Product Description

Overview

The Southbend CE-324S electric steam generator is a purpose-built, commercial-grade steam source that accelerates your restaurant opening and sustains peak production long after launch. Designed for new restaurant kitchen buildouts and foodservice applications, this 36" cabinet-style, freestanding steam generator delivers reliable steam at 9–11 psi using 24 kW of electric power. It’s NSF certified and cCSAus listed, giving you the compliance and peace of mind needed for health inspections and safe, consistent operation.

Key Features

  • 36" cabinet base with reinforced countertop — durable stainless steel construction stands up to daily commercial use and supports connected equipment.
  • 24 kW electric power producing steady steam at 9–11 psi — ideal for proofers, holding cabinets, combination ovens, and specialty steamers.
  • CSD-1 controls for familiar, reliable operation and easy integration into existing kitchen workflows.
  • Automatic blowdown and water level control — reduces manual maintenance, extends component life, and keeps your team focused on service.
  • Split water line and steam take-off kit — simplifies plumbing layout and lets you route steam where you need it in the kitchen.
  • Safety features: pressure gauge, water gauge glass, pressure control with secondary safety pressure control, and safety relief valve for compliant, worry-free operation.
  • Freestanding design with adjustable 6" stainless legs — quick to position and level during kitchen buildout or retrofit installations.
  • Two-door cabinet for onboard storage and service access, streamlining routine checks and reducing service time.

Built for Commercial Success

The CE-324S is engineered for durability and long-term reliability—critical when your new restaurant needs equipment that won’t fail during peak service. Its stainless steel exterior and heavy-duty components minimize wear, while automatic controls reduce operator error and maintenance intervals. For entrepreneurs, that translates to lower lifetime costs and a faster return on investment. Concept Services inspects each unit before delivery and offers professional installation to ensure your steam generator arrives ready to perform and stays compliant with local codes.
