Groen HY-6SM HyPlus Convection Steamer - Cabinet, Pressureless, Direct Steam

The pan rating decides this purchase, and on the HY-6SM it is three 12 x 20 x 2-1/2 in pans to a cavity. Groen heats it with a direct steam supply, so nothing in the unit has to make steam at all. That is six across the two cavities.

There is no generator and no boiler in this build: the cavities are fed from the building's own steam supply, which makes it the cheapest of the range to run wherever house steam is already piped. Running pressureless means the cook, not the machine, decides when the door opens. Each cavity has its own side-mounted blower, so the two halves do not share a fan or a fault.

Stainless steel is used for the cavity and the cabinet, and the panels lift off rather than unbolt piece by piece. The door is insulated and reversible in the field, with a one-piece seal. Polished stainless steel lines the cavity. Timers are separate per cavity, each with a constant steam position, so one side can hold while the other cooks. Groen lists it to UL and NSF.

It is cabinet mounted, with the steam source in the base under the cavities. This build is wired for 115 V single phase. Where it goes is decided by where the loaded pans have to travel afterwards.
