The Steamaster HPJ-2S 2-Gallon Jewelry Steam Cleaner is a professional-grade electric steamer built for jewelry stores, repair shops, and manufacturing workshops. Designed for demanding bench and backroom cleaning tasks, this American-made machine delivers pressurized steam to help remove polishing compound residue, oils, fingerprints, and accumulated dirt from compatible jewelry.
With an operating pressure of 75–80 PSI, a 2-gallon nominal tank capacity, and convenient foot-pedal steam control, the Steamaster HPJ-2S provides a practical cleaning solution for jewelers who regularly handle finished jewelry, repairs, and production pieces. Its heavy-duty construction and serviceable components make it suitable for professional workshop environments.
Professional Steam Cleaning for Jewelry Workshops
Jewelry often collects polishing residue and other contaminants in areas that are difficult to reach with a cloth or brush. The Steamaster HPJ-2S directs a concentrated stream of hot steam toward these surfaces, helping remove residue from accessible crevices, metalwork, and suitable stone settings.
This professional jewelry steam cleaner is particularly useful for:
- Final jewelry cleaning: Remove residual polishing compounds, fingerprints, and surface contamination before presentation or packaging.
- Jewelry repair shops: Clean compatible rings, chains, bracelets, and other jewelry after suitable repair and finishing procedures.
- Retail jewelry stores: Maintain a dedicated cleaning station for customer jewelry and inventory.
- Jewelry manufacturing: Incorporate steam cleaning into finishing and quality-control workflows.
- Post-ultrasonic cleaning: Use steam as an additional cleaning or rinsing step when the jewelry materials and settings are suitable for both methods.
Heavy-Duty Construction and Convenient Controls
The Steamaster HPJ-2S combines traditional boiler-based steam generation with practical controls for daily professional use. Its 2-gallon tank provides space for water and steam generation, while an external sight glass allows the operator to monitor the water level.
- 75–80 PSI operating pressure: Produces concentrated steam for professional cleaning applications.
- Foot-pedal steam release: Activate steam without operating a hand-controlled trigger, leaving your hands available for positioning jewelry with suitable holding tools.
- Continuous steam option: A separate switch position allows steam release without holding down the foot pedal.
- External water-level gauge: Displays the water level for monitoring during operation and refilling.
- Low-water cutoff: A thermostatic safety system interrupts heating when the water level becomes too low and requires manual resetting after the condition is corrected.
- Pressure gauge: Allows the operator to monitor pressure during heating and use.
- Stainless steel solenoid valve: Controls the release of steam through the nozzle.
- Indicator lights: Show heating, steam/fill, and reset functions.
- Manual filling: Uses a top-mounted funnel, with no permanent plumbing connection required for normal operation.
Operating Pressure and Heating Performance
The Steamaster HPJ-2S operates at approximately 75–80 PSI according to the manufacturer's operating instructions. From a cold start, allow at least 45 minutes for the unit to heat and build full operating pressure. The heating system cycles as pressure decreases and is restored.
Before directing steam at jewelry, the manufacturer recommends releasing steam for approximately five seconds into a suitable sink or container to clear condensation from the steam line. This helps prevent accumulated water from being discharged directly onto the jewelry during the initial steam release.
The foot pedal provides convenient control during individual cleaning tasks, while the steam switch offers an alternative for continuous steam discharge when appropriate.

Maintenance and Everyday Operation
Regular maintenance helps preserve the performance and service life of the Steamaster HPJ-2S. Operators should monitor the sight glass, keep water above the minimum level, and follow the manufacturer's procedures for filling, pressure release, and boiler drainage.
The operating manual recommends draining the boiler at least every other day during the first week of use and at least weekly afterward. Follow the specified pressure and power-off requirements before draining. The sight glass should also be checked regularly for deterioration and replaced when necessary.
SEP Tools carries replacement components for compatible Steamaster equipment, including Steamaster solenoid valves and replacement foot switches.
Important Jewelry Cleaning Precautions
Not all jewelry can safely withstand high-temperature, pressurized steam. Avoid steam cleaning porous, heat-sensitive, fracture-filled, or otherwise vulnerable gemstones unless their suitability has been established. Opals, pearls, certain treated gemstones, and jewelry with damaged or loose settings may require alternative cleaning methods.
Inspect each piece before cleaning and follow appropriate handling procedures. Hot steam and exposed machine components can cause serious burns. Use suitable jewelry-holding tools, keep hands away from the nozzle, and follow the Steamaster HPJ-2S operating manual.
