The Amazing Thermal Efficiency Of Steam...

Unique Kettle Construction...Asteamjacketedkettleisformedfromtwostainlesssteel
hemispheres,whicharenestedandweldedtoformaspaceor“jacket”tocontainsteam.
Groen Kettles Cook Faster
A stock pot only transfers heat on the bottom. A kettle transfers heat through the entire jacketed
bottom and sides. Steam jacketed kettles have 3-4 times more heat transfer surface area than
the same size stock pot, which means faster heat up and faster cook times.
Groen Kettles Are More Efficient
Kettles transfer more of their energy into the food product. Range burners only heat the bottom of
the stock pot and can be inefficient. Groen gas heated kettles are 58-65% efficient and electric
models are even more efficient. Faster cook times mean less energy used and lower fuel bills.
Direct steam kettles can operate from an existing steam source, for even greater energy savings.
Groen Kettles Save Labour
A single chef or cook can prepare larger batches of your soups and other popular menu specialties,
in a steam kettle. With even heating and precise temperature control, there is less need for
constant "pot watching" and frequent stirring. Gear assisted manual and power tilts make product
transfer and portioning fast and easy. With larger single batch capabilities, you can reduce
repetitive work and utilise more automated prep equipment. Kettles are major labour savers.
Groen Kettles Improve Consistency & Reduce Product Loss From Burn-on
Groenkettles don'thave "hotspots" anddon't requireconstant stirring toavoid productburn-on and
scorching.Steam jacketedkettles areideal forpreparation ofdelicate sauces,cream basedsoups,
dessert fillingsand heatsensitive confections.Even unskilledemployees canconsistently cook,reheat
andhold menuitems, batchafter batch,day afterday. Groenkettles aremore "forgiving"than range
toppreparation methodsand theymake employeetraining easier.
Groen Kettles Reduce Heavy Lifting...
Counterbalanced tilting kettles and models equipped with product drawoff valves reduce the need
for heavy lifting and simplify product transfer and portioning.
Groen Kettles Are Easier To Clean...
A Groen kettle can braise that meat, simmer a great sauce and boil three kinds of pasta, with
fewer pans and less pan and utensil washing. And less burn-on means less pot scrubbing.

How do Steam Jacketed Kettles Work?
See page 14 for Kettle sizing and options.

Groen self-contained, floor model kettles are perfect for preparing vegetables, stews,
pasta, sauces, soups, gravies and much more. These steam jacketed kettles
out-perform range top cooking with superior energy efficiency, high speed performance
and greater productivity. Each gas or electric heated model makes its own steam.
No remote steam source or boiler is required. All models are thermostatically controlled
to heat and hold any product at the desired temperature, without scorching. Product
transfers are accomplished with a tangent draw-off (stationary models) or a convenient,
self locking tilt mechanism (tilting models).

What Makes HyPerSteam™Different?
HyPerSteam is a radical departure from traditional convection steamers.
Aware of the problems associated with conventional steamers, Groen
engineers designed a line of steamers that: 1) cook faster; 2) are more
dependable, have fewer parts and problems and 3) can be easily
descaled by the operator. In addition, the HyPerSteam family of steamers are compact,
simple to operate, simple to service, and both energy and water efficient!
HyPerSteam . . . created a new class of steamers.
Let’s review these breakthrough differences in steamer technology . . .
Standard Pressure Boiler
Convection Steamer HyPerSteam™–Twin Atmospheric Steam Generator / Convection Steamer
Standard Steamer Technology
•Large pressure boiler which requires safety valves, water level glass
and pressure gauges.
•Float type water level controls with moving parts.
•Steam channelled through manifolds to small ports or orifices... which can clog
and scale up.
•A pressure boiler that requires descaling by a Service Agent or experienced
maintenance personnel, requires tools, and can cost hundreds of pounds each time.
•Doors that sag, leak, aren’t adjustable . . . often difficult to open, hard and noisy
to close.
•The single large pressure boiler provides steam to multiple cavities. Any boiler
problem disables the entire unit.
•Single large pressure boiler must operate at full capacity, even if you are preparing
a single portion or pan load.
New HyPerSteam™Technology
•Atmospheric steam generator(s) with fewer parts and fewer potential problems.
•Water level sensors...with no moving parts.
•Steam enters cavity through large diameter steam port, which can’t scale up
or clog. Steam is circulated by a powerful fan.
•Operator can descale the unit without tools or a service call, through an easy
access port.
•Door is adjustable, even field reversible. Strong continuous hinge resists sagging,
closes with gentle push or slam, with a no-hands latch.
•Multiple independent steam generators serving each steamer cavity.
One generator/cavity pair still operates, if the other goes down.
•Independent generator/cavity pairs allow use of single cavity for smaller loads...
saves energy and water.

HyPerSteam is a true breakthrough in steamer technology, designed to eliminate most
common steamer problems. Twin atmospheric steam generators allow independent
operation of each cavity, to match capacity to your production needs and provide a
built-in backup steamer. A powerful fan in each cavity increases steam velocity.
We call this accelerated conduction heat transfer process HyPerDuction. The result is
FASTER COOKINGTIMES! “CleanMe”warning light and easy access for descaling,
allows operator to descale their own steamer without a service call or tools.

Groen Steam Jacketed Kettles are available in a wide range of types, styles and
capacities. There is a Groen kettle that is perfect for your operation, menu mix and
production volume requirement. See pages 1 - 6 to help you choose the type or style
kettle that is right for you.
Checkoutthetablebelowforhelpinsizingthatkettle.Somethingstorememberwhen
sizing a kettle:
•Itisbetter andoftenmorecost effectivetopurchasea slightlylargerkettlethan your
current volume requires. You can always make a 76 litres batch in a 151 litre kettle.
It will provide extra capacity for growth, carryout business etc.
•Two smaller kettles may provide more production flexibility than one larger kettle,
for use by multiple chefs or simultaneous preparation of several menu items.
•All kettles require head space or “freeboard”for safe operation.
Nominal kettle capacity is the calculated maximum volume when filled to the rim.
You need a minimum 50-75mm of clearance below the rim for stirring and to avoid
boilover etc. This working capacity is about 80% of rim or nominal capacity and the
figure you should use in determining kettle size.

Faster Cook Times
All HyPerSteam Models are designed for optimum cooking performance, with a powerful fan
in the cavity, two in HyCapacity models; adequate spacing between pans; and steam
generators sized to deliver 2-3 KW per pan in electric models and at least 90,000 BTU’s
per hour input in gas models.
Fans strategically located in the steamer cavity increase the velocity of steam, which sweeps
away insulating layers of cold air and condensate, speeding heat transfer to the food.
A minimum of 13mm spacing between pans eliminates nesting of pans and allows better
circulation of steam between full pan loads.
HyPerSteam cook times are often comparable to the cook times delivered by pressure
steamers, if the “pressure up”and “pressure down”time delays are added to the actual
cook times delivered by pressure steamers . . . AND the colour, texture, flavour and
nutritional value is superior to pressure cooked foods.
