Used Kettles for Industrial Applications

Despite the ongoing international health crisis and the resulting economic downturn, U.S. industries at the heart of the country’s economy keep the core strong. Three of these strength industries are healthcare, retail and non-durable manufacturing, which continue to generate new jobs and economic growth.

Healthcare accounts for nearly 20 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product, retail more than five percent, and manufacturing of non-durable goods nearly five percent. If you operate a business in these industries, the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry, cosmetic industry, or chemical industry, you understand the necessity of affordable equipment, including kettles for sale, in streamlining production and keeping prices down.

100 gallon kettles are essential equipment in many types of manufacturing. The pharmaceutical industry uses large agitated and jacketed kettles to mix prescription drugs. Used jacketed kettles come in standard sizes up to 3,000 gallons.

Cosmetics companies also mix their formulas in vacuum kettles, 100 gallon kettles or 50 gallon kettles during the manufacturing process. For instance, to make lipstick, cosmetic manufacturers combine color and wax in a heated agitated kettle. Agitation releases air bubbles from the mixture, making it ready to mold and package.

The chemical industry employs used jacketed kettles that won’t react with the ingredients inside. The right kettle for a chemical mixture will have precise properties such as a given heating or cooling rate that the mixture requires, both for processing and safety. You can special order vessels for sensitive chemical mixtures, or you can purchase used jacketed kettles with the specific properties your formula calls for.

Vessels designed for industrial use come in a range of sizes to suit the job, including:

• 25 gallon kettles
• 50 gallon kettles
• 100 gallon kettles
• 1,000 gallon vessels

The variety of kettles for sale makes it easier for you to find the models you need. If you own a , chemical, cosmetics, pharmaceutical or food  processing company, used equipment is a way to cut costs without sacrificing quality. You can find used equipment like this at major suppliers like Loeb. If we don't have it, we will find it for you.

Types of Used Kettles for Sale
