Commercial rice steaming cabinet

Core Features of Commercial Rice Steamers

1. Large-capacity design, meeting bulk demand

Loading specifications: Common capacities include 6, 8, 12, and 24 trays (compatible with standard steaming tray dimensions of 400mm × 600mm). Some larger models can be expanded to accommodate 36 trays or more. A single cabinet can steam rice servings for 20 to 200 people at a time (based on approximately 5–8 servings per tray), or batch‑steam buns, steamed buns, dishes, and other items.

Layered Design: Featuring adjustable shelves, it allows you to steam different ingredients simultaneously—such as vegetables on the upper rack and meat on the lower rack—without cross‑contamination of flavors, maximizing space efficiency.

2. Highly efficient and energy-saving, with fast steaming speed.

Heating methods: The mainstream options are electric heating (with power ratings of 3–30 kW, available in three-phase 380 V and single-phase 220 V) and gas heating (natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas, with a heat load of 15–60 MJ/h). Some high-end models support dual‑energy switching between electricity and gas, making them compatible with various kitchen energy sources.

Steam Efficiency: Featuring a sealed inner‑tank design paired with a high‑efficiency heater/burner, it generates abundant high‑temperature steam (up to 98–105°C) in just 3–5 minutes. Steaming 10 kg of rice takes only 25–40 minutes, saving more than 50% of the time compared to conventional steamers. Some models also offer a “Quick Steam” mode, ideal for expedited food service during peak periods.

Energy-saving design: The inner tank is made of 304 stainless steel (with excellent heat retention), and some models are equipped with a polyurethane insulation layer and a waste-heat recovery system, achieving a thermal efficiency of over 85% (for gas‑fired models) or over 90% (for electric models)—30%–40% more energy‑efficient than traditional open‑flame steaming.

3. Intelligent temperature control, easy operation

Control System: Supports mechanical knob temperature control, digital display temperature control, and touch‑type smart control. Some high‑end models feature PLC programmable control, allowing users to preset steaming time (0–99 minutes) and temperature (50–110°C). Upon completion, the unit automatically shuts off power and gas supply and triggers an alarm, eliminating the need for constant supervision.
