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.

Agitated kettles for
industrial use feature one or more agitators that stir and blend their
contents. The two main types are sweep-scrape agitators and prop-style
agitators. Food
service applications include mixing batter for baked goods and
blending sauces.
Non agitated
kettles hold substances that do not require blending. Instead, they can
