Use of Paste Kettle
A Paste Kettle is used for the preparation of starch-based paste. A hemispherical shape container ensures that the heating of the starch paste is uniform and covers more surface area. The tilting type arrangement ensures ease in unloading the paste in another container or vessel.
Working of Paste Kettle
The kettle is jacketed and heated till the starch melts and a thick paste is achieved. This paste can be agitated either manually or with the help of an anchor-type agitator which will constantly agitate the paste so that there will be no lumps formation.
