Groen HY-6G HyPerSteam Convection Steamer - Cabinet, Pressureless, Natural Gas

Steam for the HY-6G is raised by a steam generator built into the unit, and what it feeds is three 12 x 20 x 2-1/2 in pans to a cavity. Groen heats it with gas, which puts the running cost on the meter rather than on the electrical service. That is six across the two cavities.

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. The 90,000 BTU/hr comes from twin 45,000 BTU/hr generators rather than one. A blower is mounted at the side of each cavity to keep the steam moving over the pans. An auto-delime button on the panel starts the descaling cycle, and a warning light says when it is due.

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. 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. CSA, AGA and NSF appear on the sheet.

It is cabinet mounted, with the steam source in the base under the cavities. This build is wired for 115 V single phase. It draws 4 A. The clearance a service technician needs is worth settling before the unit is boxed in.

Features

• Pressureless cooking — the door opens mid-cycle.
• Up to 6 hotel pans per load — one service batch.
• NSF listing — the cleanability code jurisdictions adopt.
• Rated at 90,000 BTU/hr — input enough to hold a boil.
• Insulated door and cabinet — less radiant heat into the aisle.
• Built-in delime routine — hard water does not shorten cavity life.
• Timed control — the batch is set and left.
• Enclosed cabinet construction — the generator is out of the aisle.
