Cleveland KEL80T-OPT Electric Tilting Kettle 300L with TD2 and CHS60

Cleveland KEL80T-OPT Electric Tilting Kettle 300L with TD2 and CHS60

The Cleveland KEL80T-OPT is a self-contained, 300-litre electric tilting kettle designed for high-volume commercial kitchens producing soups, stocks, sauces and similar batch-cooked products. The unit requires only an electrical hook-up, with a 2/3 steam jacket filled with factory-treated water that needs no venting or refilling, making installation and ongoing operation straightforward.

Solid-state controls deliver precise temperature regulation to within ±1°C across an operating range of 63°C to 127°C, supported by an integrated low-water safety system. The kettle is built from Type 304 stainless steel externals with a #4 finish and a Type 316 stainless steel liner, and carries an IPX6 water-resistance rating throughout, ensuring durability and ease of cleaning in demanding kitchen environments.
