Therma-Kleen Ultra 250E Electric Steam Cleaner 250 PSI, 275°F, 3-Phase
The Therma-Kleen Ultra 250E is a lightweight, compact, and fully portable electric steam cleaner built for spaces where traditional heating fuels aren't practical or permitted.
Running on a 220 or 480 volt, 3-phase power supply, this unit connects easily to a standard garden hose for hot or cold water input, making setup fast and straightforward.
Designed with both safety and simplicity in mind, the Ultra 250E requires only a few basic steps to get started: attach a garden hose to the inlet, connect the pressure hose and wand to the outlet, and plug into a power source.
Within minutes, the unit is ready to kill bacteria, clean, disinfect, deodorize, and sanitize. Since it produces no fumes during operation, it meets USDA guidelines for use in food-safe and enclosed environments.
The 250E a strong fit for enclosed food processing facilities, pharmaceutical clean rooms, hospital sterile processing areas, and kosher-certified kitchens — anywhere open flame or fumes aren't permitted but 3-phase power is available.
Key Features
-
Electric Heat Operation: Uses electric heat instead of propane, eliminating combustion fumes for use in fully enclosed indoor environments.
-
High-Pressure Output: Delivers 250 PSI (17 bar), matching the propane Ultra 250 for penetrating grease and scale on equipment surfaces.
-
Effective Sanitizing Temperature: Reaches 255–275°F, well above the 212°F threshold required for thermal sanitization.
-
Powerful Heating Element: 21kW electric element (72,000 BTU/hr) heats quickly from a cold start with output comparable to a propane burner.
-
USDA Allowable: Generates no fumes, making it suitable for food processing areas, clean rooms, and other occupied facilities.
-
Adjustable Flow Rate: Ranges from 0.5–1.5 GPM, allowing for gentler settings on delicate surfaces.
-
Flexible Water Input: Connects to a standard garden hose and accepts hot or cold water up to 140°F to reduce heating time.
-
Extended Hose Reach: Includes a 50 ft high-pressure steam hose, longer than the propane model's standard 25 ft.
-
3-Phase Electrical Power: Runs on 208/220/480VAC, 3-phase power (52/28 amps), ideal for facilities with 3-phase service but no outdoor access.
-
Versatile Facility Use: Well suited for pharmaceutical clean rooms, hospital sterile processing areas, kosher-certified kitchens, and other environments where open flame or fumes aren't permitted.
