Medium Pressure Steam Washdown Station

Medium Pressure Steam Washdown Stations – Up to 150 PSIG

Model WD2010M (35-150 PSIG Steam Pressure)

• No Water – No Steam
• 30-80 psig Water Pressure
• 3 to 8.5 GPM
• 190°F Maximum Recommended Discharge Temp
• Offered in both Bronze and Stainless Steel
• Safe, low-maintenance design typify these hot water washdown stations.

Model WD2010M is a medium pressure steam washdown station.  It is ideal for locations where steam pressures are between 35 – 150 psig.  Steam and cold water are carefully and thoroughly mixed to provide “instant” hot water on demand. Using the proportional flow water and steam control valves, the operator can adjust the washdown station to deliver the desired hot water temperature as indicated on the dial thermometer located in the mixed water discharge. By depressing the ergonomically designed fail-safe trigger of the hand-held spray nozzle or the optional spray lance, the operator can direct a steady flow of hot water from a fine spray to a solid jet.

Washdown Stations are widely used in dairy, pharmaceutical, food processing, chemical and industrial plants. Wherever efficient, economical and low-maintenance means of hot-water clean-up is needed, Washdown Stations are used.

Features Include:

• Easy to maintain
• No carbonate build-up at steam inlet valve
• No special tool kits needed
• Manually operated flow proportioning control valves
• Internal steam and water check valves to prevent back-flow
• Integral steam-water venturi mixer for consistent mixing
• Discharge liquid temperature indicating dial gauge
• Simple wall mounting design and “mount-compatibility” for easy installation
• Discharge hose with swivel connections on each end
• Fail-safe trigger-actuated spray gun or shut-off lance
• Stainless steel hose rack for convenient hose storage

Dimensional Information

Minimal Maintenance Required

Carbonate build-up at the steam inlet valve, a problem plaguing competitive units, is minimized. A check valve is optimally positioned within the mixing station between the steam inlet valve and the cold water chamber housing the specially designed steam-water venturi mixer. The steam valve seat is isolated from the cold water supply, preventing deposit of carbonates at the steam valve thus reducing the potential for steam inlet valve seizure. No special tool kits are required for the Washdown Station to operate at maximum efficiency and safety.

Safety First

When handling live steam, SAFETY COMES FIRST! To reduce the potential for steam discharge, our Steam/Water Washdown Stations employ a unique valve and diaphragm technology. Steam is automatically blocked from discharging from the mixing station using a specially engineered diaphragm device. The diaphragm uses the steam supply pressure to positively close the steam inlet valve to the mixing chamber. The mixing station does not rely on potentially unreliable components such as temperature sensors or electrical devices to keep the steam valve closed. The diaphragm device will permit the steam inlet valve to open only after sufficient cold water flow is established by squeezing the spray nozzle or lance. If at any time the cold water is restricted, the steam is automatically shut off. NO WATER-NO STEAM!

Duramix Model 8000GM  (30-150 PSIG Steam Pressure)

• No Water = No Steam
• Offered in both Bronze and Stainless Steel
• Two Outlets.  Primary & Secondary Outlet.

The Duramix Model 8000GM is the most innovative steam and cold water mixing unit specifically designed to provide safe and efficient means of clean up by producing hot water instantly and economically with little or no maintenance. The DURAMIX 8000 unit operates under a wide range of steam and water pressures without changing internal components. In fact, it is one of the only steam and cold water mixing units in the industry with the ability to operate with as little as 30 PSI of water pressure. Its strategic dual output design, one at the bottom for a hose and nozzle and one at the top for hard pipe installation, provides the user with the ability to supply two individual terminals with their own hot water supply. For maximum efficiency, the second outlet can be used to feed a secondary source where hot water is needed after the primary outlet has been shut off. This feature drastically reduces energy producing costs, which is good for the bottom line, as the unit is capable of producing hot water for wash down as well as providing a secondary source of hot water for other uses 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Our unique internal design does not allow live steam to penetrate. If water pressure fails, the Duramix 8000 will automatically close the steam poppet and not allow live steam to pass through our mixing unit, thus making this unit the safest in the market.
