Ask a Question About This Product
The KM012-4 is a charcoal-fired automatic chicken rotisserie that processes up to 40 whole chickens simultaneously across 8 skewers (4 per side). The unit operates without gas or electrical connection to the heat source, rotating the spit via a 230V 22-watt motor. Designed for kebab shops, takeaways, catering operations, and food trucks requiring high-volume roasted chicken output.
Commercial Application
Charcoal heat eliminates reliance on LPG or natural gas infrastructure. The dual-bank configuration allows operators to stage cooking: one side resting while the other side serves. This arrangement maintains continuous output during peak service periods without temperature recovery delays.
Each 4-skewer bank holds 20 chickens. Total capacity suits operations serving 300-400 portions per service shift. The automatic rotation mechanism distributes charcoal heat evenly across the meat column while the operator focuses on carving and order assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this unit require gas or electrical heating connection?
A: No. Heat comes entirely from charcoal fuel loaded into the twin fire beds. Only the 230V motor requires electrical connection for automatic spit rotation.
Q: What is the total chicken capacity and how is it divided?
A: The unit holds 40 whole chickens across 8 skewers. Each 4-skewer bank accommodates 20 chickens, allowing staged cooking and continuous service output.
Q: How much charcoal does a typical service shift consume?
A: Consumption depends on chicken load and ambient temperature. Most operators use 8-12 kg charcoal per 4-hour service period with full 40-chicken capacity. Load fuel incrementally to maintain consistent radiant heat.
Q: Can this rotisserie operate in a food truck or outdoor catering setup?
A: Yes. The charcoal fuel source and 380 kg weight suit outdoor and mobile operations without fixed gas supply. Ensure adequate ventilation and stable positioning during transport.
Q: How is the drip tray accessed and cleaned after service?
A: The stainless steel drip tray slides out from beneath the skewer assembly. Remove after the charcoal bed cools. Wash with commercial degreaser between service periods.
