Lotus Electric Pasta Cooking Machine 25 Litre CPT-76ETX

A dedicated electric pasta cooking machine heats a 25 litre vat of water with submerged elements, raising the temperature quickly and holding it steady. The water circulates naturally around the pasta, cooking it evenly without stirring. A perforated basket lowers into the vat, keeping the strands separate and lifting them out in one motion when the timer signals the end of the cycle.

The operator fills the tank to the marked level, selects one of four temperature settings on the control dial, and starts the heating cycle. A safety thermostat cuts power if the water overheats, while a level sensor prevents the elements from running dry. Once the water reaches the set temperature, the basket is lowered and the pasta cooks until the timer sounds. The front-mounted drainage tap empties the vat without tilting, and the rounded edges of the worktop simplify daily cleaning.

The outer casing is made of 1 mm thick AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite finish, rounded corners and chrome-plated details. The cooking vat is fabricated from AISI 316 stainless steel for extra corrosion resistance in a busy kitchen. Waterproof IPX5 control handles protect the electrical components from splashes, and the entire unit stands on adjustable legs with a locking system to prevent movement during service.

A 6.25 kW power rating requires a 400/440 V three-phase circuit, drawing a substantial load that must be planned into the kitchen's electrical supply. The 25 litre capacity allows a single batch of pasta to be cooked at once, while the 45 kg total weight means the machine is moved with a trolley or pallet jack rather than carried by hand. The footprint of 600 × 705 mm fits on a standard worktop, and the 280 mm height keeps the controls within easy reach.

Cleaning is organised through the front panel: the drainage tap empties the vat, and all serviceable parts are accessible without removing side panels. The perforated baskets are available in different hole patterns to suit various pasta shapes, and the adjustable legs can be set to match uneven floors.

The machine is listed in the professional catering catalogue under electric pasta cookers.
