Electrolux Professional Boiling Pan 587185 – Steam Tilting Boiling Pan, 300lt Wall mounted, Electronic

Three hundred litres of net useful capacity in a round vessel 900 mm in diameter and 570 mm deep puts the 587185 at the top end of single-kettle sizes. It does that with a body only 400 mm high and 1500 x 1000 mm externally, because this is a wall mounted unit leaving the deck clear.

On a ship, that 400 mm body height and wall-mounted installation are not cosmetic numbers. Keeping the floor beneath the pan open helps the yard meet USPH-style cleaning requirements and preserves access to deck drains. A 300 lt kettle is a major piece of plant in any galley; locating it off the deck and tight to a bulkhead simplifies traffic and trolley flow around it.

The pan is indirectly heated through a double jacket, with steam coming from an external source rather than an internal generator. The steam inlet is 3/4", with a stated steam supply pressure band of 1 to 1.5 bar and a maximum steam pressure of 1.5 bar. Steam consumption is 105 kg/hr, so the ship’s steam plant and condensate return need to be sized and piped with that continuous draw in mind. Working temperature in the vessel runs from 50 °C up to 110 °C, covering gentle poaching through to boiling and light pasteurisation tasks.

The round vessel is double jacketed and closed by a double jacketed lid, which reduces heat loss and condensate on the product surface. Net vessel useful capacity is 300 lt, not a nominal figure; recipe planning can work with that volume. The configuration is round and tilting, with an automatic tilting mechanism and motorised tilting with controlled stop. That matters at sea: a 300 lt batch carries significant weight, and controlled tilting helps keep pouring predictable into a matching trolley or filling station.

External dimensions are 1500 mm in width and 1000 mm in depth, with a net weight of 390 kg. The footprint and weight are design inputs for the structural team, particularly for a wall mounted installation on lighter decks. The stated supply voltage is 230 V/1 ph/50/60 Hz with a total electrical load of 0.2 kW, so electrical demand is limited to controls, drives and instrumentation; the heat duty is entirely on the steam side. The specification also lists a pressure range of 2-6 bar, which applies to the utility connection called up in the data.

This pan is sized for central production on larger vessels that already run a steam plant capable of delivering 105 kg/hr at 1 to 1.5 bar. It is the wrong choice where only electric power is available, or where batches are small enough that a 60 or 100 lt kettle would avoid tying up 300 lt of product and the deck area that goes with it.
