Elmasteam Steam Jet Cleaners

Elmasteam Steam Jet Cleaners

Quickly remove deposits such as oil, lubricants, polishing pastes, waxes, chips and filings from cast, machined and other fabricated parts.

Reliable, fast, thorough removal of tenacious contaminants from complex medical, dental and surgical instruments before disinfecting or sterilizing.

Compact Elmasteam benchtop steam jet cleaners provide a fast, safe way to contribute to quality control  by removing dirt, grease, oil and other contaminants from products before further processing and assembly.  Compact benchtop steam jet cleaners are ideal because they allow operators to direct the steam precisely where needed.

Steam jet cleaners are proven effective in Central Sterile Supply Departments (CSSD) and similar facilities for cleaning difficult to access surfaces on complex medical and surgical instruments.  The Elmasteam 8 MED flexible hose and nozzle allows technicians direct steam to Leur-Lock equipped hollow body and cannulated instruments or to precisely where it is aimed when cleaning other instruments.

  • Fumeless operation for operator comfort
  • Precise cleaning – direct the steam jet exactly where needed

Elma Steam FlexElmasteam 45 Steam Jet Cleaner

  • 4.5 bar (65 psi) steam pressure
  • 135⁰C (275⁰F) nozzle temperature
  • 3 liter (~3 quart) tank capacity supports long cleaning cycles
  • Constant steam availability thanks to high heating power
  • Operating status display – see at a glance key operating indicators
  • Select foot-activated fixed nozzle or flexible 3-foot hand piece (HP) nozzle

High temperatures and pressures produced by the compact Elmasteam 45 steam jet cleaner remove contaminants from tight spaces such as threaded blind holes, precision machined and cut gears faster and more thoroughly than hand cleaning, leaving surfaces residue free and spotless after drying.

Where higher levels of cleanliness are required a steam jet cleaner can be used to prepare parts for an ultrasonic cleaning cycle.  Pre-cleaning parts with steam has the added benefit of reducing contaminant build-up in ultrasonic cleaning solutions.

The hand piece trigger release controls the amount of steam released and has a lock lever to avoid accidental release of steam.  An actuation clamp keeps the valve in the open position to drain the boiler pressure prior to refilling, or when the unit is turned off at the end of a cleaning operation.

The Elmasteam 8MED is particularly suitable for cleaning:

  • Instrument joints and hinges
  • Fluted surfaces such as on forceps
  • Melted fabric material on electro-surgical instruments
  • Drills and cutters to remove residual tissue and bone meal
