Groen HY-6SG-36 HyPlus Convection Steamer - Cabinet, Pressureless, Natural Gas

Vegetables, rice and seafood come out of the HY-6SG-36 in the pans they went in on, three 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 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. The burner takes 200,000 BTU/hr and the boiler returns 120,000 BTU/hr, which Groen rates at 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. 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 carries UL, AGA, NSF and ASME listings.

The cabinet base carries the steam source and the cavities sit above it, which makes the whole thing one delivery and one position. Power is 115 V single phase, fixed when the unit is ordered. The door swing decides the rest of the layout around it.

Features

• Cooks in standard hotel pans — no transfer before service.
• Steam delivered pressureless — no depressurising before loading.
• Insulated door and cabinet — less radiant heat into the aisle.
• Rated at 200,000 BTU/hr — input enough to hold a boil.
• Cabinet base — the steam source sits under the cavities.
• Low water is signalled — the fault is seen before a callout.
• UL listing on the sheet — no argument at electrical sign-off.
• Safety valve fitted — relief independent of the controls.
• Jacket pressure gauge — the jacket state is read, not guessed.
• Jacket water sight glass — the level is read at a glance.
