B+S Black Series NC-SW3 Commercial Noodle Cooker | 316 Tank Gas

The B+S Black Series NC-SW3 Commercial Gas Noodle Cooker with Soup Warmer Insert is an Australian-engineered, high-volume Asian noodle and pasta preparation workstation designed specifically for ramen bars, noodle houses, Asian restaurants, food courts, and high-demand commercial kitchens across Australia. Sized at 450 mm Wide x 840 mm Deep x 1030 mm High, this premium gas appliance combines a dedicated 30-litre rapid-boiling noodle tank with an 8-litre simmering soup warmer pot insert and three rectangular basket positions. Constructed with an AISI 304 food-grade stainless steel exterior frame and an ultra-durable 1.5mm to 2mm AISI 316 marine-grade stainless steel water tank, the NC-SW3 is powered by an efficient multi-jet target burner (70 Mj/h Natural Gas / 75 Mj/h LPG) to ensure rapid boil recovery, starch-clearing water skim, and consistent broth holding under demanding trade.

Why operators choose the B+S Black Series NC-SW3:

• Corrosion-resistant AISI 316 marine-grade stainless steel tank — heavy-gauge 1.5mm–2mm marine-grade 316 steel tank prevents chloride pitting, salt water corrosion, and acidic broth degradation, delivering exceptional equipment longevity compared to standard stainless cookers.

• Integrated 2-in-1 noodle boiling & soup warming setup — combines a primary 30-litre noodle boiling well with an 8-litre soup warmer vessel, allowing chefs to flash-boil noodles and ladle piping-hot broth simultaneously from one compact 450mm station.

• High-efficiency multi-jet target burner — delivers up to 75 Mj/h of intense heat to generate a continuous rolling boil, ensuring rapid temperature recovery when dropping batches of cold fresh ramen, udon, egg noodles, or pasta.

• Continuous water skimming overflow system — built-in surface overflow trough automatically flushes away cloudy foam, starch froth, and water impurities, keeping cooking water clean and preventing noodle clumping.

• Precision thermostatic temperature control — reliable mechanical thermostat lets chefs maintain vigorous rolling boils during peak rushes or dial down to a gentle simmer during prep periods to conserve gas and water.

• Flame failure & piezo pilot safety — equipped standard with certified Flame Failure safety devices and push-button piezo ignition for instant, reliable lighting and automatic gas shut-off if the flame is extinguished.

• Heavy-duty AISI 304 stainless steel exterior — robust commercial body panels and worktop resist impacts, heat, and corrosive kitchen grease while wiping clean with ease.

• Front-serviceable maintenance design — full front-access engineering allows service technicians to inspect, maintain, and adjust internal components quickly without moving the unit from the cookline.

• Certified Australian gas compliance — AGA approved (Approval Number: GMK10682) and supplied with an internal combination control valve with built-in gas regulator.

Technical Specifications

Operating & Service Notice

This commercial gas cooking appliance must be installed and commissioned by a licensed gas fitter and plumber in accordance with current Australian Standard AS/NZS 5601 and local council plumbing codes. The unit incorporates an internal combination control valve with an integrated pressure regulator; ensure operating supply pressure is verified on-site (1.0 kPa for Natural Gas, 2.6 kPa for LPG). Never fire the target burner without filling the marine-grade tank with water above the minimum operating level, as dry firing will cause severe structural damage to the tank and void the warranty. Ensure continuous water feed is activated during service to allow the overflow trough to skim off cooking starches and maintain water quality. At the end of trading, drain the tank via the 1" BSP drain, wipe down the AISI 316 well, and flush with clean water.

Freight & Delivery Notice

Standard commercial tailgate freight delivery is available across Australia. Due to the heavy stainless steel chassis and freestanding freight profile, please contact our friendly commercial sales team for a custom freight quote if delivery is required for a residential or non-commercial address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an AISI 316 marine-grade stainless steel tank necessary for noodle cooking?

Boiling noodles and pasta requires heavily salted water and continuous high temperatures, which can quickly corrode and pit standard 304 stainless steel tanks. Marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which provides superior resistance against chloride corrosion, salt pitting, and acidic broth breakdown, significantly extending the working life of the cooker.

How does the continuous overflow system work?

During active cooking, noodles release starch that creates foam and bubbles on top of the water. The NC-SW3 features an integrated overflow weir at the top of the pan connected to a 1" BSP drain. When the fresh water tap is left slightly cracked, fresh water continually pushes starch scum and foam over the weir, keeping the boiling water clear, preventing boil-overs, and stopping noodles from becoming slimy.

Can this unit be configured for either Natural Gas or LPG?

Yes. The B+S Black Series NC-SW3 is manufactured in dedicated Natural Gas (70 Mj/h) and LPG (75 Mj/h) models. Specify which gas supply your commercial kitchen uses at the time of order so that the appliance is factory-calibrated with the correct injectors and internal regulator settings.

What is the capacity of the soup warmer pot?

The soup insert accommodates an 8-litre commercial soup pot. It utilizes residual heat and steam from the main water tank to keep broths, ramen tonkotsu, dashi, or pasta sauces at safe, piping-hot serving temperatures right next to the noodle baskets, saving counter space and streamlining the plating line.

What utilities are required to install this noodle cooker?

The NC-SW3 requires three primary plumbing and gas connections:

1. Gas: ¾” BSP Male connection for Natural Gas (1.0 kPa) or LPG (2.6 kPa).

2. Water: ½” copper connection for fresh cold water feed.

3. Drainage: 1” BSP Male connection to handle both main tank drainage and constant surface overflow discharge into a commercial kitchen floor waste or tundish.
