Product Description

Overview

The Southbend OB-3-2-40-E-SB Oyster Bar Kettle Cabinet Assembly is a purpose-built electric kettle bank that accelerates your restaurant opening while providing the durability and consistency modern foodservice demands. Designed with three manual-tilt 64 oz (2 liter) kettles mounted over a 40" stainless cabinet base, this unit is ideal for oyster bars, seafood stations, sauces, soups, and other high-turn small-batch production. With NSF certified construction, 316 stainless steel liners, and integrated boiler controls, the OB-3-2-40-E-SB delivers professional results and minimizes the risk of delays during your kitchen buildout.

Key Features

  • Triple 64 oz manual-tilt kettles: Three individual 2-liter kettles let you produce multiple items simultaneously without cross-contamination — perfect for prep and high-turn service.
  • 316 stainless steel liner & stainless construction: Corrosion-resistant surfaces ensure long life and simple sanitation to meet health code inspections.
  • CSD-1 boiler controls & automatic water level: Reliable control of steam generation and water feed reduces operator intervention and maintains consistent temperature control.
  • Automatic boiler blowdown & safety relief valve: Maintenance-friendly features that protect the system and extend service intervals, so your operation stays up and profitable.
  • Integrated spillage sink & drain screen: Clean, efficient handling of overflow and clean-up tasks during service.
  • 40" cabinet base with 6" adjustable legs: Durable footprint with level-adjustable flanged feet to fit commercial kitchen workflows and sanitation needs.
  • Pressure gauge & steam control valve: Built-in monitoring and easy steam adjustments in the right leg for operator convenience.
  • NSF and cCSAus certifications: Code-friendly approvals that simplify inspections and permit approvals during your restaurant opening.

Built for Commercial Success

This assembly is engineered for the intensity of commercial kitchens. Heavy-duty components, a 316 stainless liner, and robust boiler systems mean you can count on consistent performance service after service. For entrepreneurs opening a new restaurant, reliability equals revenue — fewer equipment failures, less downtime, and predictable output translate to faster paths to profitability. When paired with Concept Services’ sourcing, inspection, and professional installation, the OB-3-2-40-E-SB becomes a low-risk, high-value investment in your kitchen infrastructure.
