Product Description
The TINDO TDKZ-series gas steaming oven is an energy-efficient LPG/LNG dual-fuel steaming cabinet for bulk cooking of rice, seafood, vegetables, buns, and ready-to-eat meals. Gas burners generate steam directly beneath the cabinet, eliminating the need for a separate steam boiler — making it the lowest-installation-cost steaming solution for central kitchens, restaurants, hotels, and food processing facilities without existing steam infrastructure.
Five models cover 6 to 24 pans, with full stainless steel construction. Choose LPG (bottled) or LNG/natural gas (pipeline) based on your local fuel availability — the burner system is factory-configured for either.
For electric steaming requirements, see our Electric Steaming Oven TDZXD Series. Both series share the same cabinet platform, tray systems, and automatic water feed — the only difference is the heat source.
The steam oven is available in two fuel configurations — LPG (bottled) and LNG/natural gas (pipeline) — selected at order time. Both use the same stainless steel burner system with gas safety valve, flame failure protection, and adjustable flame control. Specify your fuel type at order time; the burner configuration is factory-fitted.
Unlike steam-jacketed systems that require a separate boiler room, the gas steam oven generates steam directly in an integrated water tray heated by gas burners below. Water is fed automatically via float valve. This eliminates boiler installation, steam piping, pressure vessel certification, and boiler maintenance — the total installation cost is a fraction of a boiler-fed system.
Direct gas flame heating transfers heat straight into the water tray with minimal loss. Compared to electric steaming cabinets, gas operation typically reduces energy cost by 30-50% in regions where gas is cheaper than electricity. The burner modulates to maintain a steady steam supply without wasted fuel during hold cycles.
Cabinet, door, trays, and water tray are SUS304 food-grade stainless steel. Hygienic radiused corners and drain channels prevent water pooling and bacterial growth. Designed for daily high-pressure washdown.
Five configurations from 6 pans (small restaurants) to 24 pans (industrial central kitchens). Each pan holds one standard gastronorm or bakery pan, allowing simultaneous steaming of different products on separate pans with a single cabinet.
Float-valve-controlled automatic water feed maintains the water tray level during continuous operation. Adjustable flame control regulates steam output from gentle simmering (vegetables, fish) to high-volume rolling steam (rice, buns, industrial batch cooking).

Energy cost | 30-50% lower where gas is cheap | Higher in most regions |
Fuel flexibility | LPG or LNG | N/A (electric only) |
Best markets | Africa, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Latin America | Urban kitchens, no-gas facilities |
Footprint | Similar | Similar |
Rule of thumb: If your facility has any gas access, the gas steaming oven wins on operating cost. Choose electric only when gas is unavailable or maximum steam stability is required.

Q: Does this require a steam boiler?
No. Steam is generated directly in the integrated water tray by gas burners — no boiler room, no steam piping, no pressure vessel certification required.
Q: Can I switch between LPG and LNG later?
The burner system is fuel-specific. Converting requires a burner kit change — possible but not field-user-serviceable. Specify your fuel type at order time to avoid conversion later.
Q: What's the difference between this and the electric TDZXD series?
The TDKZ uses LPG/LNG burners; the TDZXD uses electric heating elements. Same steaming function, different fuel. Gas is cheaper to operate in most markets; electric has no gas infrastructure requirement.
Q: Can different products be steamed simultaneously?
Yes — separate pans allow different products in the same cabinet, as long as cooking times are compatible. For products with very different steam requirements, use separate cabinets or stagger loading.
Q: What safety features are included?
Flame failure protection (auto gas cutoff), gas safety valve, adjustable flame control, and insulated doors to prevent burn injury. CE-compliant gas train.
