Making a steam sterilizer - bypassing the automatic shutoff??
    #26941311 - 09/17/20 08:37 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

(First post in 5 years!!!)

Heyyy guyyyssss!

I've been ramping up my equipment and wanna make a steam sterilizer out of a sauna steamer.  Just purchased one on eBay.  From what I understand, these units have automatic shutoffs after a certain number of minutes - my unit says 45, but some people have 20 minute units.  Solarity talks about it here.

I for the life of me cannot see an obvious looking jumper to pull to bypass the shutoff.  Is it possibly in the plug in control unit???






Thanks for your help :smile:

It might help to know the brand of steamer you have.

Do you have a schematic? Is this rated for the pressure you want to run?

I am sure it will run at atmospheric pressure. Or in other words no pressure.

Yup, atmospheric.  And it's unlabeled.  Same Chinese knockoff as everyone else probably.

Yea I looked it up and couldn't find anything. Sorry I won't be much help here. Out of curiosity why did you decide to go with the sauna steamer instead of just using a 4500 or 5500 watt element. I could have built the whole thing for what you paid for the sauna steamer and probably had money left over.

I dont have experience with this unit, but the STCMOET brand st-90 model I do. On that model you simply remove two pins that regulate the time so it runs continuously. I throw the control away. I cant tell from the pictures but before you go and buy the model I have, check and see if there is an area labeled .5 1H 2H and if there is, remove the pin.

Thanks for the effort!  I did end up returning the steam generator, the quality was abysmal anyway. 

You're right about cost, it would have been cheaper to DIY a barrel (the steam generator was only $160 though).  I live in a city so space is at a premium.  The extra $$ was worth it to avoid another large drum.  Also, I could've used my existing electric and plumbing without having to change much to the apartment itself - unplug the dryer and run a T from the washing machine, very accessible.

I've now actually gone the *complete* opposite route using an old aluminum pot, some fittings, RTV silicone, and an electric stovetop.  The steamer drum I'm using is only a 30 gallon.  With enough insulation it might be enough.  If not, I'm out less than $10 and will probably have to go the "traditional" route.
