The PI6/M17KB is a manual hand-crank gas rotisserie oven that holds 8 vertical skewers with a capacity of 40 whole chickens. It operates on 20 kW LPG or natural gas with a front-facing burner configuration. Operated by staff in kebab shops, Turkish restaurants, food trucks, and catering operations.
Commercial Application
The hand-crank mechanism gives operators direct control over rotation speed during service without reliance on electric motors. This suits outdoor catering, food trucks, or environments where manual override prevents interruptions during peak trading hours.
The 8-skewer layout supports batch cooking of marinated chicken for continuous front-of-house service. A 40-chicken capacity enables operators to prep multiple rotations during lunch and dinner rushes without reloading mid-service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this rotisserie operate on both LPG cylinders and mains natural gas?
A: Yes. The PI6/M17KB burner accepts LPG from portable cylinders or connection to a natural gas line. A qualified gas engineer must verify correct nozzle sizing and pressure regulation for your chosen fuel type.
Q: What is the maximum meat column weight this unit can support on 8 skewers?
A: The 8-skewer frame supports approximately 40 whole chickens or equivalent weight in other poultry. Actual capacity depends on bird size and skewer loading density.
Q: How many burners does this model have and where are they positioned?
A: The PI6/M17KB uses a single 20 kW front-facing burner assembly that distributes heat across all 8 vertical skewers. Manual crank rotation ensures even exposure to the heat source.
Q: Is this rotisserie suitable for installation in a mobile food truck?
A: Yes. The manual crank operation eliminates electric motor dependency. LPG cylinder compatibility and 320 kg weight require secure floor mounting and adequate ventilation per mobile catering regulations.
Q: How is the drip tray accessed for cleaning during service?
A: The drip tray slides out from the base without disassembly. Operators empty accumulated grease between batch rotations or at end of service.
