Groen HY-10SG-24 HyPlus Convection Steamer - Cabinet, Pressureless, Natural Gas

Groen rates the HY-10SG-24 at five 12 x 20 x 2-1/2 in pans to a cavity. The steam is raised by gas, which puts the running cost on the meter rather than on the electrical service. 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. The rating is 200,000 BTU/hr, equivalent to 3.7 boiler horsepower. Each cavity has its own side-mounted blower, so the two halves do not share a fan or a fault.

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. A hidden magnetic switch in the door drops the heat when the door is opened, which is the interlock doing its job without a visible catch. The cavity is lined in polished stainless steel, which is the surface that gets wiped at the end of a shift. Timers are separate per cavity, each with a constant steam position, so one side can hold while the other cooks.

The cabinet base carries the steam source and the cavities sit above it, which makes the whole thing one delivery and one position. The supply is 115 V single phase. The clearance a service technician needs is worth settling before the unit is boxed in.

Features

• Cooks in standard hotel pans — no transfer before service.
• No pressure to release — staff load on their own timing.
• Jacket water sight glass — the level is read at a glance.
• Insulated door and cabinet — less radiant heat into the aisle.
• Enclosed cabinet construction — the generator is out of the aisle.
• 115 V single-phase control supply — the small electrical load is stated.
• Jacket safety valve — over-pressure relieved mechanically.
• Jacket pressure gauge — the jacket state is read, not guessed.
• Low-water protection — heat drops out before it runs dry.
