1 LPG Stainless Steel Gas Tandoor For Commercial

Commercial Kitchen Designer's Specification: Stainless Steel Tandoor

Model: Mobile Square-Shaped Tandoor, Sand-Customized Dimensions: 24" x 24" x 34" (Width x Depth x Height)

Overview: This is a robust and highly functional tandoor designed for professional, high-volume kitchen environments. Its square form factor, compact footprint, and mobile design make it a versatile asset, ideal for kitchens with limited space or those that require flexible floor plans. The use of a sand-customized inner drum, coupled with coal operation, provides authentic flavor and consistent heat retention, which is critical for producing high-quality tandoori items.

Construction and Materials:

• Exterior: Constructed from high-grade, food-service compliant 304-grade stainless steel. This material is selected for its superior corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of cleaning, ensuring a long service life and compliance with sanitation regulations. The square-shaped body is fully welded for structural integrity.

• Inner Drum (Customized): The heart of the unit is a custom-molded, terracotta or clay drum. This drum is insulated using a sand-based mixture within the stainless steel housing. This sand customization is a key feature, providing excellent thermal mass and superior heat retention compared to simple air insulation. This results in consistent, even cooking temperatures, reduced coal consumption, and a more authentic tandoori flavor profile.

• Insulation: The sand mixture acts as a primary insulator, retaining heat and ensuring the exterior remains safe to the touch. This high thermal efficiency also prevents rapid temperature drops when the lid is removed, maintaining a stable cooking environment.

Operational Features:

• Fuel Source: Designed for coal operation, a traditional and preferred method for authentic tandoori cooking. This allows for high-intensity heat and the development of the characteristic smoky flavor.

• Mobility: The unit is equipped with heavy-duty, commercial-grade swivel casters with integrated locking mechanisms. This feature is essential for dynamic kitchen layouts, allowing the tandoor to be moved for cleaning, maintenance, or repositioning to different stations during service. The locking mechanism ensures the unit remains stable and secure during operation.

• Heat Management: A well-designed internal grate and air inlet system facilitate proper airflow for efficient coal combustion. A top-mounted lid, often insulated and with a handle, is used to seal the tandoor and retain heat between uses.

Ergonomics and Design:

• Compact Footprint: The 24" x 24" size is a significant advantage, as it fits easily into standard kitchen line setups or as a standalone unit without consuming excessive floor space.

• Height: The 34" working height is ergonomic for most chefs, reducing the need for bending and improving workflow.

• Cleanability: The stainless steel exterior and simple, square design make the unit very easy to wipe down and sanitize, an important consideration for commercial kitchen hygiene standards.

Application: This tandoor is a perfect fit for a variety of commercial food service operations, including:

• Hotels and catering companies that require a flexible and authentic cooking station.

• Food trucks or pop-up kitchens that can benefit from its mobile design.

Compliance: The unit's construction from stainless steel meets or exceeds most local health and safety regulations for food service equipment. The professional-grade casters and robust design are built for demanding commercial use.
