GVC-36000 Dry Steam Cleaner

Dry steam cleaning

The GVC-36000 is the successor to the GVC-18000 and has 4 boilers instead of 2. The device can therefore produce more steam, which can be necessary in some cases. The device can be used in various industries, but is usually used in the food industry. Because the cleaner can produce dry steam, it is also possible to use this steamer for water-sensitive equipment. Furthermore, dry steam has the property that it is very effective against different types of deposits, bacteria, allergens, and more.

What is dry steam?

Dry steam is regular steam that has been super heated and delivers all the cleaning and sanitation power of steam but with much less moisture (adjustable 5%-15% moisture volume). Dry steam can be safely used in dry-clean environments or areas where wet cleaning is not recommended. Due to the high temperature of 145 degrees Celsius, it obliterates oils, dirt, allergens (like nuts and sesame seeds), and bacteria on contact. Dry steam has a number of major advantages compared to traditional cleaning techniques. Below is a summary of the main benefits:

• Dry steam has a very low water consumption at the lowest setting (5% moisture volume) of approx. 26,5 liters per hour (GVC-18000) and 53 liters per hour for the GVC-36000. This makes it possible to also clean water-sensitive equipment. In addition, very little residue is left behind.
• Dry steam has a very effective cleaning effect and kills up to 99% of bacteria on contact. No (harmful) chemicals are required.
• Dry steam is ideal to use for compact spaces and hard-to-reach deposits in cracks and crevices.

GVC-36000 vs. GVC-18000

The GVC-36000 dry steam cleaner is more powerful than the GVC-18000. This is because it contains 4 boilers instead of 2. The GVC-18000 will be more than sufficient for most applications. However, it may sometimes be that more power is needed to remove a specific type of deposit. Or a (very) wide conveyor belt needs to be cleaned with a Goodway conveyor belt cleaning system. To provide sufficient steam, a GVC-36000 steamer can be chosen.

Applications

Goodway dry steam cleaners can be widely used in various industries. However, these are usually used in the food industry where water and chemicals must be saved as much as possible during cleaning shifts. Some examples of applications for dry steam cleaning:

• Production system surface cleaning includes belts, packaging machinery, sorting systems, belt mechanisms, final part cleaning, and many other surfaces.
• Removal of gross soils, oil, and for allergen control.
• Also designed for use with Goodway conveyor belt cleaning systems for flat and module belting.
