BOILERLESS TECHNOLOGY
Because boiler-based steamers require frequent maintenance that is difficult to perform and is often overlooked, conventional
steaming equipment presents a variety of potential problems for foodservice operators. Boilers must be regularly delimed and
descaled, are expensive to replace and some boiler-based models consume as much as 90 gallons of water per hour. Stellar
developed boilerless steaming equipment to eliminate all boiler-maintenance issues, reduce water use by as much as 90% and
provide waterfill and pre-heated incoming water features. These combine with a patented cavity design gives steamers with
Stellar's boilerless technology unsurpassed cooking speed.
STELLAR DESIGN ADVANTAGES
From the beginning, Stellar has designed steamers to provide greater functionality, superior energy efficiency, quicker cook times
and lower maintenance costs. All these benefits result from Stellar steamers' innovative design, particularly its patented cooking
compartment, which is constructed of cast aluminum to heat up faster and hold heat longer than conventional stainless models.
Because Stellar steamers' cooking cavity uses very little energy to get hot and stay hot, operators use less electricity or gas and can
prepare foods more quickly than with any other steamer on the market.
LOWER LIFE-CYCLE COSTS
Most Stellar Steam models are Energy Star rated, meaning that the U.S Environmental Protection Agency has certified that they
are the most energy efficient models in their category – at least 15% more efficient than non-Energy Star units. With energy costs
high and likely to go higher, this translate into tangible savings for operators, year after year. Combined with the fact that Stellar
products use just 10% as much water as competing models, dramatically cutting water-related costs, the end-result is the most
cost-effective steamers available over their useful life cycle. Stellar's patented steaming technology produces more cooking energy
in less time, resulting in steamers that recover faster than competitive products and will cost operators less to clean and maintain.
Advantages of Stellar Boilerless Technology at a Glance
• No boiler to delime
• No boiler replacement costs.
• Lower water and energy consumption than boiler steamers
• Fewer service and maintenance calls
I
n 1997, Mike Colburn and Mary Esther Treat founded
ColburnTreat LLC, an entrepreneurial equipment
design company that originated the Stellar Steam
brand. The first Stellar prototypes were built and tested
in 1998. In 1999, the first Stellar steamer, Capella, was
showcased at NAFEM and the company started building
its current network of independent reps.
B
y 2001, having earned two patents for steam
condensate control, Stellar moved ahead of its
competition and took the lead in steam-cooking
technology. Even today, no other manufacturer's steamer
can heat a cooking chamber above its waterline. Altair, the
first automatic waterfill boilerless steamer in the industry,
was also introduced in '01 and the Stellar line of steamers
started to grow, as the Sirius model followed in 2002. The
second generation of Altair and Sirius models was
introduced two years later, adding the ability to pre-heat
incoming water to the list of innovative, unique functions
Stellar steamers already offer.
S
tellar's market-leading technology has created
steamers that use far less water – just 10% as
much – compared with traditional models and
recover heat and cook faster. These capabilities reduce
water and energy use and lower operating costs for
restaurants and foodservices. Their innovative qualities make
Stellar products a perfect fit with AFE's energy-efficient,
low-life-cycle-cost equipment lineup.

n 2005, Stellar Steam joined Aga Foodservice
Equipment, a division of Aga Foodservice Group, a
global foodservice equipment leader. Other AFE

Fryers, Eloma and Northland Refrigeration.
AN INNOVATIVE PRODUCT LINE EVOLVES
No Other Line Of Steaming Equipment
Combines Patented Technology And Innovative
Design To Cook Foods As Quickly As
Boiler-Based Steamers With None Of The
Boiler Maintenance These Models Require.
Stellar Steam offers a wide range of gas and electric steamers designed to provide the most appropriate capacities and
outputs for different kitchens and budgets. Stellar steamers' compact boilerless designs give them the flexibility to fit
easily into almost any kitchen's equipment layout.
Capella was the first steamer to incorporate Stellar's patented technology to
increase steam cooking energy and efficiency. It is designed to prepare large
quantities of steamed food at foodservices and restaurants fast, efficiently and
consistently Capella's unique design means:
• Models require no water or drain hook-ups
• No ventilation is required in most kitchen areas
• Models will out-produce competitive steamers while
using less water and energy
• There is no boiler to delime and no water-immersed heating
elements to erode
Other key Capella features include:
• Electric models are available in single- or double-stack
• Capacities range from 4 to 12 pans
• Boilerless design means no deliming or descaling is required
• Front drain location for ease of use
• Model line is Energy Star certified, meaning maximum energy
savings for operators
In this second generation of Altair models, steam is vented through the drain,
creating additional circulation. Stellar's Altair II models are state-of-the-art in
steamer technology, offering such highly advanced features as:
• A dual-direction convection fan that increases steam speed, providing
improved steam distribution and shortening recovery times
• A cooking compartment that acts as a heat sink, extending heat retention
and providing quick recovery and reduced energy consumption
• A design that pre-heats incoming water to ensure faster heat recovery,
allowing foodservice operations to produce meals faster.
• A clean reservoir cover that keeps water free of food particulates
Other key Altair II features include:
• Electric models are available in single- or double-stack
• Capacities range from 4 to 12 pans
• Boilerless design means no deliming or descaling is required
• Rear drain allows for connection flexibility
• Incoming water is pre-heated for faster recovery to cooking temperatures
• Automatic waterfill eliminates manual water handling
Similar to Altair II, but offered in a line of gas models, the second generation
of Sirius steamers features the same innovative, high-output, energy-saving
features and design. Specific Sirius II advantages include:
• A dual-direction convection fan that increases steam speed, providing
improved steam distribution and shortening recovery times
• A cooking compartment that acts as a heat sink, extending heat retention
and providing quick recovery and reduced energy consumption
• A design that pre-heats incoming water to ensure faster heat recovery
allowing foodservice operations to produce meals more quickly.
• A clean reservoir cover that keeps water free of food particulates
