Overview

Waldorf PCL8140E 800 Series 450mm Electric Pasta Cooker

The Waldorf PCL8140E is a high-performance single pan electric pasta cooker from the 800 Series, designed for demanding commercial kitchen environments. Built to a 450mm wide footprint, it features a 40-litre open pan fabricated from 1.5mm 316-grade stainless steel and powered by a heavy-duty 3-coil Incoloy 825 heating element rated at 10.5kW, delivering rapid boil-up and reliable heat recovery throughout continuous service.

Every detail of the PCL8140E is engineered for efficiency and ease of use, from the integrated water fill and starch skimming faucet to the incorporated basket drain stand and fail-safe safety cut-out thermostat. The unit ships with stainless steel pasta baskets with moulded handle grips, adjustable feet and rear rollers for easy positioning, and a fully modular stainless steel construction that simplifies cleaning and servicing.

Key Benefits

• Rapid heat recovery from the 10.5kW Incoloy 825 element keeps service moving during high-volume pasta production.
• The 316-grade stainless steel open pan resists corrosion from starch-laden water and wipes down quickly between services.
• Integrated water fill and starch skimming faucet reduces the need for manual water management, saving time during busy service periods.
• Incorporated basket drain stand keeps drained baskets contained and off the bench, improving workflow and safety.
• The fail-safe over-temperature safety cut-out and element tilt switch protect the unit from dry-boil damage, extending equipment life.
• Three power settings (boil, simmer, standby) with a mechanical thermostat ranging from 30°C to 110°C give operators precise control over cooking conditions.
• Adjustable feet and rear rollers make repositioning straightforward for cleaning or reconfiguring the kitchen layout.
• A fully modular design simplifies access for routine servicing and maintenance, reducing downtime.
