COMPETITIVE FEATURES
Vortex100® Connectionless Steamers
GROEN Vortex100 Connectionless Steamers
Groen Vortex100 Connectionless Steamers are the most economical and ecient solution
for bulk cook and hold applications for varying menu demands for small and mediumduty operations that often lack water or drain lines. Vortex100 is versatile enough for bulk
steaming applications in K-12 schools, colleges & universities, healthcare facilities, casual
dining, stadiums and catering.
Vortex100 Competitive Features and Benets:
ENERGY STAR®
Savings and rebates – All Vortex100 units have earned the ENERGY STAR
and are eligible for energy company rebates offered in the U.S.
Floats
Proven history – Vortex100 is the only connectionless steamer to use floats instead of
probes to detect the water level. Floats have demonstrated reliability in Groen’s heavy
duty steamers and are less susceptible to fouling from contaminants in the water.
Largest Water Reservoir of Any Connectionless Steamer
Less Water Consumption and Increased Productivity – The 6-pan steamer consumes
less than 2.5 gallons during a typical steaming session. This means the 4 gallon reservoir is
replenished less frequently than steamers with small reservoirs. There’s a 30% time savings
between refilling a Vortex100 water reservoir during operation than the competition.

Convection Fan Cooking
Product Freshness & Quality – The convection fan maintains even cooking by
circulating steam around the food during the cooking cycle and provides a constant
temperature during the hold cycle.
Atmospheric Steam Operation
Product Integrity – Vortex100’s steam and hold modes preserve the appearance, aroma,
texture, taste and temperature of the product without the need for a vacuum pump.
Simple Controls for Three Modes of Operation
Simpler Operation and Less Training Required – A button selects continuous steaming,
timed steaming or holding operations. A knob selects duration of timed mode.
Automatic Diagnostics
Easy-to-use diagnostics that automatically indicate when the steamer is not operating at
optimal performance.
Various Volt Oerings
Flexibility – Units are available with 208, 240 or 480 voltage. Single phase is
available for 208 or 240, or the unit can be easily converted in the field.
Bright Interior Finish
Ease of Cleaning and Long Lasting – Cooking residue is more easily
removed from the steamer compartment making clean-up less time
consuming for the Operator.
Hands-Free, Push-Up Door Handle Design
Ease of Use – Operators of a Vortex100 unit do not need a free hand to open the
door. An elbow works just fine when holding a heavy pan with both hands! No
other manufacturer has this ease of operation.
