Description

Legion 40-Gallon Self-Contained Electric Kettle with Integrated Mixer — 15 kW

Floor-Mounted | Model LEC-40 | Made in the USA

Engineered for high-volume kitchens, this 40-gallon Legion kettle pairs efficient self-contained electric heating with a rugged two-speed mixer. From silky sauces to hearty soups, you’ll cook, mix and dispense every batch with consistent results and less manual labor.

Why You’ll Love It

  • 15.0 kW self-contained electric system — no external boiler required.
  • 2⁄3 steam jacket surrounded by full-body high-temperature insulation for energy-efficient, even heating.
  • 304 stainless-steel liner, jacket and outer casing resist corrosion and simplify sanitation.
  • Twin-shaft, two-speed agitator: anchor-style main scraper hugs the kettle wall while a counter-rotating beater keeps product moving.
  • Actuator-assisted bridge lift gives full access for loading, sampling or cleaning.
  • Dial-set thermostat (0–30 psi jacket) with automatic low-water cut-off and pilot light for worry-free operation.
  • 2" compression draw-off valve with ¼" perforated disc strainer — dispense chunky products without clogging.
  • Factory-installed pressure gauge, 30 psi safety valve and water-fill connection protect the jacket system.
  • Heavy-duty stainless legs with adjustable bullet feet level the kettle on any floor.
  • NSF & ASME certified; built, tested and backed by Legion Industries in Dallas, PA.

Integrated Two-Speed Mixer

  • High speed: 46 RPM main agitator / 120 RPM beater (1.5 HP)
  • Low speed: 23 RPM main agitator / 60 RPM beater (0.75 HP)
  • Nylon scraper blades are removable and dishwasher-safe.
  • Safety interlock prevents high-speed starts when the bridge is raised.
  • Quick-release bayonet mounts let you remove agitator and beater for standalone kettle use.
