ABSTRACT:

Today most of the products are mass produced, therefore

they require a special type of pot, called marmita. These
pots are characterized by cooking nutritious foods, most
are dairy, jellies, chocolates, meats, sandwiches and
sauces. Its capacity and high efficiency allow industries
to adopt and work with it. They are made of stainless
steel in the majority of their structure since the food
must not be left with residues of the machine. The pot is
completely airtight and tight, it has food ready in a short
time, fully efficient for the meat industries. In Colombia
the STEAM KETTLE came to the country in the
industrial revolution along with the vapor machine,
which after that the STEAM KETTLE were once
applied to the industrial sector, Creating many more
types of STEAM KETTLE, as, STEAM KETTLE of
refrigeration with jacket, vacuum stirrer, steam jacket,
gas and even electric STEAM KETTLE

III. TYPES
We can found a differents types of kettle, which are:

 Gas steam self-generating kettle

 Steam kettle
 Gas kettle
 Kettle with stirring
 Stirring kettle

The choice of accessories is also a fundamental part

according to the specific application where the pot is
going to work; for example, for the production of jelly a
stirrer is required so that the ingredients added are left
with a uniform mixture. There are also accessories such
as:

 Measuring rods.
 Mixer with scraper
 Strainers of lumps.
 Taps.

Which may or may not be added according to their

application.

V. APPLICATIONS.
These devices serve to cook large volumes and are used
by the food processing industry to carry out processes in
which heat transfer is indirectly involved, thus creating
different products, more than all dairy.

VI. FUNCTIONING
Basically, a kettle has a heating chamber, that we knows [8] GROEN. [En línea]. Available: https://www.cpsohio.com/manual_down
like Jacket or Steam Jacket, that is placed around the manufacturer=GRO&manual=GRO055. [Último acceso: 25 02 2020].
container where we put the material that we need to heat
up. [9] Erikoinentunnus, «Wikipedia,» 23 08 2013. [En línea]. Available:
The heating is done by circulating the steam at a certain https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cooking_red_beans_in_the_s
pressure through the heating chamber, in which case the jacketed_kombi_kettle.jpg. [Último acceso: 25 02 2020].
steam is supplied by the boiler. We can see a simple
mechanism:

- A steel container with a top

- A pressure regulator
- One or more pressure relief valves
- A rubber sealant packaging.

For example, in this article, Tim Bowser (1), he’s talking

about how does a Steam-jacketed kettles works: “Steam-
jacketed kettles are often used to rapidly and uniformly
heat food and agricultural products to processing
temperatures. Steam is injected into a thin jacket that
surrounds the bowl of the kettle. The steam condenses
on the product-surface of the kettle jacket and transfers
its latent heat of vaporization to the product. Condensed
steam (condensate or water) is removed from the jacket
of the kettle to allow more steam to enter and continue
the heating process. […] ”.
