Introducing the New SE-II from Steamericas:

Dry steam has become increasingly popular among wineries, breweries and the food and beverage processing industries in general as an alternative or additional sanitizing method to combination of a large amount of water and chemicals (including Ozone).

 

 

 

The new Optima Steamerâ„¢ SE-II is the next step in dry steam technology, taking the best facets of previous Optima Steamer models such as the patented boiler technology which provides industry leading pressure and heat while adding an improved LCD display allows for quick remote troubleshooting with minimal training and automatic maintenance reminders. Other improvements  include a large on-board water tank, easy access to all parts including those inside the control box and larger wheels for easier maneuvering.

 

While Optima Steamer customers always have had an option to contact authorized local dealers for any service and maintenance needs, being able to self-diagnose and fix simple issues help wineries save time and costs in the long-term.

The SE-II can be used with a wide variety of attachments allowing cleaning and sanitization of barrels, bottling machinery, tanks, floors, harvest equipment, kitchen prep and hood surfaces and more for both CIP and COP applications. The SE-II is rated as both a commercial and industrial steamer with models available with outputs rated at 18K, 27K and 42K.

 

 

 

Steam is known to penetrate barrel pores ¼~½” deeper beyond the direct contacting surfaces, which is ideal for eradicating brettanomyces, thanks to its gaseous property. Steam is a natural sanitizer, and its sanitizing property comes from heat.

 

The Optima SE-II units are available withASME (S, U and UB Stamps) and NB stamps, which allows businesses to abide by local OSHA  regulations. When used with SteamericasBarrel Tool, which was specially designed for safe and efficient use of steam for barrels, the SE-II is able to provide deep cleaning and barrel swelling in minutes with a fraction of water usage when compared to traditional methods.

 Steam is known to penetrate barrel pores ¼~½” deeper beyond the direct contacting surfaces, which is ideal for eradicating brettanomyces, thanks to its gaseous property. Steam is a natural sanitizer, and its sanitizing property comes from heat. Steam is essentially moist heat in the form of vapor. Heat travels better with moisture. This allows for reaching high temperature in the most difficult areas to sanitize, which is often impossible when using water as an agent to deliver heat or chemicals. Amongst its competitors, the Optima Steamer is able to deliver steam at higher pressure, which equates to higher temperature when it comes to dry steam.
