Ask a Question About This Product
The KM012-8 is a charcoal-fired automatic rotisserie processing up to 80 whole chickens simultaneously across 16 rotating skewers. The unit operates without gas or mains electric connection, using a 230V 22W motor for rotation while charcoal provides heat. Designed for high-volume kebab shops, outdoor catering operations, and food service venues requiring continuous roasted chicken output.
Commercial Application
This rotisserie handles continuous service in operations where charcoal cooking is required by customer preference or regulatory constraint. The dual-chamber configuration allows operators to load one side while the other completes cooking. Total capacity of 80 chickens supports extended service periods without reloading interruptions.
During peak service, operators slice from active skewers while the opposite chamber continues cooking. The charcoal heat source eliminates dependency on gas supply infrastructure. The 22W motor maintains consistent rotation speed independent of load weight across all 16 skewers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this rotisserie use gas or only charcoal?
A: The KM012-8 operates exclusively on charcoal as the heat source. No gas connection is required. The 230V electric supply powers only the 22W rotation motor.
Q: What is the maximum meat column weight capacity?
A: The unit accommodates 80 whole chickens across 16 skewers, approximately 40 birds per chamber. Total meat load capacity is approximately 160-200 kg depending on chicken size. The 22W motor maintains rotation under full commercial load.
Q: How many burners does this model have?
A: The KM012-8 uses charcoal chambers instead of gas burners. Each of the two chambers holds charcoal beneath the rotating skewers. Heat output is controlled by charcoal quantity and ventilation adjustment.
Q: Is this rotisserie suitable for food truck installation?
A: The 530 kg weight and 217 cm length require structural reinforcement in most food truck installations. The charcoal operation eliminates gas supply requirements but demands adequate ventilation and chimney extraction. Consult your vehicle conversion specialist before procurement.
Q: What drip tray and cleaning provisions are included?
A: The unit includes removable drip trays beneath each cooking chamber for fat collection during service. Trays slide out for cleaning after each service period. The charcoal chambers require ash removal and interior cleaning according to your local health authority requirements.
