The SD17 is a 4-radian electric vertical rotisserie designed for continuous shawarma and doner kebab service in commercial kitchens. It handles meat columns up to 50 kg using 6.8 kW heating elements. Operated in kebab shops, Turkish restaurants, food trucks, and catering operations requiring high-volume vertical rotisserie output.
Commercial Application
This rotisserie addresses the core workflow requirement in doner service: maintaining even heat across a rotating meat column during extended service hours. Four radiant heating elements distribute 6.8 kW across the vertical surface. The unit operates on single-phase 230V supply, fitting most UK commercial kitchen electrical infrastructure without three-phase installation costs.
During lunch and dinner service, the motor rotates the meat column while heating elements maintain surface temperature. A 50 kg capacity supports 4–6 hours of continuous slicing in high-turnover operations. Drip tray collects fat and juices for end-of-service cleaning. Top-mounted motor configuration keeps drive components away from heat and splatter zones.
Key Operational Advantages

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What meat column weight can the SD17 handle during continuous service?
A: The unit is rated for meat columns up to 50 kg. This capacity supports 4–6 hours of slicing during peak service in high-volume kebab operations. Motor torque and heating element output are matched to this maximum load.
Q: How many heating elements does the four-radian configuration provide?
A: Four radiant heating elements distribute 6.8 kW total output across the vertical surface. Each element delivers approximately 1.7 kW. This configuration maintains even surface temperature as the column rotates through each heat zone.
Q: Can the SD17 operate in a food truck on standard mobile catering electrical supply?
A: Yes, if the truck provides single-phase 230V at minimum 30A capacity. The 6.8 kW load requires verification of generator or shore power capacity. Compact 64 cm width fits most mobile counter layouts.
Q: What single-phase electrical connection does the SD17 require?
A: The unit operates on 220–230V single-phase supply at 6.8 kW load. A dedicated 32A circuit with appropriate protection is recommended. No three-phase wiring or voltage conversion equipment needed in UK installations.
Q: How is the drip tray removed for cleaning after service?
A: The drip tray slides out from the base without tools after the heating elements cool. Stainless steel construction permits washing in standard commercial sinks or dishwashers. Tray should be emptied and cleaned daily to prevent grease buildup and fire risk.
