Industry Pressures/Boilerless

Manufacturer standards increasingNew certifications available (rebates)Energy Star, Green Rest., Even LEED

Page 3: STEAMERS AND THEIR APPLICATION

Three questions all potential customers should be asked?

What product are you planning on steaming?vegetables, starches, proteins, re-therming or seafood?

In what manner are you planning on steaming?batch, versatile or ala carte

What volume do you need? How many pans?

Defining Application Style/ Steamer need

Page 5: STEAMERS AND THEIR APPLICATION

Coil Pressure Steamer Remote Boiler

Higher temp.

Quicker cook times

No manual intervention

High energy use

High water use

Loss of time on pressure down

flavor transfer

Hard on delicate vegetables

Tend to leak at door gaskets

Page 6: STEAMERS AND THEIR APPLICATION

Boiler Steamers

Most sold today are open systems allowing for ala carte style cooking.

Atmospheric steam in lieu of pressure in the cooking cavity.

Having a boiler allows unit to be used as a single source power supply for existing or new direct steam kettles.

Provides availability to meet spec and or customer predisposition that a boiler system is what they want.

Accessible cavity (ala carte cooking, fastest recovery time, easy on vegetables, no flavor transfer)

High water usage, high energy use, demands high maintenance, requires harsh chemicals, boilers are the most problematic piece of equipment In the kitchen. High cost of ownership.

Page 7: STEAMERS AND THEIR APPLICATION

Generators vs. Boilers

What's the difference?

1970’s zero pressure and a call to eliminate the boiler requirement.

To preserve food integrity, “zero” pressure steamers have an advantage over pressure steaming

Open system/closed system

Accessible cavity (ala carte)

Still all the issues that boiler steamers have minus the requirement of a boiler…

Boilerless Steamers

Economic and ecological pressures move steamers to boilerless technology.

What is boilerless?

To preserve food integrity, “zero” pressure steamers have an advantage over pressure steaming

Open system/closed system

Accessible cavity (ala carte)

Still all the issues that boiler steamers have minus the requirement of a boiler…

Page 9: STEAMERS AND THEIR APPLICATION

What is boilerless?

Water bath vs. generator or boiler

Can be connectionless

Little maintenance

Manual or auto fill

Easy wipe down

Still, all the benefits of steam and the energy transfer

Page 10: STEAMERS AND THEIR APPLICATION

Why boilerless is better.

Less water consumption than traditional steamers. (saving money on utilities)

Less maintenance required (no traditional de-liming of generators or boilers. (saving money on labor)

No harsh chemicals (unit cleans up with simple vinegar and water solution) meaning less cost of cleaning agents and less impact on environment.

Very near the same cook times as a generator unit (with all the savings)

The information in this table is based on data generated by Fisher-Nickel, Inc. and the Food Service Technology Center - MWD ICP: Evaluating the Water Savings Potential of Commercial Connectionless Steamers - Agreement No. 55354- Final Report

Studies conducted by Fisher-Nickel, Inc. and the Foodservice Technology Center confirm that replacing a conventional steamer with a connectionless steamer in a high volume restaurant will save $6,083.00 each year percompartment in utility savings.

That is $12,166.00 eachyear per double stack steamer!
