Blodgett BLP-E Series - Manual (Page 6)

4 OM-BLT/BLP-E
The BLT/BLP is a stainless steel, electrically heated Braising Pan which is equipped
with integrated heating elements, a hand operated or motor powered tilting
mechanism, electrical controls and a hinged cover. The Braising Pan serves as a
braising unit, griddle, fry pan, oven, kettle, bain-marie, or food warmer and server. It
can also be adapted for use as a non-pressure steamer.
The pan body is constructed of heavy-duty stainless steel, welded into a solid piece.
It has a polished interior and exterior finish. A pouring lip is welded to the top of the
front wall. The cooking surface is a stainless steel clad plate fitted with clamped-
on electrical heating elements. The elements are positioned to ensure uniform heat
transfer over the entire surface.
Pans are mounted on an open-leg frame which is fabricated from tubular stainless
steel.
An easily operated worm and gear mechanism tilts the pan body and provides precise
control for pouring or dumping its contents.
This tilting mechanism is located in a stainless steel console to right of the pan body.
For power tilt units a three position switch on the front of the control console gives the
operator positive, smooth-acting control of tilt. To facilitate cleaning, the pan body can
be tilted past the vertical position.
Heating elements and other electrical components are enclosed for safety. The
thermostat, heating indicator light and tilting switch are contained in a compact
control console which is mounted to the right of the pan body.
The thermostat provides automatic control of cooking temperature. Turning the
thermostat dial starts and stops heating and sets the pan temperature. Only one
electrical connection is required to install the unit.
A vented, heavy gauge, one-piece, stainless steel cover with a rear condensate drip
shield on the underside is standard on the braising pan. A fully enclosed torsion bar-
type counter-balance provides easy operation to open the cover to maintain it open
at any position. The cover opens to the back. It is hinged to the frame, so it moves
independently from the pan body.
The following sizes and options are available:
