To turn tables faster, you need to cook faster. And no steamers in the world help kitchens cook faster
than PowerSteam steamers from Vulcan.
The hottest, fastest steamers in the business.
Conventional steamers cook at 212˚F. But PowerSteam is far from conventional. Thanks to a patent-
pending process, PowerSteam steam is superheated to 235˚F. And it maintains this intensity thanks
to an ingenious staged filling process in which water is always slowly added to the boiler. Since the
boil is never killed, it generates a continuous supply of superheated steam that lets cooks and chefs
shuttle orders in and out without shutting down or resetting.
Field-tested tough.
Every Vulcan product is rigorously tested to make sure it can handle the demands of every kitchen.
PowerSteam steamers are no exception. Instead of relying on equations and computer models, our
engineers subject our steamers to a simulated seven years of real-world use and abuse. They run
them 24 hours a day. They slam and bang their doors. They treat them any way but kindly. Not only
are our steamers the fastest and the hottest, they’re the toughest, too.
One powerful steamer. Three powerful options.
PowerSteam steamers are available in three models:
So whether a kitchen’s powered by gas or electricity, and whether it’s big or small, there’s a
PowerSteam steamer to get the job done.

At 235°, it's hotter steam for faster steaming.

PowerSteam combines heat and speed to produce a more powerful cooking steam. The steam gets
its extra “power” through a unique two-part process: superheating and staged filling.
Superheated steam increases cooking energy by 10%.
Steam at sea level is hot. But superheated steam is hotter. Before steam reaches the cooking
compartment, it’s reheated with either flue gas or a secondary electric heater. Here the steam
temperature rises from its normal sea level temperature of 212°F to its PowerSteam temperature of
235°F. By raising the steam temperature, the cooking energy is increased by at least 10%. Vulcan is
the first company to use superheated steam for steam cooking. The process is patent pending.
Staged filling keeps the boil boiling.
Staged filling is the process of slowly applying replenishment water to the boiler/generator after it
has initially filled. In Vulcan’s C24GA6 PowerSteam model, for example, it takes three minutes to
fill its large-capacity (12-gallon) generator. Once
the generator is filled, “slow fill valve” meters add
a small amount of replenishment water during
cooking. The benefit of the slow fill valve is that
the boil is not “killed.” During high-volume steam
cooking, PowerSteam delivers a continuous supply
of high-quality steam to the cooking chambers.

1. Door and door latch mechanisms
are heavy-duty. Exterior and cooking
compartments are stainless steel.
Tested to ensure it can handle hard
use and the demands of your kitchen.
2. 60-minute timer cycle (50 cycle x 1.2) with
constant steam setting gives you the option
of controlled cook time or continuous
cooking so you can move food in and out
quickly without stopping to set a time or turn
steam on or off.
3. Lighted power switch with READY and
COOK lights so you’ll know at a glance
when the unit is on and has reached its
cooking temperature.
4. Solid silicone gasket with a gasket guard to
prevent pan damage.
5. Exterior de-liming port helps limit lime
scale build up.
6. Compartment drain is oversized so it’s
easy to clean and helps avoid clogs.
7. The new and improved generator in the
Electric Floor-Standing and Electric Counter
steamers also has the following features:
• Span Voltage Heater 208-240V 50 or
60Hz. or 1 or 3 phaze
• Generator bottom sloped 5˚
• Drain with SmartDrain PowerFlush™ system
• Patent pending
