Continuous 180°C Steam for Heavy-Duty Commercial and Industrial Sites
The GV Vesuvio 18 is a fully electric 3-phase industrial steam cleaner that produces saturated steam at up to 180°C and 10 bar (about 145 PSI), at 26.5 kg per hour. It is built for sites that need sanitising, degreasing and deep cleaning without fuel-powered heating, including production areas, maintenance workshops and hospitality back-of-house.
The boiler refills from the onboard 25 L water tank while you work, so cleaning does not stop to top up. A separate 5 L detergent tank and detergent pump let operators mix chemicals with the steam when a job needs it.
Key Features
- Fully electric 3-phase system, up to 180°C at 10 bar so heat and pressure stay consistent through long cleaning cycles without fuel-based heating
- 26.5 kg/h steam production from an 18,000 W boiler so large areas and heavy soiling are handled without waiting for steam to recover
- AISI 304 stainless steel boiler (18 L) so the machine holds up under continuous, high-temperature commercial use
- Boiler refills from the onboard 25 L water tank during operation so cleaning continues without stopping mid-shift
- 5 L detergent tank with separate detergent and water pumps so steam and detergent can be combined for greasy or heavily soiled surfaces
- Digital temperature display, thermoregulator and pressure gauge so operators can monitor and adjust output without guesswork
- Low water level display with buzzer so operators are warned before the boiler runs short
- Boiler activation key and gun activation key so the system can't be triggered accidentally, protecting operators from misuse
- Two level controls, a thermostat, a pressure switch and a mechanical pressure valve so multiple independent safeguards protect the unit and operator
- Timer cycle so cleaning routines stay structured and repeatable across shifts and operators
- 3.5 m steam hose so operators can reach further without repositioning the machine; longer 6, 10, 15 and 20 m steam gun hoses are available as options
- Two pivoting wheels with brakes and two fixed wheels, suitable for food processing areas so the unit moves easily and stays locked in place while working
- Onboard accessory holders and boiler discharge valve so tools stay organised and residual water can be released after use, helping reduce internal build-up

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Vesuvio 18 different from the Etna 4.1 or Kolumbo?
The Vesuvio 18 is the 3-phase industrial model, with an 18,000 W boiler and 26.5 kg/h of steam for continuous, high-volume work across a shift. The Etna 4.1 is a smaller multi-function unit that combines steam with wet and dry vacuum and carpet extraction. The Kolumbo is a portable diesel steam generator that runs from a standard 10 Amp outlet, so it suits sites without three-phase power.
Does the Vesuvio 18 need a special power connection?
Yes. It runs on a 400 V three-phase supply. Confirm three-phase power is available at your site before ordering, as installation may require an electrician if it isn't already in place.
Can I mix detergent with the steam?
Yes. The 5 L detergent tank, separate detergent pump and steam/detergent selectors let operators combine detergent with steam for greasy or heavily soiled surfaces, or use steam alone.
How far can I reach from the machine?
The standard steam hose is 3.5 m. Steam gun hoses in 6, 10, 15 and 20 m lengths are available as optional accessories if you need to work further from the unit.
How is the boiler maintained over time?
The boiler discharge valve lets residual water be released after each use, which helps reduce internal build-up and supports the long-term service life of the stainless steel boiler.
