Benchstar NP-2SL - Electric Super Steamer, 1 Chamber, 4.4kW

The Benchstar NP-2SL is a commercial electric steamer for dumplings, buns, dim sum, seafood and vegetables in Asian restaurants, yum cha kitchens and canteens. A big boiler makes fresh, strong steam that is reheated to +120°C to +130°C, and a manifold system recovers residual heat. It has a 350 x 548 x 177mm chamber, 4 preset menus, keep-warm and delay cooking, plus automatic water refill and drain. It is stackable, runs on 240V at 4.4 kW (20 A), and the NP-4SL is the taller-chamber version.

Good to know before you buy:

• Water and drain: it refills itself with water and empties through an electric drain valve, so it needs water and drain connections made by a licensed plumber.
• Descaling: the descaling function needs a specific detergent, so budget for it in your cleaning routine.
• Access: it weighs 53 kg and is packed at 730 x 740 x 480 mm. It is delivered by tailgate truck to the front of your premises, and standard delivery doesn't include bringing it inside or unpacking.

Common questions:

Can I stack two units?
Yes. FED designed the super steamers to be stackable and modular, so you can build up capacity without using more bench space.

How hot does the steam get?
Steam from the boiler is reheated to +120°C to +130°C, with a maximum temperature of 130°C.

Do you install it?
We supply the equipment only. It must be connected by a licensed electrician (20 A supply) and a licensed plumber (water and drain) in your area.
