Steam for the preservation and prolongation of raw materials
Cheese Production
Effective steam for UHT treatment, pasteurization, cooking, and cleaning, ensuring quality and avoiding costly mistakes.
The production of cheese, as well as the dairy industry, involves various processes where the proper supply of steam is crucial.
Steam boilers for the dairy sector
Vapor eficaz garantizando la calidad y evitando errores
Effective steam ensuring quality and avoiding errors Steam is essential in cheese and dairy production to achieve optimal results and prolong the shelf life of products.
The production of cheese, along with the dairy industry, involves several processes where the correct supply of steam is key, both for the desired product finish and for the preservation and prolongation of the shelf life of the materials involved in its preparation.
Processes such as UHT treatment, where milk is subjected to at least 135ºC in a short period of time, pasteurization, or cooking are clear examples where steam generation, supply, and control must be efficient and precise to obtain the desired results. An error in any of these phases can be very costly.
Other activities, such as cleaning within the facilities, also demonstrate that steam, thanks to its properties, is capable of cleaning and disinfecting surfaces without the need for chemical products.

FAQs.
We understand that many questions may arise. Here are some of the most common ones:
There are no emissions other than those generated in the electricity production process. Therefore, they can be neutral depending on the electric power mix. Electric steam boilers are the present and the future.
Absolutely. In fact, it is recommended to achieve maximum efficiency. There is no problem with remote control as long as the current regulations are respected.
A steam generator is a pressure vessel that, along with the network of pipes, is subject to regulatory control and complementary technical instructions, as stated in the Regulation published in Royal Decree 809/2021, dated September 21st. The maintenance is divided into a part that is simple for the owner to fulfill:
- Familiarize yourself with and apply the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the use, safety measures, and maintenance.
- Do not put the installation into service or prevent the operation of pressure equipment if the requirements of the Regulation are not met.
- Keep at least the following documentation of the pressure equipment while they are installed: Declaration of conformity, manufacturer’s instructions if applicable, and, if applicable, installation certificate, along with other supporting documentation (such as Installation Project, a record of the last periodic inspection, certifications of equipment repairs or modifications, as well as any other documentation required by the corresponding complementary technical instruction (ITC) of this regulation). For specific details, please refer to Annex IV of the regulation. This documentation should be made available to the competent authority of the autonomous community and to companies performing maintenance, repair, or periodic inspections.
- Use the pressure equipment within its intended operating limits as specified by the manufacturer and take it out of service if it no longer meets the necessary safety requirements.
- Perform maintenance on the installations, pressure equipment, safety accessories, and control devices in accordance with the operating conditions and manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring they are inspected at least once a year.
- Arrange for the performance of the periodic inspections corresponding to them in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 of the regulation.
- Maintain an up-to-date record of the pressure equipment belonging to categories I to IV, as defined in RD 709/2015, of July 24, or equipment assimilated to these categories according to Article 3.2 of the regulation, as well as their installations.
It is known that by applying heat to water, it transforms into steam at the boiling point under atmospheric pressure. From there, depending on the required degree of steam saturation for its proper application, we need to increase the pressure to obtain higher temperature. To change the temperature and saturation level of steam, the pressure must be modified.
It is a unit of pressure equivalent to 1 kg/cm², 0.98 atmospheres, or 14.50 PSI.
