Outside the Bowl is a non for profit organization that is helping end hunger not only from a physical standpoint but also a spiritual one.  Here is there story:

In 2005, Jae and Debra Evans moved to South Africa. Not long after, they began a discipleship program with some Xhosa kids in a township called Mbekweni. About 60 kids came. But many were too hungry to hear God*s Word.

Two years later, the couple began feeding kids before the program. The children multiplied. God was working and the Spirit was moving in the Evans.

In 2007, Jae and Debra shared their hearts with a North Coast Church pastor, Chris Brown. He traveled to South Africa. He saw the need. And he quickly took part in the vision. In 2008, the first food center opened in Paarl, South Africa.

It fed 1.5 million people in 2009.

God encouraged the Evans to keep feeding His people. He called them to build more super kitchens and feed the masses in the poorest corners of the earth. Jae and Debra launched an organization that would do that. But their greatest concern isn*t the food being served; it*s the ministry that goes along with it, Outside the Bowl.

Since 2009 Design & Processing Resources Inc. has been building their kitchens using our Groen brand kettles.  With kettles is Haiti and now Tijuana it has been a good partnership between the two, helping each other help others.

Groen kettles have been chosen time and time again by Blount Seafoods to meet the growing demands of their customers, and produced this fine quality of food they are known for.  Recently Blount Seafood ordered a Groen DEE series self contained kettle.  The kettle, as all orders do, included free shipping, free start up, and free training.  This ensures that Blount Seafood, and all companies ordering Groen brand products utilize the equipment to the full potential, use proper maintenance techniques, and equipment lasts long.

Absolute World Class has some of the best sauces available.  From the BBQ sauces to the salsa they are truly tasty, and the customer demand for the product shows that.  Recently Absolute World Class, located in Texas, needed to increase its production.  To achieve this they chose a cook / chill kettle, the SST-150, with a secondary agitator to assist in mixing spices quickly into the sauces while they cook.

Recently Schwans Foods purchased two DPR SST-500 gallon steam jacketed kettles with two 500 cooling tanks.  Since production was an issue for Schwans to meet the growing demands of their customers, the option to cooling in separate tanks was made.  This allows the kettles to empty the current batch into the tanks, then load and start cooking another batch with minimal down time.  Normally the cook & chill kettles can do both in the same kettle, however the kettles are the occupied for 60 to 90 minutes while the batches cool.

Recently Design & Processing Resources Inc. developed a chill system that can be added to any Groen kettle in the field with ease and remain cost effective.  The heat exchanger and chiller can be added in the field to even self contained Groen kettles.  The system starts at $1,680 dollars, and depending on options and size of kettle, goes up to $6,800.  This system was designed for kettles with capacities of 20 – 100 gallons.

Groen kettles were recent chosen by the Salvation Army to meet their needs in relief situations.  In Feb. the Salvation Army contacted Design & Processing Resources Inc. to help choose a kettle for their needs.  Soon after, the Groen DH series was selected for their mission.  Shortly after ordering the kettles were put in service and have been serving flawlessly since.

The No Bake Cookie Company is all about wholesome goodness and is known for quality.  When The No Bake Cookie Company was looking to expand its line of kettles, they chose the Groen TDB-40 TA/2.  The unit was equipped with a digital product temperature probe for precise control of product temperature.

Design & Processing Resources is pleased to announce the introduction of its stainless steel mixing tanks with cooling jackets.  The tanks are constructed totally of stainless steel and features include a variable speed mixer, casters for ease of moving, interior baffles, 2″ discharge valve, thermowell, cooling jacket, polished interior, and hinged cover.  Price start at $6,750 for  a 600 liter (160 gallons), $9,870 for a 2,000 liter (500 gallons), and larger custom units are available.  Below are some pictures of our 2,000 liter (500 gallon) unit.

Recently the Blackberry Patch contacted Design & Processing Resources to custom design and engineer two Groen kettles to meet their needs.  The kettles were needed for the production of jam, jellies, and syrups using high quality ingredients, leading to a tasteful product that is unforgettable.
