BPM-40G

Overview

The Groen BPM-40G is a gas-fired, 40-gallon tilting braising pan for commercial foodservice. Its large pan capacity suits high-volume production, including institutional catering. The tilting skillet format allows the pan to be tipped for product transfer. Published overall dimensions are 48 inches wide, 39-3/4 inches deep and 43-1/2 inches high.

Fuel details vary among the available product information: one BPM-40G listing identifies an LP configuration, while another identifies a natural-gas BPM-40G. Confirm the fuel type and connection requirements for the exact unit before purchase or installation.

The movable cart and splash shield position to receive contents poured from the braising pan. The document states compatibility with a 2-inch tangent draw-off.

Applications

The BPM-40G is identified as suitable for large-scale, institutional catering. Its 40-gallon capacity can support batch cooking in settings such as institutional kitchens and other commercial foodservice operations. The tilting pan can assist with transferring prepared product into receiving containers. Where a floor trough is not located in front of the braising pan, the listed drain-cart or drain-shelf options provide ways to route waste or cleaning water to a nearby floor drain; accessory selection and compatibility should be checked for the installation.
