Food Processing

The “superheated steam” produced by the Optima Steamer sanitizes and eliminates hazardous food-borne bacteria. With no chemicals and no waste water runoff, dry steam is the most efficient cleaning solution for food and beverage facilities. Most of pathogens are known to be eliminated at 160°F. The Optima Steamer is able to produce constant hot dry steam ranging from 212~240°F at the nozzle tip, ensuring total sanitation of unwanted micro-organisms. The Optima Steamer is equipped with a moisture control valve that allows you to increase moisture level when necessary (e.g. cleaning heavy grease, icing, chocolate residues). Clean and sanitize food processing equipment and machinery more effectively than a pressure washer or heavy duty chemicals.

Greatly reduce facility downtime from cleaning and increase your production efficiency. Steam requires very little to no preparation prior to cleaning or sanitizing. The Optima Steamer is pressurized and heated to 352°F, making it ready to steam for all day use in as little as 6 minutes*. Reach hard-to-reach nooks and crannies, and tackle those harborage areas without generating over-spray or puddles of waste water.

Optima’s dry steam with gentle pressure can safely clean the most sensitive equipment components such as control panels, conveyor belts, HVAC coils and screens, walk-in coolers and freezers. Eliminate multiple steps of preparing, washing, soaping, rinsing, drying and cleaning up waste water. Less downtime means more production and increased efficiency.

* Pre-heating time varies per model. Please see our model comparison chart.

The Optima Steamer uses less than 0.1 gallons of water per minute* and does not generate waste water runoff, making it the ideal machine to operate under EPA standards. In most applications, the use of chemicals is purely optional allowing your processing operations to “go green” and organic.

The machine’s water efficiency, low psi and reduced chemical usage makes your business more eco-friendly and safer for your employees. With minimal residual costs the Optima Steamer also provides a cleaning solution that makes you money over time.

* Water consumption rate varies based on the number of outlets used and use of moisture control valve.
