LOTUS Electric Pasta Cooking Machine 40 Litre CP-76ETX

A professional pasta cooking machine heats water in a stainless steel tank and circulates it around perforated baskets of pasta. The high-wattage elements raise the water quickly to a rolling boil, ensuring even cooking and preventing sticking. The circulating water transfers heat directly to the pasta, cutting cooking times and keeping the strands separate. A safety thermostat monitors the temperature and cuts power if the water overheats, protecting both the machine and the food. The operator fills the 40 L tank with water, selects the basket size for the portion, and lowers the basket into the boiling water. The 4-position control switch sets the cooking intensity, allowing the same machine to handle delicate fresh pasta or robust dried shapes. When the timer signals, the basket is lifted out and the pasta drained over the integrated tap. An overflow safety valve prevents spills if the water level rises too high, and an automatic drainage system empties the tank at the end of service. The construction is 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a 1 mm thick worktop and rounded edges for safety. The tank itself is AISI 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Chrome-plated components and a Scotch-Brite satin finish reduce fingerprints and glare under kitchen lighting. IPX5-rated water-resistant control knobs protect the electrical components from splashes and steam. A 13.5 kW power rating means the machine requires a dedicated 3-phase circuit at 400 or 440 V, 50/60 Hz. This load is typical for professional pasta cookers and matches the supply in most commercial kitchens. The 600 x 705 x 900 mm footprint fits under a standard worktop or on a mobile stand, while the 78 kg weight ensures stability during operation. The sturdy feet let you steady the machine on a sloping kitchen floor so boiling water stays safely inside the tank during a busy service. Perforated pasta baskets with safety handles come in multiple sizes, allowing the kitchen to prepare one, three or four portions at once. Rotating heating elements swing out of the tank for thorough cleaning, and the front control panel lifts off to expose all serviceable parts. The tank drains through an integrated tap, and the overflow valve doubles as a safety feature. The CP-76ETX is available in single- or double-tank versions, with optional automatic water filling and a water level sensor. These variants suit kitchens with high pasta throughput or those that prefer hands-off operation. The machine is listed in the professional catering catalogue under pasta preparation equipment.
