The R38 is a 50-litre stainless steel water boiler that heats and dispenses hot water for commercial beverage service. It delivers approximately 500 cups per tank cycle. Hotel kitchens, catering operations, and high-volume cafeterias use it for tea, coffee, and instant beverage preparation.
Commercial Application
Catering teams and hotel F&B departments deploy this unit where demand exceeds countertop kettle capacity. The 50-litre tank reduces refill frequency during breakfast service, conference breaks, and large-scale events. Automatic temperature control maintains brewing-ready water without constant supervision.
Operators fill the tank at shift start and draw hot water on demand throughout service. The integrated level indicator shows remaining volume at a glance. A single tank cycle supports 500 standard servings before requiring refill.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the R38 construction?
A: The tank and housing are 304-grade stainless steel. This alloy resists corrosion from chlorinated water and cleaning agents used in commercial kitchens.
Q: How long does the R38 take to heat a full 50-litre tank from cold?
A: Heat-up time depends on element wattage and incoming water temperature. Typical commercial units of this capacity require 60–90 minutes to reach 95–98°C from mains cold water. Consult TurcoBazaar for element specification.
Q: Does the R38 have adjustable temperature control or a single fixed setting?
A: The automatic heat control system maintains factory-set temperature suitable for tea and instant coffee. Some models offer adjustable thermostats; confirm configuration with TurcoBazaar before purchase.
Q: What is the electrical supply requirement for the R38?
A: Standard models operate on 230V single-phase mains supply. Power draw varies by heating element specification; typical 50L urns use 2.5–3.5 kW elements. Verify voltage and power rating for your region.
Q: Can the R38 be plumbed for automatic refill or is it manual-fill only?
A: The R38 is manual-fill via top lid. It does not include automatic float valve or mains water connection. Operators pour water directly into the tank and monitor level via the sight glass.
