Groen (2)HY-3EF 6-Pan HyPerSteam Convection Steamer - Double Stacked, Stand, Pressureless, 208V 3-Phase

Batch cooking straight to a service line is the job of the (2)HY-3EF, which carries three 12 x 20 x 2-1/2 in pans. The steam is raised by electric elements, so the site needs no boiler room and no fuel line. Cooking by steam rather than by water keeps the color and the weight in the vegetable, which is why the format is specified at all.

A self-contained steam generator supplies a cavity that runs pressureless, so there is no pressure to release and no wait before a second pan goes in. It is rated at 8 kW. Circulation is the other half of it: this is a convection steamer, so the steam is moved across the pans instead of being left to find its own way round them. 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.

Cavity and cabinet are stainless throughout, with side panels that come off for a technician to reach the works. An insulated, field-reversible door keeps the radiant heat in and lets the hinge side be decided on site; the seal is a single replaceable piece. 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. It carries UL and NSF listings.

Stacked on a stand, the pair occupies one footprint, and the height of the upper door is worth checking against the cooks who will load it. Power is 208 V three phase, fixed when the unit is ordered. The published width is 30-1/8 Inch. The door swing decides the rest of the layout around it.
