Overview
This is a 2/3 jacketed Groen TDB-20A TA/2 twin-agitator steam kettle, a self-contained, high-end commercial production kettle designed for consistent, hands-off cooking of sauces, soups, jams, fillings, purees, and other viscous products.
Unlike standard tilt kettles that require constant manual stirring, this unit features Groen’s dual agitator system, allowing you to cook evenly without standing over the kettle. That single feature dramatically reduces labor requirements and improves product consistency.
Kettle comes with stainless steel stand with castor wheels, for easy maneuverability within the kitchen. It's a plug-and-play option, with no water hookup required.
New models sell for approximately $33K, making this an excellent opportunity for growing food businesses or co-packers looking to expand production capacity at a fraction of the cost.
Why the Twin Agitator Matters
Most commercial kettles require a worker to continuously stir to prevent scorching or uneven cooking.
This machine eliminates that problem.
The dual agitator system:
• Continuously mixes product during cooking
• Prevents scorching and settling
• Maintains even heat distribution
• Allows operators to step away and manage other production tasks
For many products, this can save hours of labor per batch.
For businesses making sauces, jams, fillings, soups, or nut butters, that labor reduction alone can justify the investment.
Ideal For
• Sauce and condiment production
• Jam, jelly, and fruit processing
• Soup and broth production
• Nut butters and spreads
• Protein fillings or meal components
• Small to mid-scale food manufacturing
• Co-packing facilities
• Commercial commissary kitchens
