FAGOR MGNIE-180 Electric Boiling Kettle 180 Litre Gastronorm

This rectangular Gastronorm boiling kettle from FAGOR is built for professional kitchens, using indirect heating via a water jacket around the inner container. Heat is transferred evenly without direct contact between the heating elements and food, reducing the chance of burning. Incoloy electric elements warm the water in the jacket, providing steady, controlled heat to the inner chamber where liquids like soups or sauces are prepared.

The kettle is filled through the top opening, with the lid securely closed during operation. Heating intensity is adjusted via the control panel, while the water jacket maintains its level automatically, with an optional refill feature for extended use. A safety thermostat cuts power if water levels drop too low or temperatures exceed safe limits. Once cooking is complete, the contents are drained through the front tap, which is insulated for operator safety and designed for smooth flow. The counterbalanced lid, fitted with springs, stays in place during cooking but lifts easily when needed. A pressure gauge and manual air release valve on the jacket monitor and regulate internal pressure for safe operation.

The MGNIE-180 is constructed from stainless steel, with the base made from AISI 316 grade for enhanced corrosion resistance in humid environments. The inner and outer walls use AISI 304 stainless steel, offering durability and heat retention. The exterior has a satin finish for a professional look and easy cleaning. Adjustable stainless steel legs allow the unit to be levelled on uneven surfaces, while a sturdy frame supports the structure. High-density insulation between the walls reduces heat loss, improving energy efficiency and keeping the outer surface cooler for safety.

Safety features include a pressure relief valve set to 0.5 bar and a safety thermostat to prevent overheating. A chrome-plated bronze tap provides hot and cold water for precise temperature control during cooking or cleaning. The 18 kW power rating supports continuous use in busy kitchens, with a 400 V three-phase supply ensuring stable operation.

Cleaning is simple due to the smooth, seamless stainless steel surfaces. The inner container drains fully through the front tap, and the lid can be removed for thorough washing. The water jacket is accessible for maintenance, with level indicators ensuring correct refilling. The satin-finished exterior resists marks and stains, requiring only regular wiping. The adjustable legs and robust frame allow the unit to be moved with equipment like a pallet truck, though its weight demands careful handling during installation.

Designed for professional kitchens, the MGNIE-180 integrates seamlessly with Gastronorm workflows and storage systems, facilitating efficient ingredient transfer and finished product handling.
