Southbend BELM-40_18KW_208V_1PH Details

Cook meats, vegetables, sauces, and soups safely and efficiently with this Southbend BELM-40 40 gallon electric tilting braising pan / tilt skillet! This electrically heated, heavy-duty skillet features a large, 40-gallon capacity designed for creating large batches of grilled, sauteed, seared, or simmered foods in fast-paced commercial kitchens. This item is made with durable stainless steel, including a 304 stainless steel liner and a satin-finish, 10 gauge, type 304 stainless steel braising pan with a sloped front, a polished interior, and coved corners for easy cleaning. The pan is front-hinged for smooth, manual tilting with pour control, and it features a removable pour strainer that directs food into hotel pans and storage containers using the unit's receiving pan support. The braising pan is mounted on a stainless steel exterior that is supported by a heavy-duty, welded 1 5/8" stainless steel pipe frame with adjustable legs that include adjustable bullet feet on the front legs, and flange-adjustable feet on the back legs, both with a range of 1 1/4", for secure floor mounting.

To ensure consistent results every time you cook, this tilt skillet is heated with a 1 3/8" thick aluminum casting bolted to the underside of the braising pan. On the inside, the braising pan houses cast-embedded heating elements for even heat distribution across its 43 1/2" x 23" cooking surface. It also features a permanently lubricated, self-contained gearbox tilt mechanism with a full-width, front tilt handle that makes it easy to manually raise and lower the braising pan to empty its contents. The unit's intuitive controls include a thermostat with an OFF position, a thermostat indicator light, and a temperature range of 160 to 445 degrees Fahrenheit (71 to 229 degrees Celsius).

This tilt skillet is topped with a spring-assisted stainless steel cover that contains heat and steam. It features a no-drip condensate guide for a clean, safe work space, etched gallon markings for easy measuring, and a 4" vent port with a swing cover. For enhanced safety, this tilt skillet features a pan-tilt switch that shuts off the heating elements if the pan is tilted more than 5 degrees, and a high-temperature cut-off set at 536 degrees Fahrenheit (280 degrees Celsius), ensuring safe and precise operation. For added versatility and customization when creating delicious meals, this unit is compatible with select Southbend valves, faucets, strainers, brackets, and other accessories (sold separately). This electric 1-phase tilt skillet generates 18 kW of power, and it requires a 208V electrical connection for operation. This item is ideal for use in commercial kitchens for reliable, high-performance cooking day after day!
