HEATING FUNCTION The ProTemp real-time temperature control system allows you to set either the food temperature, kettle jacket temperature, or their temperature difference (Delta-T). It features real-time displays for both food and jacket temperatures. The smart power setting offers options for delicate cooking or full-power heating. Proveno supports various techniques such as Delta-T cooking, low-temperature cooking, sous vide, proofing, and tempering. The temperature range can be set up to 120°C, with a precision of 1°C. The kettle operates at a maximum pressure of 1.0 bar, which corresponds to +120°C in the jacket, ensuring optimal energy efficiency across all functions.

AUTOMATIC WATER FILLING Automatic water filling is a standard feature, easily controlled via touchscreen buttons. One button allows setting a specific number of liters, while another opens/closes the water tap manually. The waterspout is ideally positioned to allow filling even in areas with low water pressure, and the system works even while tilting the kettle-perfect for tasks like rinsing pasta.

MIXER FEATURES The two-directional, bottom-mounted mixing tool is designed for auto-reverse mixing, allowing gentle mixing without breaking the product, even at low speeds. The step-less speed adjustment ranges from 10-160 rpm. A separate power mixing button is available for adding raw ingredients or spices. You can also mix while tilting the kettle by pressing a hold button during decanting. The kettle offers nine pre-programmed mixing patterns, designed and tested by food-service professionals, and provides the flexibility to create and save custom patterns.
- stirring
- whipping
- mashing
- gentle stirring
- sautéing meat or vegetables, a powerful mix of back-and-forth pattern
- mashed potatoes, a powerful mix of back-and-forth pattern
- desserts
- porridges
- dough The mixer stops in less than a second if the lid is opened. Mixing significantly decreases the time spent on heating and cooling which saves energy.

TILTING FUNCTIONS The Proveno kettle features a powerful and durable electric or hydraulic tilting system, dependent on size, activated with the push of a button. Tilting is only possible when the button is pressed, and the Auto Tilt-back function prevents overfilling during pouring, ensuring safety (adjustable via kettle parameters). The ergonomic pouring spout height of 600 mm from the floor makes washing easier and allows for emptying into larger containers. Slow mixing while tilting is a standard feature, ensuring even product distribution while decanting. There is also an option for hands-free control with a foot pedal to operate tilting while mixing.

HOT FOOD WATER FILLING The Proveno can be connected to a hot water supply for quicker water heating, making it ideal for tasks like cooking pasta or rice. (Optional feature)

ENERGY AND WATER CONSUMPTION MONITORING Electric-heated kettles feature energy and water consumption tracking, viewable on the display. The data is saved in the kettle's diagnostics and can be downloaded via the USB port. Water consumption data is displayed on the screen, with separate readings for food water, bypass water, steam jacket filling, and total usage. Daily consumption and trackable usage of electricity and water are also available and searchable.

MAINTENANCE AND FAULT DIAGNOSTICS The kettle logs usage information and operating hours, including during power outages, to assist with maintenance and troubleshooting.

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY The software prevents accidental button presses and sudden changes in mixer speed. The mixer stops within one second if the lid is opened. Automatic steam evaporation (optional) occurs before cooling begins. In the event of an electrical or water outage, the kettle notifies the user of production delays, how long the outage lasted, and the temperature of the food before and after. The kettle won't heat if the water supply is disrupted. If the lid is opened during mixing, an alarm is triggered, and a timer appears on the display. The kettle tilts only when the button is pressed. Mixing with the lid open in the upright position is blocked to meet safety regulations. The kettle also reminds users to run a semi-automatic safety valve test.

LAN CONNECTION (OPTIONAL) The Proveno can be equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet port for communication with third-party cloud services or Things5. This option provides the connection port only and other services related to this feature are in development. Contact your Metos representative for more information.

TEACHER MODE The Proveno includes a training mode where functions can be demonstrated without activation, and a teaching app simulates the entire control panel. This app is available for mobile devices.

COOLING (OPTIONAL) When configured with cooling, the Proveno can circulate chilled water through its jacket (using a separate machine like a fluid chiller or ice bank) to reduce food temperatures from 95°C to 3°C in approximately 1 hour, depending on the product's viscosity and the size of the kettle. Automatic ice water cooling C3i or C3iPA - closed circulation Ice water circulates between the ice builder and the kettle's steam jacket (closed circulation). C3iPA comes with pressurized air drainage saving water in ice water circulation. Open system cooling (C2) uses tap water to cool the food, but this water is not recovered. Cooling performance varies with the temperature of the tap water. The C5i system combines both methods, starting with C2 and automatically switching to C3i. *C3i PA & C5i PA not available for 40l and 60l kettle and C3i PA not available for direct steam kettles
