how to choose a steam-cleaner for jewellery ,watch manufacturing or in the medical sector.

when it is recommended to use a steam-cleaner in jewellery manufacturing or watch manufacturing or watch repair shops?

• steam cleaners are environmental friendly as they just create hot steam by normal water!
• steam cleaners are good for removing difficult contamination by human like sweat as a pre-cleaning step.
• somehow steam cleaners are also used a final cleaning step to remove fine contamination like finger prints, dust or chemicals.
• unfortunately steam cleaners may also have a bad side effect as followed
• the steam cleaner may not be used with soft stones ( like corals, opal, ect.)
• it also important to know how the stone setting of your jewellery is done, as hot steam may weaken the glue and stones even fall off.
• there are a few different steam cleaners on the market, different from the function as well in the price range.
• some steam cleaners are big in size which is good, unfortunately under the CE-Norm of the Community European as bigger then tanks as stronger the safety regulations get. therefore the elma steam cleaners currently are only build in the size if 3,0 Liter and 5,0 Liter volume.
• some of this steam cleaners often have the Safety pressure relief valve outside, which obviously have some bad side effects as well, the user may be harmed if the safety pressure relief valve would trigger in the event of overheating and hot steam could escape and harm anyone near by.
• in this case our product the elma steam cleaner are build to protect the human person,  if the unit it self get damaged as long the operator is safe it doesn't matter.
• the Elma steam cleaners are equipped with several safety feature like:
• safety valve for refilling opens only when no pressure is present.
• safety pressure relief valve
• safety temperature limiter

what are the advantage of the elma steam cleaner:

1. the tank is made by thick-walled stainless steel
2. high pressure of 7,5-8,0 bar pressure
3. fixed nozzle or flexible hand piece
4. air pressure supply as option
5. regulator wet or dry steam as option
6. automatic refilling by internal water pump

all this advantages are great for dialy use, my personl favorit is the automatic refilling by internal pump as this brings additional safety as it is not necessary to reflease remaining pressure and not time is waste for reheating, with the internal pump you can use the steam cleaner all day long to keep your production running and your operators are safe.
