously sweeps the wall to prevent sticking and burning of thick products.
- Q03How fast is discharge?
- Hydraulic tilt empties the bowl in seconds directly into a hopper or conveyor, with no manual scooping.
- Q04Is it CIP-compatible?
- The sanitary design with rounded corners is easy to clean, with an optional CIP spray ball and dome lid.
- Q05Is this a sterilizer?
- No — it is a cooking/concentrating kettle for bulk product. For packaged-product sterilization see our retort lines.
