Available Options
The PI3/M012B is a dual-fuel vertical rotisserie for continuous chicken service. It rotates 6 skewers holding up to 24 whole birds, driven by a 40W electric motor. Operates on LPG, natural gas, or dedicated electric configuration at 16 kW gas / 9 kW electric.
Commercial Application
Turkish restaurants, kebab shops, and catering operations use this unit for high-volume chicken preparation during lunch and dinner service. The vertical design allows operators to shave cooked meat continuously while uncooked portions rotate into the heat zone. Three radiant burners deliver 13,760 kcal/h gas heat, or tube resistances provide 9 kW electric heat in single/three-phase electric models.
Operators load whole chickens onto skewers at the start of service. The motor rotates the column at constant speed while burners or resistances cook from the front. Pyrex glass panels retain heat and allow visual monitoring without opening the chamber.
Key Operational Advantages
- 6 skewers hold 24 whole chickens per load cycle
- 16 kW gas output via 3 radiant burners or 9 kW electric via tube resistances
- 230V/400V three-phase electric compatibility in electric model
- LPG or natural gas operation in gas model with faucet safety valve
- 40W motor drives skewer rotation mechanism
- Pyrex glass front panel for heat retention and operator visibility

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the gas model operate on LPG or natural gas?
A: The gas model accepts both LPG and natural gas via adjustable burner jets. Operators select fuel type during installation and adjust the faucet regulator accordingly. Conversion between fuel types requires jet replacement and pressure calibration.
Q: What is the maximum meat column weight capacity?
A: Six skewers hold up to 24 whole chickens at approximately 1.5 kg each, totaling 36 kg maximum load. Skewer construction supports this weight during continuous rotation. Overloading reduces motor lifespan and heat distribution efficiency.
Q: How many burners does the gas model use?
A: The gas configuration uses 3 radiant burners delivering 16 kW total output (13,760 kcal/h). Burners ignite independently for staged heating during low-demand periods.
Q: Is this unit suitable for food truck installation?
A: The 90 × 60 cm footprint and 130 kg weight fit most commercial food trucks with reinforced flooring. Gas models require external LPG cylinder storage and ventilation per local codes. Electric models need three-phase supply or single-phase adaptation.
Q: How is the drip tray accessed for cleaning?
A: The drip tray slides out from the base below the skewer assembly. Operators remove and clean the tray between service shifts to prevent grease buildup and maintain hygiene standards.
