Stainless Steel Steam & Cold Water Hose Station

..

Each time SuperKlean Distributors get a design win with our industry-leading Bronze Steam & Cold Water Mixer hose station product line we think ‘how sweet it is!’ Recently we visited a truly sweet factory with one of our Los Angeles-based distributors. This long-time distributor recently began selling SuperKlean steam hose stations to See’s Candy factory and headquarters, located in the heart of Los Angeles.

Supplying Industrial Washdown Solutions to See’s Candy

See’s Candy is celebrating is 100 year anniversary. From their humble beginnings in 1921 when Mary See first started selling her homemade candy, See’s has become one of America’s most prized candy-makers. The large LA-based See’s Candy factory now uses multiple SuperKlean Steam hose stations throughout their operation, along with SuperKlean industrial water guns and hose swivel fitting adapters.

Chocolate and confectionary companies across the world trust in SuperKlean steam & cold water mixing hose stations and related hot water hose products. Many have used SuperKlean for years and make Superklean hose stations their only hot water washdown solution.

The next time you pass a See’s Candy store, please know that SuperKlean is a tiny, but reliable part of their story. By the way, years before SuperKlean’s distributor started selling our hot water hose stations to See’s, SuperKlean had been mailing See’s Candy as a grateful Christmas gift to some of our most loyal distributors and customers around the world. It is only fitting that after years of SuperKlean being a See’s Candy customer, they became a SuperKlean customer. The only thing we can say in return is, thank you to our distributor, thank you See’s, and … “Yum!”

Steam water mixing valves must be easy to clean and safe to operate. SuperKlean’s stainless steel steam mixers are the industry’s most trusted steam water mixing valves because they do not leak dangerous steam that can injure employees, creating massive safety issues. These DURAMIX 8000 units are often used with SuperKlean’s famous DH commercial hose nozzle family, providing the best steam mixer/ industrial water gun combination available!

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. 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. Add SuperKlean steam traps and strainers to your steam and cold water lines to effectively remove all debris for optimal performance.

This world famous flavoring and fragrance leader struggled with steam mixing stations for decades, controlling temperature of water and most recently fighting steam leaking into hoses through competitors mixing stations. The Plant Safety Manager provided a tour to demonstrate the problem. He said “stand back,” picked up a hose and started spraying, with dangerous steam coming out of the nozzle. After 5 seconds or so the steam sputtered with hot water, then finally produced a steady stream of hot water. This company has now replaced over 40 of the competitors steam mixers with SuperKlean DuraMix 8000 units.
