COOKING KETTLE
Industrial stainless steel cooking kettle for cooking, heating and mixing food products. It is suitable for the production of sauces, purees, creams, fillings, jams and other products that require controlled process temperature.
WHAT IS IT USED FOR
The cooking kettle is used for thermal processing of food products under controlled heating and mixing conditions. It enables cooking, heating, reduction and temperature holding processes in one machine.
This type of machine is used in the production of purees, sauces, creams, fillings, jams, mousses, stuffings and other products where repeatable temperature, uniform mixing and hygienic stainless steel construction are important.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The ZPM-0.3 cooking kettle has been designed for thermal processing of food products that require simultaneous heating and mixing. The stainless steel construction, low-speed stirrer and tilting kettle make the process easier and support efficient product unloading after processing.
HOW A COOKING KETTLE WORKS
Raw material or semi-finished product is loaded into the cooking kettle manually or from the previous stage of the line. The kettle can operate as a stand-alone machine or as part of a larger production process.
The heating medium transfers energy through the kettle jacket, allowing the product to be heated evenly and under controlled conditions. This supports a stable cooking or heating process.
A low-speed mechanical stirrer keeps the product in motion, improves temperature distribution and reduces the risk of local burning. This is especially important for thicker food products.
After processing, the product can be emptied from the kettle and directed to the next stage, for example to a tank, pasteurizer, evaporator or filling system. The tilting kettle makes batch unloading faster and easier.

It keeps the product in motion during thermal processing, improves batch homogeneity and reduces the risk of product burning onto the tank walls.
The main working chamber where cooking, heating and mixing of the product takes place. It is designed for work with food products.
It facilitates emptying the kettle after the process and shortens handling time when changing batches or washing the machine.
It is responsible for uniform heat transfer to the product. It supports stable process control without sudden temperature changes.
It enables convenient discharge of the finished product and allows it to be directed to the next stage of the production process.
It allows the operator to control machine parameters, including process temperature and stirrer operation during cooking and heating.
Components and media
THE MOST IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES
The cooking kettle enables even heating of the product under controlled conditions, supporting process stability and repeatable quality of the finished product.
The machine is suitable for preparing sauces, purees, syrups, jams, creams and other products that require controlled cooking, heating or reduction.
The installed stirrer enables continuous mixing of the product during heating, improves batch homogeneity and reduces the risk of product burning onto the tank walls.
The stainless steel construction makes it easier to maintain hygiene, wash the machine and work safely with food products in production plants.
The cooking kettle can be adapted to specific production batches and various recipes, making it suitable for small and medium-sized processing plants.
The machine can operate as a stand-alone station or as part of a processing line together with a de-stoning machine, tanks, pasteurizer, evaporator and filling unit.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The capacity of the cooking kettle is selected according to production needs. The standard model has a capacity of approximately 250 l, but the machine can be manufactured in a different capacity depending on the type of product, batch size and planned production process.
The cooking kettle is used for heating, cooking and mixing food products. It can be used in the production of jams, preserves, sauces, purees, syrups, stuffings and other products that require controlled thermal processing.
The cooking kettle can be used to prepare liquid, semi-liquid and thick products, including purees, mousses, sauces, jams, preserves, creams, syrups and fruit or vegetable products. The selection of operating parameters depends on the recipe and the expected final consistency.
Yes, the cooking kettle can be equipped with a stirrer that keeps the product moving during heating. This helps distribute temperature evenly, reduces the risk of the product sticking to the tank walls and makes it easier to achieve repeatable consistency.
The cooking kettle operates under normal pressure conditions and is mainly used for cooking, heating and mixing the product. The vacuum evaporator operates at reduced pressure, which allows the product to be thickened at a lower temperature.
The lead time for a cooking kettle is usually 4 to 8 weeks. The exact date depends on the capacity, configuration, scope of equipment and current production load.
We provide a 36-month warranty on the welded structure of the cooking kettle. For purchased components, such as motors, automation elements, heaters, sensors or other components, the warranty period is usually from 12 to 24 months, depending on the component manufacturer.
Yes, we provide service for cooking kettles, technical support and access to spare parts. We help with machine start-up, operating parameter settings and matching the kettle to a specific product and production process.
