Hobart’s ENERGY STAR® steamers save you energy and water.
Hobart HPX Series Steamers, also known as “compartment steamers,” are ENERGY STAR® qualified. To earn the ENERGY STAR, an electric steamer must meet a minimum cooking efficiency of 50% while also meeting maximum idle energy rates.
The Hobart HPX3 has an energy efficiency of 70%; the HPX5, 68%. According to ENERGY STAR (www.energystar.gov), each ENERGY STAR qualified electric steamer can save you 6,620 kWh annually, or an average of $450 a year on your utility bills. Since Hobart’s HPX3 and HPX5 steamers have a significantly higher energy efficiency rate than the minimum required, you could enjoy even greater savings.
Hobart’s ENERGY STAR HPX steamers also save you water—a full 90% or more compared to standard models. Overall, Hobart’s HPX ENERGY STAR steamers will give you shorter cooking times, higher production rates and reduced heat loss, due to better insulation and more efficient steam-delivery systems. The HPX3 and HPX5 are the perfect steamers for your sustainable kitchen.
Hobart HPX Series Steamers: Simple and efficient for a more productive kitchen
Hobart HPX Series Counter Connectionless Steamers combine simple controls and efficient steam generation in a compact space. A three-position control switch and 60-minute timer make operation easy and efficient. And while your kitchen is running smoothly, the HPX runs even smoother. The steam-generating system requires no water or drain connections. Solid sheathed tubular elements (9 kW and 15 kW) embedded in one-inch-thick cast aluminum are sealed to the pan bottom with a thermal transfer compound providing efficient and even heat distribution.
