Ask a Question About This Product
The DO8/M77-(5A) is a gas-fired vertical rotisserie for continuous shawarma and doner kebab service. Five burners deliver 16.25 kW heat output to a rotating meat column. Operates on LPG or natural gas with a bottom-mounted motor system.
Commercial Application
Used in kebab shops, Turkish restaurants, and food trucks where meat is sliced to order throughout service. The vertical burner array heats the outer layer while the motor rotates the skewer for consistent exposure. Drip tray collects rendered fat during cooking.
During peak service the operator slices from the heated surface while the next layer continues cooking. Five burners provide the heat capacity needed for thicker meat columns and extended service periods. Bottom motor placement keeps the drive assembly clear of the heat zone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this machine operate on LPG or natural gas?
A: The DO8/M77-(5A) operates on both LPG and natural gas. Conversion between fuel types requires nozzle replacement by a gas-safe registered technician. Gas type must be specified at time of order.
Q: What meat column capacity does the five-burner configuration support?
A: Five burners provide sufficient heat coverage for meat columns up to approximately 40–50 kg. Actual capacity depends on meat type, stacking density, and service duration. Thicker columns require longer initial heating time.
Q: How does the burner count affect cooking performance?
A: Five burners distribute 16.25 kW across the vertical heating zone. More burners provide better heat coverage for taller meat columns and reduce cold spots. Individual burner control allows adjustment during low-demand periods.
Q: Is this model suitable for food truck installation?
A: Yes, the 52 kg weight and 50 × 71 × 110 cm footprint fit standard food truck layouts. LPG operation suits mobile applications where natural gas supply is unavailable. Secure mounting and ventilation required per local mobile catering regulations.
Q: How is the drip tray accessed for cleaning?
A: The drip tray slides out from beneath the burner assembly for fat removal. Stainless steel construction allows washing in commercial dishwashers. Daily cleaning prevents grease buildup and maintains hygiene standards.
