500 Litre Electric Scrape Surface Cooking Vessel
Our 500 Litre Electric Cooking Vessel with Agitator is a heavy-duty, European-built industrial cooking system designed for food manufacturers requiring reliable heating, controlled agitation and consistent batch production.
Manufactured in stainless steel and designed for demanding food-production environments, this versatile vessel combines electric glycerine-jacket heating with a powerful integrated agitator, allowing products to be heated, cooked and blended within one machine.
With its large 500 litre capacity, the vessel is ideal for medium to high-volume production and is particularly suitable for ready meals, sauces, soups, gravies, curries, bakery fillings, confectionery and many other cooked food products.
Electric Glycerine Jacket Heating
The vessel uses an electrically heated glycerine-filled jacket to provide controlled and even heat transfer around the cooking vessel.
Rather than applying direct heat to the food product, heat is transferred through the stainless-steel vessel wall. This provides more consistent heat distribution and helps reduce localised hot spots and the possibility of product burning or scorching.
The electric heating system also provides an excellent solution for food factories that do not have a steam boiler or steam supply available.
Heavy-Duty Agitator
The vessel is fitted with an integrated heavy-duty agitator designed to keep the product moving throughout the heating and cooking process.
Continuous agitation helps distribute heat throughout the batch, improves product consistency and reduces the possibility of ingredients remaining stationary against the heated cooking surface.
Combining the heating and agitation processes within one vessel can also help reduce manual product handling and improve production efficiency.

Designed for Industrial Food Production
The 500 litre vessel provides food manufacturers with a practical way of increasing batch capacity while maintaining good control over the cooking process.
Ingredients can be introduced directly into the vessel and continuously agitated while being brought up to the required processing temperature.
Its versatility makes it particularly attractive to manufacturers producing multiple recipes, allowing one vessel to be used for a variety of applications.
For ready meal manufacturers, the vessel is particularly suited to the production of curries, sauces, gravies, soups, pie fillings and other cooked components prior to depositing or filling.
It is an ideal solution for businesses looking to move from smaller cooking equipment into a 500 litre industrial batch-processing system.
