Cleveland MKDL40T Sweep/Fold Direct Steam Tilting Mixer Kettle
The Cleveland MKDL40T Sweep/Fold Direct Steam Tilting Mixer Kettle is a commercial cook-and-chill processing system designed for efficient batch preparation in foodservice and institutional production environments. With a 40-gallon working capacity, 2/3 jacketed construction, and direct steam heating, this tilting mixer kettle provides controlled heat transfer for products such as soups, sauces, gravies, and other prepared foods. The 316 stainless steel kettle liner is suited to applications involving high-acid products, while enclosed stainless steel consoles protect the plumbing, electrical components, and hydraulic systems. The hydraulic-powered agitator, scraper, and bridge lift support consistent product movement throughout the cooking process.
The MKDL40T features Cleveland's Sweep/Fold agitator system with removable scraper blades designed to contact the jacketed kettle surface, along with variable scraper speed and an adjustable scraper-to-agitator ratio. A safety device prevents high-speed starts and stops mixing when the bridge is lifted. Batch handling is supported by a large pouring lip with removable flow diverter and an air-operated 3-inch flush piston discharge valve with variable control. An automatic water meter, hot and cold water faucet, and automatic and manual water cooling provide additional process control. The two-piece lift-off cover, time/temperature chart recorder, and stainless steel mixer bridge round out this commercial tilting mixer kettle's production-focused design.
