Recently, we completed an export order for a Mauritius customer, who purchased our PLC-controlled digital display 60-trays double door electric commercial food steamer. This unit is built with 304 stainless steel for both the commercial food steamer body and steaming trays, packed in solid wooden cases for safe sea shipment. The client mainly uses this commercial food steamer to cook chicken dices and chicken wings for his food business. The machine runs on 380V, 50Hz three-phase power. It comes with 60 flat 2.5cm non-perforated trays as standard. Whether you run a restaurant, canteen, central kitchen or food processing workshop, a qualified commercial food steamer can greatly boost batch cooking efficiency, keep food tender and preserve original flavours. In this blog, we will introduct the product in detail.
Our commercial food steamer is a highly versatile commercial cooking device, capable of steaming and cooking rice, steamed buns, corn, baozi, fish, meat and many other food varieties. It locks in moisture and natural flavour without excessive oil, which fits the demand of mass catering and food processing factories perfectly. As our Mauritius customer demonstrated, it performs excellently for poultry products such as chicken cubes and chicken wings. You can adjust steaming time and temperature to meet different recipe standards for various menu items.


We design different door structures and tray capacities to match different kitchen output needs. Single-door models include 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 15-tray versions, suitable for small cafƩs, school canteens and medium-sized restaurants. Double-door options cover 24, 30, 48 and 60 trays, the high-volume model selected by our Mauritius buyer. The three-door type is available in 36 trays for balanced large-batch production. Buyers can select specifications based on daily cooking volume and available kitchen floor space.


Customers can choose between electric heating and gas heating solutions. Electric heating versions support PLC touchscreen control and digital temperature display, delivering accurate temperature adjustment and stable heating performance. It works well for locations with stable three-phase power supply. One key note: gas-fired commercial food steamers cannot be fitted with PLC touch screens or independent electric distribution boxes. Intelligent digital control and timing functions are exclusive to electric heating models.The client from Mauritius opted for the electric-heated version this time.Ā


We supply two types of control panels: knob style and touchscreen PLC style. The touchscreen PLC version carries a higher price tag, paired with optional timing function. Our standard quotation is prepared based on touchscreen models with timing function. If the customer has a tight budget, we can downgrade the configuration to simple knob panels to reduce the total purchasing cost, which offers great pricing flexibility for different market budgets.


Our commercial food steamer adopts heat-resistant polyurethane foam insulation, bringing outstanding thermal insulation, energy-saving performance and environmental protection. Less heat escapes from the commercial food steamer chamber, which stabilises internal steam temperature and cuts down continuous power consumption during long-hour batch cooking. This design helps overseas clients lower recurring electricity costs in daily operation.


The whole commercial food steamer body and steaming trays are manufactured from premium 304 food-grade stainless steel. The surface is smooth, easy to sanitise, sturdy and fully compliant with international food hygiene standards. It is fitted with new high-temperature resistant silicone door seals. The seals form a tight closure to stop steam leakage, maintain consistent internal pressure and avoid heat loss during steaming cycles.


We adopt branded electrical components to reduce power waste and guarantee safe and stable operation. A uniquely designed progressive latch lock is installed on commercial food steamer doors. This lock structure is simple to grip, convenient to open and locks firmly during cooking. Operators can release pressure step by step instead of opening the door suddenly, lowering sudden steam blowout risks.


Two core safety systems are integrated into the machine. First, the automatic float ball water inlet system refills water automatically when the water level drops and stops filling once reaching the set level, effectively preventing dry burning damage to heating tubes. Second, a safety pressure relief valve releases excess internal pressure automatically, protecting the commercial food steamer chamber and all internal parts from overpressure hazards during continuous steaming.


Correct regular cleaning is critical to extend machine service life and maintain stable steaming effect. After each cooking cycle, drain residual water from the water tank. Descaling work must be carried out twice every week, to stop mineral scale accumulating on float ball valves and heating tubes. Scale deposits often cause valve blockage and dangerous dry burning. When obvious limescale forms, prepare 5% citric acid solution and pour it into the water tank. Heat and boil for 15 minutes, soak for one hour, boil again for 15 minutes, drain all contaminated water, then rinse repeatedly with clean water.


Follow strict safety steps during cooking to avoid scald accidents. First, connect water supply and power supply. After the water tank is fully filled, preheat the commercial food steamer until boiling water generates stable steam. Next, switch off the power switch, slowly unlock the door and release internal high-temperature steam pressure before opening the door to load raw food. Lock the door tightly and restore power to continue heating. When food is fully cooked, cut off power or close the steam valve. You may choose to leave food for stewing or take it out immediately according to your recipe requirement. Never stand facing the commercial food steamer door or door gap while opening it. Stand sideways and keep a safe distance, release steam slowly before taking out cooked food. Heat-resistant gloves or food clamps are strongly recommended for operators.


Our series of commercial food steamers have obtained CE certification. The products meet the EU standards on electrical safety, mechanical safety and hygiene requirements. It supports customers to sell and use the equipment in European and many other international markets. We can provide relevant certification documents upon request, to help buyers smoothly complete customs clearance and local compliance checks.


We provide matching spare parts packages according to customer needs to support long-term stable operation of the commercial food steamer. For this Mauritius order, 2 heating elements and 3 packs of descaling agents were provided as free complimentary items. Apart from these free supplies, the customer also purchased additional spare parts separately, including 2 PLC control panels, 4 sensors and 3 heating element assemblies. All machines for overseas shipment are packed in solid wooden cases. The wooden package can effectively protect the equipment from collision, vibration and moisture damage during long sea transportation, ensuring the commercial food steamer arrives at the destination in good condition.
