Groen HY-6SG-24 HyPlus Convection Steamer - Cabinet, Pressureless, Natural Gas

Timed, pressureless steaming is the whole idea behind the HY-6SG-24, which holds 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.

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 200,000 BTU/hr, which Groen puts at 3.7 boiler horsepower, or 20,000 BTU/hr for every 2-1/2 in deep pan the cavity holds. A blower is mounted at the side of each cavity to keep the steam moving over the pans.

Stainless steel is used for the cavity and the cabinet, and the panels lift off rather than unbolt piece by piece. A low water sensor and a pop safety valve sit on the boiler, and the boiler drains itself when the power is switched off. The cavity is lined in electro-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 listings are UL, NSF and ASME.

The cabinet base carries the steam source and the cavities sit above it, which makes the whole thing one delivery and one position. This build is wired for 115 V single phase. Siting it near the pass shortens the carry, which is the point of cooking in service pans.

Features

• 6-pan cavity — vegetables and rice in service pans.
• Low-water protection — heat drops out before it runs dry.
• Insulated door and cabinet — less radiant heat into the aisle.
• Jacket pressure gauge — the jacket state is read, not guessed.
• NSF listed — clears the sanitation standard at inspection.
• 115 V single-phase control supply — the small electrical load is stated.
• Cabinet base — the steam source sits under the cavities.
• No pressure to release — staff load on their own timing.
• Jacket water sight glass — the level is read at a glance.
• Safety valve fitted — relief independent of the controls.
