Product Details:

A Steam Jacketed Kettle is a widely used cooking and heating vessel in the food processing and pharmaceutical industries. It is designed to cook, boil, mix, or concentrate products using steam as the heating medium.

A Steam Jacketed Kettle consists of a double-walled vessel. The inner vessel holds the product to be processed, while the outer layer (called the steam jacket) surrounds it. Steam flows through this jacket, transferring heat evenly to the inner vessel without direct contact with the product.

1. Inner Kettle (Product Chamber) – Holds the food or liquid to be heated.

2. Steam Jacket – The outer chamber where steam circulates to provide indirect heating.

3. Steam Inlet Valve – Controls the entry of steam into the jacket.

4. Condensate Outlet – Removes condensed steam (water) from the jacket.

5. Pressure Gauge – Measures steam pressure inside the jacket.

6. Safety Valve – Prevents excess pressure buildup.

7. Agitator (Optional) – Mixes the product to ensure uniform heating.

Steam enters the jacket surrounding the kettle, and because steam carries high thermal energy, it transfers heat through the kettle wall to the product inside. As the steam loses heat, it condenses into water and exits through the condensate outlet.

Steam jacketed kettles are commonly used for:

• Cooking soups, sauces, and gravies

• Making jam and jelly

• Preparing syrups and confectionery

• Dairy processing

• Pharmaceutical solutions

• Uniform heating

• Prevents product burning

• Energy efficient

• Suitable for large-scale cooking
