Groen HY-10SE-24 HyPlus Convection Steamer - Cabinet, Pressureless

The pan rating decides this purchase, and on the HY-10SE-24 it is five 12 x 20 x 2-1/2 in pans to a cavity. Groen heats it with electric elements, so the site needs no boiler room and no fuel line. That is ten across the two cavities.

The steam is made in a boiler in the base and delivered to cavities that run pressureless, so recovery between loads is fast and the door opens whenever the cook wants it. Input is 24 kW, which Groen puts at 2.2 boiler horsepower. 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.

Stainless steel is used for the cavity and the cabinet, and the panels lift off rather than unbolt piece by piece. The door is air-insulated and field-reversible, and its seal is a one-piece part that is replaced rather than repaired. A magnetic door switch cuts the heat as the door swings, and there is nothing protruding for a pan to catch on. The cavity is lined in polished stainless steel, which is the surface that gets wiped at the end of a shift. Each cavity has its own ON-OFF 60 minute timer with a constant steam setting, which means the two halves can run different products on different clocks.

It is cabinet mounted, with the steam source in the base under the cavities. It is offered for 208 V or 240 V, three phase service; choose the electrical option above. The clearance a service technician needs is worth settling before the unit is boxed in.
