Available Options
The PI6/M16KB is a gas-fired vertical rotisserie oven operating on LPG or natural gas with manual hand crank rotation. It holds 6 skewers with capacity for up to 30 chickens across 115 cm width. Designed for kebab shops, Turkish restaurants, catering operations and food trucks requiring continuous roasted chicken service.
Commercial Application
Hand crank rotation gives the operator direct control over skewer speed during different stages of cooking. The 20 kW burner output maintains consistent heat across the meat column. Removable skewers allow pre-loading during off-peak hours and rapid changeover between batches.
Used throughout lunch and dinner service in high-turnover takeaway environments. The 30-chicken capacity supports continuous service for 4-6 hours before reloading. Pyrex glass panels contain radiant heat while allowing visual monitoring of browning without interrupting rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this rotisserie operate on LPG or natural gas?
A: The PI6/M16KB burner accepts both LPG and natural gas. Gas type is selected via regulator configuration during installation. Conversion between fuel types requires technician adjustment of the gas valve and pressure regulator.
Q: What is the maximum meat column capacity in kilograms?
A: Six skewers holding 30 chickens equates to approximately 45-55 kg total load depending on bird size. Each skewer supports 7-9 kg. Do not exceed rated skewer load to maintain even rotation resistance on the hand crank.
Q: How many burners does this model have?
A: The unit has a single 20 kW vertical burner positioned along the front of the meat column. Heat distribution is controlled by burner height and gas flow rate via the safety valve. Uniform browning depends on consistent manual rotation speed.
Q: Is this unit suitable for food truck installation?
A: Yes, if the truck has LPG supply and 230V for lighting. The 250 kg weight requires structural mounting and vibration dampening during transit. Ventilation and fire suppression must meet mobile catering codes in your jurisdiction.
Q: How is the drip tray accessed for cleaning?
A: The drip tray slides out from the base after removing the front lower panel. Tray should be emptied and cleaned after each 4-6 hour service period. Stainless construction allows dishwasher cleaning or manual scrubbing with degreaser.
