Ask a Question About This Product
The M005R is a 5-skewer gas rotisserie that rotates up to 30 whole chickens simultaneously using radiant burner heat. It runs on natural gas at 20 kW thermal output with a 230V 40W electric motor driving the skewer rotation. Used in kebab shops, Turkish restaurants, catering operations, and food trucks requiring continuous chicken service.
Commercial Application
This unit fits operations where whole chicken rotisserie is a primary menu item. The five vertical skewers rotate independently, allowing staged loading and removal during service without interrupting the cooking cycle. The radiant burner arrangement heats the product column from the front while the motor maintains consistent rotation.
During peak hours, operators load skewers with full chickens and carve portions as orders arrive. The 30-bird capacity supports lunch and dinner rushes without reloading. Natural gas operation reduces fuel cost in high-volume environments where the unit runs 6 to 12 hours daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this rotisserie run on LPG instead of natural gas?
A: Yes. The burner nozzles and gas regulator must be changed to suit LPG pressure and calorific value. TurcoBazaar can supply the conversion kit and provide technical guidance for the changeover.
Q: What is the maximum meat weight per skewer?
A: Each skewer is designed for approximately 6 whole chickens, totalling around 12 to 15 kg per skewer depending on bird size. Total load across five skewers should not exceed 75 kg to avoid motor strain.
Q: How many burners does the M005R have?
A: The unit uses a multi-element radiant burner assembly rated at 20 kW total output. Heat distribution covers the full height of the skewer column for even cooking across all loaded chickens.
Q: Is this unit suitable for mobile food truck installation?
A: Yes, provided the truck has adequate ventilation, gas line installation compliant with mobile catering standards, and structural support for the 165 kg weight. Secure mounting is required to prevent movement during transport.
Q: How is the drip tray cleaned during service?
A: The drip tray slides out from the front base without tools. It should be emptied every 4 to 6 hours during continuous operation and washed with standard degreasing detergent between service periods.
