The Cleveland KDL-100 is a high-capacity, steam-jacketed kettle designed for efficient, high-volume production. With a 100-gallon (375 L) capacity, it can prepare approximately 1,600 eight-ounce servings per batch, making it ideal for commercial kitchens that specialize in soups, sauces, pasta, braises, and other high-acid food products. Its open tri-leg base, 316 stainless steel liner, and 2/3 steam jacket construction ensure durable, uniform heating for consistent results. Rated for up to 50 psi, this industrial-grade kettle is built to withstand the demands of a busy commercial kitchen.

Key Features & Benefits:

• The 316 series stainless steel interior is more resistant to acidic ingredients than 304 stainless steel, making it ideal for tomato-based and citrus recipes.
• The 2/3 steam jacket design surrounds the product, allowing for faster heat-up, even simmering, and reduced scorching.
• The 50 psi jacket rating and safety valve (ASME certified) can handle incoming steam pressures from 5–45 psi, providing ample headroom.
• The spring-assisted domed cover stays open at any angle, making it easy to load, stir, and inspect the contents.
• The 2" tangent draw-off valve (with removable strainer) speeds up product transfer and simplifies clean-out.
• The steam control inlet valve is supplied, allowing you to connect directly to your building's steam line without the need for an external kit.
• The tri-leg frame uses 1.63" O.D. 304 stainless steel tubing with level-adjustable flanged feet, providing secure floor anchoring and easy wash-down.
• This product is NSF and ASME compliant, ensuring safe and code-ready installation in any commercial kitchen.

Installation Requirements:

• The machine requires a direct, clean steam supply at 5-45 psi pressure.
• The condensate return line should have a minimum 3/4" NPT connection, and it is recommended to use a valve size at least 1" larger to connect to a floor drain.
• The machine should be securely mounted on the provided flanged feet to a level, non-combustible floor. Allow at least 4 inches of clearance at the rear and 0 inches on the sides.
• Ensure adequate ventilation is provided to manage the ambient heat and humidity generated by the machine.
