STEINER SK 300 Cooking Kettle
Cooking and Heating Products
The STEINER SK 300 is a jacketed cooking/heating vessel from Steiner Apparatebau GmbH, designed for cooking, heating, and holding the temperature of food products in processing plants. Its pressure-rated construction, confirmed by the notified body marking CE 0045, allows the unit to work both as a cooking vessel and as part of an installation requiring elevated working pressure.
How does the STEINER SK 300 cooking kettle work?
Product is placed in a 300-liter cooking chamber, surrounded by a heating jacket (Doppelmantel) with a 49-liter capacity, through which the heating medium — steam or heating water — flows. Heat is transferred to the walls of the working chamber, allowing even cooking, heating, or pasteurization of the product without direct contact with the heating medium. The vessel is designed for a maximum working pressure of 1.0 bar in the working chamber and 1 bar in the heating jacket, with a test pressure of 1.3 bar and a design working temperature of up to 120°C.
Key advantages of the STEINER SK 300 cooking kettle
Heating via the jacket ensures gentle, even heating of the product across the entire surface of the working chamber, reducing the risk of scorching or uneven heat treatment — important when producing sauces, jams, pastes, or ready meals. The solid pressure-rated construction, compliant with the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (CE 0045 marking), ensures safe operation at elevated pressure and temperature.
The compact design and low installed power requirement (0.55 kW) make the kettle simple to connect and operate, and its stainless steel construction makes it easier to maintain the high hygiene standard required in the food industry.
