Vulcan K60GL Stationary Kettle Gas
The Vulcan KGL Series Gas Floor Mounted Stationary 2/3 Jacketed Kettles deliver high-volume batch cooking for K-12 cafeterias, healthcare foodservice, correctional kitchens, catering commissaries, and full-service restaurants that produce soups, stews, sauces, chili, oatmeal, and other volume-driven menu items in stationary configurations designed for direct-transfer through a draw-off valve. The KGL Series pairs a self-contained gas steam kettle with an included 2" compression tangent draw-off valve for fast, controlled product discharge without lifting or ladling.
Each kettle is powered by a 100,000 BTU/hr high-efficiency Power Burner Heating System delivering 64% to 68% efficiency, substantially reducing utility costs compared to conventional gas kettles. Vulcan's SPAN Gas Technology makes the burner field-adjustable to propane gas without factory retrofitting. The steam jacket is permanently filled with treated distilled water and rated at 50 PSI for rapid, even heat distribution around the full 2/3 jacket surface, while the type 316 stainless steel kettle liner and type 304 stainless steel exterior stand up to acidic sauces and years of daily commercial service. An ellipsoidal bottom, embossed gallon and liter markings inside the kettle, and a heavy 3/8" x 1" bar rim reinforce the kettle for years of institutional-grade use.
A spring-assist hinged stainless steel cover with condensate ring and drop-down lift handle, mounted on a heavy-duty yolk-style pivot assembly with tie bar, comes standard for easy access and reliable steam containment. A stainless steel splash-proof enclosure houses water-resistant controls including a power switch, power "on" indicator light, solid state temperature control with graduated warm / simmer / boil settings, vacuum/pressure gauge, pressure relief valve, low water indicator light, and low water shut-off. A combination gas valve with flame failure protection keeps operation safe and reliable, and tubular stainless steel legs with a removable section and flanged feet provide stable placement and simplify service access.
The KGL Series is UL certified to ANSI Z83.11 / CSA 1.8, certified to NSF Standard #4, and meets ASME code. Every unit runs on standard 110-120V/50-60Hz/5A electrical service through a 6' cord and three-prong grounding plug, and connects to gas through a 3/4" NPT supply line. Optional 2" plug or 3" compression bolt-on draw-off valves are available for alternative discharge configurations, and an optional correction facility package (tamper-proof fasteners with tack welds and a stainless steel cover over the draw-off valve with chain), plus an optional heavy-duty 14-gauge welded cover with twin bar-welded handles, is available for correctional foodservice environments. Backed by a one-year limited parts and labor warranty with an optional second-year extension.
