Low Pressure Steam Washdown Station
Model WD2010L – Low Pressure Steam Washdown Station
10–60 PSIG Steam Pressure | 30–80 psig Water Pressure | 3–4.5 GPM
Model WD2010L is a low pressure steam washdown station. It is ideal for those plants where hot water clean up is needed, but where only low pressure steam is available. It operates off steam pressure as low as 10 psig, such as waste steam. 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. 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.

Safety First — NO WATER, NO STEAM
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.
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.
How Steam Washdown Works
Cold Water Enters
Cold water supply connects to the station inlet. A flow-sensing valve monitors water pressure continuously.
Steam Mixes In
Steam from your boiler or supply line is injected through a proportional mixing valve. The ratio is controlled by the operator's temperature dial.
Temperature Regulated
An integrated dial thermometer displays the output temperature. The operator adjusts the mixing valve to reach the desired washdown temperature (up to 190°F).
Fail-Safe Activates
If cold water flow is interrupted for any reason, the steam supply automatically shuts off — preventing scalding and protecting equipment.
Hot Water Delivered
Controlled hot water flows to the hose connection at the set temperature, ready for washdown, sanitizing, or cleaning.
