Manufacturer Information

Lee Industries

Lee Industries manufactures stainless steel process vessels, kettles, tanks, and mixing equipment used across food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical, and other process industries. Jacketed kettles with scrape-surface agitation are commonly used for products requiring controlled heating or cooling while minimizing material buildup along the vessel wall.

Description

Available for sale is a used Lee RA-150 150-gallon jacketed processing kettle constructed of 316 stainless steel and equipped with scrape-surface agitation.

The 150-gallon vessel combines jacketed temperature-control capability with mechanical agitation. The scrape-surface agitator is designed to continuously move compatible product along the vessel wall during processing, helping promote heat transfer and reduce localized product buildup.

This configuration may be well suited for mixing, blending, heating, cooling, cooking, dissolving, and other batch-processing operations, particularly with viscous or heat-sensitive products.

Specific jacket pressure and temperature ratings, agitator horsepower, electrical requirements, outlet configuration, and vessel dimensions were not provided and should be confirmed from the equipment nameplate or available documentation.
