Product Overview
The Used Lee 150-Gallon Stainless Steel Jacketed Kettle, Model RA-150, is a heavy-duty sanitary processing vessel designed for heating, cooling, mixing, and blending viscous or temperature-sensitive products. Constructed of 316 stainless steel, this kettle is well suited for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical, and specialty processing applications requiring corrosion resistance and hygienic product contact surfaces.
The vessel features a 90 PSI rated jacket suitable for operation from approximately -20°F to 332°F, allowing the kettle to support both heating and cooling processes when connected to an appropriate utility system. A single-motion scrape surface agitator with a 1.5 HP drive helps maintain product movement along the vessel wall, improve heat transfer, and reduce product buildup during processing.
Additional features include a baffle, two-piece cover, thermometer, sprayball, and a 2.5-inch center-bottom ferrule designed for a Cherry-Burrell valve. The valve is not included. Built in 2014, this Lee RA-150 offers a versatile sanitary processing solution for batch production environments.
