Product Description

Overview

The Southbend KELT-25 25-gallon electric tilting kettle is engineered for operators who need dependable, large-batch cooking during a restaurant opening and beyond. Ideal for soups, stocks, sauces and braises, this 2/3 jacketed kettle with a 316 stainless steel interior liner and 304 stainless exterior delivers consistent heating and simple operation. As part of your commercial kitchen equipment lineup, the KELT-25 helps you accelerate your kitchen buildout and get your new restaurant into service quickly while meeting industry standards — it’s NSF certified and cCSAus listed for safe, code-compliant operation.

Key Features

  • 25 gallon capacity — large batch sizes let you scale production for pre-opening prep and steady service.
  • 2/3 jacket with thermostatic control — even heating and precise temperature management reduce scorching and maintain product quality.
  • 316 stainless steel liner — corrosion resistance and food-safe surface for longer life and easy cleaning.
  • Crank tilt with self-locking positive stop — safe, controlled dumping reduces strain and speeds plating or transfer to holding pans.
  • Faucet bracket — simplifies filling and cleaning processes to save time during high-volume prep.
  • 12.0 kW electric power — robust heating performance compatible with commercial electric utility setups.
  • Console & tri-leg base — sturdy installation footprint designed to withstand heavy daily use.
  • cCSAus & NSF certifications — tested for safety and sanitation, helping you maintain compliance during inspections.

Built for Commercial Success

The KELT-25 is built with commercial durability in mind so your investment performs reliably through the busiest service periods. With heavy-gauge stainless construction and straightforward controls, it minimizes downtime and maintenance. For new restaurant owners, that means fewer surprises during a critical launch phase and a faster return on investment. Concept Services sources, inspects, and professionally installs each unit so your equipment arrives ready to perform — backed by ongoing support to keep your operations moving.
