Electrolux Professional Braising Pan 587146 – Electric Tilting Pressure Braising Pan, 170lt Hygienic Profile, Freestanding with CTS

One hundred and seventy litres of net useful capacity in a 1050 x 558 mm rectangular vessel sets the 587146 up for bulk production where braising space is the bottleneck. With a 20.6 kW connected load and a working range from 50 to 250 °C, it covers low-temperature holding through to high-temperature searing in the same pan.

On a shipboard galley the 440 V/3 ph/50/60 Hz supply aligns with standard marine switchboards, so the unit can be specified on either a 50 or 60 Hz vessel without changing the hardware. External dimensions of 1600 x 900 x 700 mm mean it claims a full 900 mm cooking line depth; that needs to be allowed for when setting passages and door clearances on the galley drawings. Net weight is 340 kg, so the choice between FS on concrete base, FS on feet, on base or standing against a wall is a structural decision as much as a layout one.

The 326 mm vessel height gives a deep pan that still allows access for loading and turning product, especially where the unit is freestanding rather than wall-mounted. The rectangular, tilting configuration makes use of the full 1050 mm width, so large cuts and GN-sized inserts sit flat on the bottom. Heating type is direct, so the 20.6 kW input is applied under the pan rather than through a jacket, which matters for browning and for recovery after cold loads go in.

Working temperature from 50 to 250 °C offers enough control to handle delicate sauces at the bottom of the range and pressure braising work at higher settings. The automatic tilting mechanism with motorised, controlled stop lets the operator run the vessel from cooking temperature to pour-off without manual heaving of 170 litres, and the double jacketed lid retains heat and condensate when closed. A safety valve against jacket overpressure sits in the specification for protection in pressure operation.

The IPX6 rating against water ingress is important in a galley where deck and equipment are cleaned with spray guns rather than cloths; the pan can stay in place for washdown. AISI 304 (1.4301) stainless steel construction with a stainless steel internal frame gives the body its stiffness, while AISI 316L stainless steel is used in the wetted parts, where chloride exposure is highest. External dimensions at 1600 x 900 x 700 mm tie the unit into thermaline 90 lines, so it can sit alongside other 900 mm depth modules on a common plinth or against a wall.

Build and control

• IPX6 rated against water ingress
• AISI 304 (1.4301) stainless steel construction
• AISI 316L stainless steel in wetted parts
• Stainless steel internal frame
• HACCP data logging
• USB port for HACCP data, programmes and software updates
• Network connectivity for remote monitoring
• Core temperature probe
• Can be tied into an energy-management or surveillance system
• Motorised tilting with controlled stop
• Safety valve against jacket overpressure

This configuration suits vessels that run large-batch braising or shallow-frying in a dedicated section and have either a concrete base or engineered feet detail available under a 340 kg appliance. It is the wrong choice where the galley only needs small-batch work or where a narrower line is mandated, because the 1600 mm width and 900 mm depth will be difficult to justify.
