The power of pure steam
The steam jet cleaning works with saturated water vapor – hot steam with maximum moisture, generated at high pressure (up to 8 bar). It removes dirt such as oils, fats, or polishing pastes even in the finest gaps and cavities – completely without chemical additives.
Depending on the needs, one can switch between wet steam (with more moisture for powerful cleaning and rinsing effect) and dry steam (with less moisture for sensitive surfaces). The process is versatile – from quick pre-cleaning to precise final cleaning – and is suitable for a variety of materials and components.
Sustainable & safe
- Steam jet cleaning works chemical-free & sustainable: cleaning only with pure water - no chemicals, no residues, no disposal problems.
- Constant & reliable: always consistently clean cleaning medium, no loss of quality.
Cleaning performance
- Gentle & effective: The combination of steam pressure (kinetic energy) and temperature (thermal energy) also removes stubborn dirt.
- Versatile materials: Suitable for stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous and precious metals, plastics, and more.
- Complex geometries: Cleans hard-to-reach areas such as hollow bodies, joints, and fine structures.
Comfort & Operation
- Ready for use immediately: Once heated, the steam is available at up to 160 °C at any time - without additional preparation time.
- With a water connection, the device automatically takes care of the filling.
Flexibility in deployment
- Multifunctional: For pre-, intermediate, and final cleaning as well as special applications (e.g., grease-free contact surfaces, measurement controls).
Optional features & accessories:
- Dry steam (standard) or wet steam
- Manual or automatic water filling (canister / fixed water)
- Compressed air for drying or removing chips
- Handpieces in various lengths, fixed nozzles, steam pans
- Luer-Lock adapter & medical set
„Technology leadership means for us to research, understand, and develop solutions that our customers in over 80 countries can rely on – for stable processes and the highest purity.”
David Holly, Leading Ultrasonics Scientist and Principal Engineer
Ultrasound, steam or both?
Every cleaning method has its strengths: While ultrasound dissolves cleaning fluids through cavitation, steam excels with its chemical-free, precise application. Elma recommends a combined approach to optimally unite cleaning efficiency and material preservation. Consultation and equipment integration available upon request.
