Overview

B&S Black YCJSF-1HE Waterless Heat Exchange Commercial Gas Steamer

The YCJSF-1HE from B&S Black is a high-output commercial gas steamer purpose-built for the rigours of restaurant, café, hotel and catering kitchens. Manufactured in Italy from AISI 304 grade stainless steel with a vitreous enamel finish, this 600mm wide freestanding model employs waterless heat-exchange steaming technology that consumes up to 15% less gas than conventional steamers while delivering a stronger, more consistent steam supply.

An automatic refill system keeps the 38.5-litre tank continuously topped up without any staff involvement, cutting water consumption by as much as 100 litres per hour compared to traditional yum cha steamers. Starting from a room temperature of 20°C, the water reaches boiling point in fewer than 20 minutes, and a built-in overheat protection device ensures safe, uninterrupted operation throughout even the busiest service periods.

Key Benefits

• Waterless heat-exchange technology consumes up to 15% less gas than conventional steamers, keeping operating costs down during high-volume service.
• Auto refill system continuously maintains water levels without chef intervention, removing the risk of taps being left on and reducing water consumption by up to 100 litres per hour.
• Water comes to the boil in under 20 minutes when starting from a 20°C ambient temperature, minimising warm-up delays ahead of service.
• Superior steam output compared to conventional yum cha steamers delivers faster, more consistent cooking results across the full menu.
• Overheat safety device guards against tank dry-boil, protecting the unit and reducing the likelihood of costly unplanned downtime.
• Piezo ignition paired with a flame failure device allows quick, safe lighting and automatically cuts the gas supply should the flame go out.
• AISI 304 stainless steel throughout the interior and exterior, a heavy-duty frame and a 2mm thick tank combine to provide lasting durability and easy cleaning.
• Compact 600mm freestanding footprint on an integrated stand makes installation practical in kitchens where bench space is at a premium.
• Suitable for both natural gas and LPG connections, allowing flexible installation across a wide variety of commercial kitchen configurations.
