The Finest Washers...
With Center-Fed Manifolds
STERO’S Single-Tank SCT-44 Series Rack Conveyors
are offered with either High Temperature or Chemical
Sanitizing final rinse. Wash manifolds are positioned in
the center of the tank.
SCT-44: Sanitizes with 180° final rinse water which
both sterilizes the ware and speeds the drying process.
SCT-44-CSA: Eliminates the need for a booster heater
by chemically sanitizing with a low-temperature final
rinse.
SCT-44-10: 10" longer than the SCT-44, resulting in
greater separation between the wash manifold and the
final rinse. Where space permits, this is advantageous
for the operator as it gives a thorough rinse and
minimizes the possibility of cross-contamination in the
wash water/final rinse inter-mix.
Power Wash: STERO’s unique stainless steel manifolds
are center-fed, fitted with stricture free jets with directional
vanes and can be easily removed without tools. Center-fed
manifolds distribute an even flow of wash water over the
entire perimeter of the rack, ensuring consistent results.
A 2 HP, 1750 rpm motor and pump distribute 300 GPM of
detergent water. Power wash has extended stainless steel
shafts with packless ceramic seals. The pump has easily
removable inspection plates—front and end—and is selfdraining. Stainless steel perforated strainer pans cover the
tanks.
Automatic Fill: Fills the machine at the push of a button and
keeps it full during operation. In the event of low water in the
tank, the system will automatically re-fill to the proper level.
Automatic Start: Rack activated switch starts conveyor and
pumps eliminating the need for a manual start.
Automatic Shut Down: Shuts down machine operation during
idle periods.
Stainless Steel Front Enclosure Panel: Protects motors and
controls from moisture.

STANDARD FEATURES Continued
Kit 55: STERO mounts a ¾" pressure reducing valve, shockarrestor and flow pressure gauge in the final rinse line prior to the
rinse solenoid valve.
The shock-arrestor prevents line hammer and will double the life of
the valve. The PRV will allow adjustment of the final rinse pressure
and the gauge will give visual proof when it is correct.
Common Drain: STERO connects overflow and drain valves so that
one drain rough-in will service the entire machine.
Motors: 2 HP, 1750 rpm, 300 GPM, heavy duty with sealed
bearings and overload protection.
Final Rinse: Stainless rinse arms mounted above and below are
fitted with directional fanjets that create a full coverage spray
pattern for maximum rinsing and sanitation. The rack activates
STERO’s final rinse switch and hot water solenoid valve with
stainless steel seat. A vacuum breaker mounted downstream from
the solenoid and 6" above the upper rinse complete STERO’s rinse
system. The CSA sanitizes with chlorine which is dispensed by
STERO’s peristaltic pump. The CSA eliminates the need for a 180°
final rinse booster.
Thermometers: One each for the wash and final rinse.
Conveyor: A center-drive, stainless steel pawl bar with stainless
steel pawls conveys the racks through the spray pattern and out
onto the clean dish table. The conveyor is powered by an integral
¼ HP motor and speed reducing drive that has a built-in release
to prevent damage to racks or machine in the event of a rack jam.
The racks ride on 12 gauge stainless steel tracks.
Standard Electrical Features: All motors on STERO conveyor
machines are factory wired in waterproof conduit and fittings to a
common connection point. The motors are protected by thermaloverloads with manual reset buttons. The magnetic motor starters,
start-stop switches, and electric tank heating element contactors
(when specified) are mounted in a stainless steel control box.
Standard Electrical Specifications Available: 208/240-60-1,
208/240-60-3, 460/480-60-3.
Door Safety Switch: Prevents the machine from operating if the
door is open. The machine will automatically shut-off if the door is
opened while the warewasher is running.
Bell-Type Stainless Steel Skimmer:
With hinged cover. Acts as
overflow and facilitates removal of fats and oils from the wash tank.
Drain Valves: STERO designed poppet-type drain valve, stainless
steel seats and casting assures leak proof and trouble free life.
Externally controlled with spring-loaded shafts to prevent damage...
The finest in the industry.
REQUIRED TANK HEATING
NSF requires that water in all power wash tanks be maintained
at specific temperatures. STERO offers four types of heating
equipment to meet this standard. Please specify which option
best suits your job conditions.
The Tank Heating options are:
Electric: Two 5 kW stainless steel elements (10 kW total)
are mounted in the bottom of the tank. The units are
thermostatically controlled and have STERO’s low water
protection system. The elements, thermostat, LWP, and
contactor are all inter-wired to the control panel.
STERO has developed another first for the industry. A gas
Gas:
fired, infrared tank heating system that will heat the water to the
correct temperature and maintain it during operations. Burners
are constructed of woven ceramic fiber that are thermostatically
controlled and feature a manual off-on valve. STERO’s positive
low water protection system safeguards the unit in the event of
a low water condition.
Steam Injectors:
Two stainless steel injectors with silencers are
mounted in the tank. A thermostat controls a solenoid valve,
and maintains the correct temperature.
Steam Coils: STERO designed and built stainless steel steam
coils are mounted in the tank. Steam coils allow the condensed
steam to be returned to the steam generator, a decided
advantage when there is a question of purity of steam. A
thermostat controls a steam solenoid valve and maintains the
correct temperature. A steam trap is mounted on the steam
return line.

Mounted Circuit Breakers: Protection for motors and heating
circuit.
Automatic Dwell Conveyor: Automatic dwell, as an optional
addition, allows the operator to stop the rack over the wash
manifold for longer washing action.
Sideloader: RAC-27 allows loading of the racks at a right angle
to the conveyor, permitting dedicated clean and soiled sides of
the room, increased length RAC-32 will accept sheet pans.
Table Limit Switch: Mounted on a clean dish table. The switch
shuts off the conveyor when engaged by a rack. This allows
single person operation of machine until racks fill unload table.
