Self-Contained Kettles

Self-Contained Kettle
For fast, gentle processing and maximum ease of production, GPE self-contained steam jacketed kettles offer high speed performance, increased productivity, and eliminate product loss from burning and scorching. All self-contained kettles are thermostatically controlled to heat and hold any product at desired temperature, insuring product stability and uniformity of temperature. These units are factory charged with a permanent supply of chemically pure water, with rust inhibitor added, to insure long life and minimum maintenance. No direct water connection is required.
