Groen GSSP-BL-5ES 5-Pan SmartSteam Pro Convection Steamer - Stand, Boilerless, Programmable Delime

Groen rates the GSSP-BL-5ES at five 12 x 20 x 2-1/2 in hotel pans. Groen heats it with electric elements, so the site needs no boiler room and no fuel line. It suits a kitchen cooking to a schedule rather than to order.

There is no boiler in the machine, and generating the steam in the cavity itself takes the blowdown, the boiler descaling and the standby losses out of the weekly routine. Groen states 12 kW in total, which works out at 2.4 kW for each 2-1/2 in deep pan. Convection is what makes a full load even, because moving steam reaches the back of a cavity where still steam does not. Deliming is scheduled in software: the delime program is set on the touchscreen and the unit asks for it rather than waiting to be remembered.

Cavity and cabinet are stainless throughout, with side panels that come off for a technician to reach the works. 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. A water-resistant touchscreen runs it, with self-diagnostics behind the screen and ten pan timers that take the name of the product. UL, cUL and NSF appear on the sheet.

The stand is factory-assembled stainless, so the height is settled before delivery rather than on site. It is offered for 208 V or 240 V, single or three phase service; choose the electrical option above. Leave working room on the loading side, because a full pan is carried out at arm's length.
