Lavorwash GV VESUVIO 18 Industrial Steam Cleaner
Why Buy From Us
Continuous High-Temperature Steam for Heavy-Duty Commercial and Industrial Sites
The GV Vesuvio 18 is built for serious commercial cleaning where heat, pressure, and control matter. As a fully electric 3-phase industrial steam cleaner, it produces up to 180°C steam at 150 PSI — ideal for workplaces that need reliable sanitising, degreasing, and deep cleaning without relying on fuel-powered heating. From production areas and maintenance workshops to hospitality back-of-house environments, the Vesuvio 18 delivers consistent steam performance built to keep teams efficient and surfaces hygienic across a full shift.
One of the biggest advantages of the Vesuvio 18 is its flexibility during long cleaning sessions. It includes an onboard 25L water tank plus a 5L chemical tank for detergent support, but it can also be connected directly to a water supply for continuous operation — meaning fewer interruptions, less downtime, and smoother workflow when moving between multiple zones or completing scheduled cleaning cycles.
The full dashboard layout keeps critical functions in front of the operator, including a digital temperature display, temperature regulation, and clear pressure monitoring. Low-tension controls improve usability in busy work environments, while the timer cycle supports structured operation. Safety is built in throughout: the boiler activation key and gun activation key prevent unintended use by ensuring the system can't be triggered accidentally unless the correct steps are followed.
Key Features
- Fully electric 3-phase system, up to 180°C at 150 PSI — so heat and pressure stay consistent through long cleaning cycles without relying on fuel-based heating
- AISI 304 stainless steel boiler — so the machine holds up under continuous, high-temperature commercial use without corrosion
- Continuous refill via mains water connection — so cleaning runs without stopping to top up tanks mid-shift
- Onboard 25L water tank and 5L detergent tank — so the unit can also run untethered when a water line isn't available on-site
- Full control panel with digital temperature display — so operators can monitor and adjust output without guesswork
- Boiler activation key and gun activation key — so the system can't be triggered accidentally, protecting operators and avoiding downtime from misuse
- Timer cycle — so cleaning routines stay structured and repeatable across shifts and operators
- 3.5m steam hose — so operators can reach further without repositioning the machine
- Pivoting wheels with brakes — so the unit stays stable and locked in place while working
- Six included accessories with onboard holders — so tools stay organised and ready between jobs

With pivoting wheels and brakes, the unit is also easier to position and lock in place while working.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Vesuvio 18 different from the Etna 4.1 or Kolumbo?
The Vesuvio 18 is our 3-phase industrial model, built for continuous, high-volume steam output across a full shift. The Etna 4.1 suits general commercial sanitising and deep cleaning at a smaller scale, while the Kolumbo is a portable diesel steam generator for sites without three-phase power access.
Does the Vesuvio 18 need a special power connection?
Yes — it runs on a 400V, three-phase electrical supply. It's worth confirming three-phase power is available at your site before ordering, as installation may require an electrician if it isn't already in place.
Can it run without connecting to mains water?
Yes. The onboard 25L water tank and 5L detergent tank let it run fully untethered. Connecting to a mains water line simply enables continuous refill for longer, uninterrupted operation.
How is the boiler maintained over time?
The boiler discharge valve allows residual water to be released after each use, which helps reduce internal build-up and supports the stainless steel boiler's long-term service life.
