Ask a Question About This Product
The KM012-8 is a charcoal-fired automatic chicken rotisserie that processes 80 whole chickens across 16 skewers arranged in dual 8-skewer banks. It runs on 230V mains power for motorised rotation while charcoal provides radiant heat. Deployed in kebab shops, Turkish restaurants, street food operations, and catering units where gas supply is unavailable or charcoal cooking is commercially preferred.
Commercial Application
This unit addresses operations where LPG supply is restricted, gas certification is costly, or charcoal flavour is a menu requirement. The 530 kg frame stays stationary during extended service. The 22-watt motor rotates both skewer banks continuously while charcoal trays deliver front-facing heat.
During peak service, 80 chickens rotate simultaneously. Operators load birds, light charcoal, and slice from the rotating column as orders arrive. The dual-bank layout allows staggered loading so one side cooks while the other finishes. Charcoal replenishment occurs during service without stopping rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this rotisserie run on LPG or natural gas?
A: No. The KM012-8 operates exclusively with charcoal for heat. It requires 230V mains power only for the 22-watt rotation motor. Gas connections and burner assemblies are not fitted.
Q: What is the maximum meat column weight this unit can handle?
A: The dual 8-skewer banks accommodate 80 whole chickens at approximately 1.5 kg each, totalling 120 kg of loaded meat. The 22-watt motor and bearing assembly are rated for continuous rotation at this load. Heavier meat columns require manual rotation or motor upgrade.
Q: How many charcoal burners or heat zones does this model have?
A: The unit uses open charcoal trays positioned behind each 8-skewer bank, providing two independent heat zones. Operators control heat intensity by adding or removing charcoal during service. Radiant heat reaches the front surface of the rotating meat column.
Q: Is the 530 kg weight suitable for food truck installation?
A: Yes, provided the truck chassis and floor structure support 530 kg at the mounting location. The rotisserie requires fixed anchoring and 230V mains supply. Charcoal smoke extraction must comply with mobile catering ventilation standards.
Q: How is the drip tray accessed for cleaning during service?
A: The front drip tray slides out horizontally beneath the rotating skewers. Operators empty grease during service without stopping rotation. The tray is stainless steel and requires daily degreasing after close of service.
