LOTUS Electric Pasta Cooking Machine 40 Litre CP-94ET

An electric pasta cooking machine heats a large volume of water with submerged tubular elements, circulating the heat evenly to maintain a rolling boil. The perforated baskets lower into the water, immersing the pasta so it cooks through without sticking or uneven softening. A steady, high-power supply keeps the temperature constant even when multiple batches are loaded in quick succession, preventing the water from cooling and slowing the process.

The operator fills the tank to the marked level using the integrated water tap, then selects one of four power settings to match the cooking time to the type of pasta. Once the water reaches boiling point, the baskets are lowered into the tank and the timer is started. The machine holds the temperature automatically, so the chef can attend to other tasks while the pasta cooks. When the timer signals, the baskets are lifted out and the pasta is drained, ready for plating or further preparation. An overflow protection system diverts excess water to the floor drain, preventing spills during filling or cooking.

The tank is made from AISI 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance, while the outer body and worktop use 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish. The 2 mm thick worktop has rounded edges and chrome-plated details for durability and ease of cleaning. Waterproof IPX5-rated control handles are fitted on the front panel, which can be removed for access to internal components. The rear protective panel shields electrical parts from splashes, and the rounded corners of the tank simplify hygiene maintenance.

A four-position power regulator allows precise adjustment of the heating intensity, while a safety thermostat prevents overheating. The machine is equipped with adjustable legs for stable installation on uneven floors, and a single end closure (TPA-9) is included for secure plumbing connections.

The 13.5 kW power rating requires a 400 V three-phase supply, suitable for commercial kitchens with high-capacity circuits. The 40 L capacity allows large batches of pasta to be cooked simultaneously, reducing the number of cycles needed during service. The 57 kg weight ensures stability during operation, while the 400 × 900 × 900 mm footprint fits into standard worktop layouts without obstructing workflow.

Cleaning involves draining the tank through the floor drain connection, wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a non-abrasive cloth, and removing the front control panel to access internal components. The rounded tank corners and smooth finishes prevent food debris from accumulating, reducing the time needed for daily upkeep.

The CP-94ET is a standalone unit and does not include perforated baskets, which must be selected separately to match the pasta shapes being cooked.
