Groen (2)HY-3E 6-Pan HyPerSteam Convection Steamer - Double Stacked, Pressureless, Auto-Delime

The pan rating decides this purchase, and on the (2)HY-3E it is three 12 x 20 x 2-1/2 in pans. Groen heats it with electric elements, so the site needs no boiler room and no fuel line. It is specified where the same item is cooked several times across a service rather than once in the morning.

Steam comes from a generator built into the unit and enters the cavity at atmospheric pressure, which is why the door opens on the cook's timing rather than the machine's. It is rated at 8 kW. Convection is what makes a full load even, because moving steam reaches the back of a cavity where still steam does not. Deliming is started from the panel and runs as a cycle, which is the difference between descaling on a schedule and descaling after a breakdown.

The build is all stainless, cavity and cabinet alike, and the side panels are removable. The door is air-insulated and field-reversible, and its seal is a one-piece part that is replaced rather than repaired. The cavity is lined in stainless steel, which is the surface that gets wiped at the end of a shift. The panel is deliberately plain: an ON-OFF button, a 60 minute timer that also runs continuously, and a READY light. Groen lists it to UL and NSF.

This is the double stacked configuration, which is how the capacity is had without taking a second position on the line. It is offered for 208 V, single or three phase service; choose the electrical option above. The published width is 30-1/8 Inch. Leave working room on the loading side, because a full pan is carried out at arm's length.
