OM-TDB/TDBC 5
The TDB and TDBC are table top, tilting, steam jacketed kettles with an electronically
controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated steam supply and appropriate controls,
mounted on a sturdy base. Models are available in 20, 24, 40 and 48 quart capacity.
The body of the kettle is constructed of stainless steel, welded into one solid piece. The
kettle is furnished with a reinforced rim and a butterfly shaped pouring lip. It has a steam
jacket rated for a design pressure of 50 PSIG. Kettle finish is 180 emery grit on the
inside and bright semi-deluxe on the outside. A tilt handle on the TDB kettle and a hand
wheel crank on the TDBC kettle allows the operator to manually tilt the kettle body in a
controlled manner. Pouring height accepts pans up to four inches high on a table top.
A built-in steam generator, sized for the kettle capacity and heated by electricity,
delivers steam into the jacket. “Airless” operation of the steam jacket permits uniform,
efficient heating at temperatures as low as 150°F and as high as 295°F. In addition
to the operating control, the unit has a tilt cut-off switch, low water cut-off, pressure
relief valve, and high-limit pressure switch as safety features. A heating indicator light,
pressure gauge, and sight glass are provided for monitoring kettle operation.
A single electrical connection is required for installation. The unit may be ordered for
use with 208/240 or 480 volt power. All 208/240 volt kettles are wired for 208 volt,
three-phase operation. For 240 volt, three-phase OR single-phase conversion, see the
wiring diagrams and installation instructions in this manual.
