Silver Star SR-5000 Professional Garment Steamer
1350W continuous steam output. Quick-emission system. CE, VDE, UL, CSA & CQC certified. The core professional steamer in Silver Star’s commercial range — built for daily use in dry cleaners, retail stores, hotels, and tailoring studios.
Powerful Steam for Any Operating Condition
The SR-5000 is Silver Star’s core professional garment steamer, engineered for reliable performance in demanding commercial environments. Its quick steam emission system gets you working faster, with powerful 1,350W steam output that handles everything from delicate silks to heavy winter coats. Whether you’re finishing 50 garments a day in a dry cleaning shop or maintaining presentation standards across a hotel wardrobe service, the SR-5000 delivers consistent, high-volume steam without interruption.
Energy economy is built into the SR-5000’s operating cycle. The 200W pre-heat stage brings the boiler to operating temperature efficiently without the current spikes associated with high-wattage heat-up elements. Once at temperature, the 1,350W steam stage maintains continuous output throughout the working day, allowing operators to work without pausing, repositioning, or waiting for pressure to recover.
All electrical and electronic components in the SR-5000 carry CE, VDE, UL, CSA, and CQC certifications. This multi-market certification programme confirms that the SR-5000 meets international standards for electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and pressurised boiler operation — important for insurers, occupational health and safety compliance, and professional environments where equipment certification is a requirement of operation.
SR-5000 Features & Benefits
Quick Steam Emission
Ready to steam in minutes, minimising wait time during busy shifts. The quick-emission system means operators can start working sooner and return to work faster after breaks.
Energy Economy
The 200W pre-heat stage heats the boiler efficiently without high current draw. Steam cycling reduces power consumption during idle periods throughout the working day.
Work Efficiency
Continuous 1,350W steam flow with no pausing or refilling during a normal working shift. Designed for uninterrupted commercial use across high-volume garment finishing operations.
Internationally Certified
All electric and electronic parts carry CE, VDE, UL, CSA, and CQC certifications — confirming compliance with international electrical safety and EMC standards for commercial steam equipment.
Water Shortage Alarm
Automatic low-water alert prevents dry running and protects the heating element from damage. Audible alarm prompts the operator to refill before the boiler runs dry.
Durable Construction
Built for professional daily use in high-volume environments. Silver Star’s commercial steamer range is designed for continuous operation across extended working shifts rather than light domestic use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both models share the same 1,350W steam output, 8.5kg weight, and 560×325×370mm dimensions. The key difference is pre-heat wattage: the SR-5000 uses 200W for initial heat-up while the SR-8000 uses 800W, resulting in a faster boiler warm-up time on the SR-8000. For environments where the steamer is left on throughout the working day, the SR-5000’s lower pre-heat wattage is an energy advantage. Where operators need fast restart responsiveness between uses or work in cooler environments, the SR-8000 is the preferred choice.
Yes. The Silver Star SR-5000 supports both 120V and 220V operation, making it fully compatible with South African standard mains supply (220–230V / 50Hz). No transformer or converter is required for local use. Contact Unicorp to confirm the plug configuration supplied for the South African market.
All electrical and electronic components in the SR-5000 carry CE (European conformity), VDE (German electrical safety standard), UL (Underwriters Laboratories, USA), CSA (Canadian Standards Association), and CQC (China Quality Certification) certifications. This multi-market certification confirms the SR-5000 meets international electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and pressure vessel standards — a requirement for commercial steam equipment in professional environments.
