<strong>thermoforming<\/strong> line for the <strong>packaging of processed cheese<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the process, it was necessary to <strong>inject steam directly into the container<\/strong> to generate a <strong>vacuum effect<\/strong>, ensure an <strong>airtight seal<\/strong> and <strong>guarantee the quality of the final product<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The

data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Independent water treatment system<\/strong> to ensure a constant quality of feed water, eliminating salts, silica and any impurities that could affect the purity of the steam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Direct connection and integration of the steam system with the packer<\/strong>, including condensate return to the skid, to optimize energy efficiency and minimize

sufficient to meet the estimated demand of <strong>10 m\u00b3\/h<\/strong>, keeping the working pressure constant at <strong>3 bar.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire assembly was manufactured entirely in <strong>AISI 304 stainless steel<\/strong>, including fairings, manifolds, tanks and structural frame, ensuring maximum durability and compliance with the requirements of the food environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system was mounted on a <strong>stainless steel skid <\/strong>with <strong>adjustable legs<\/strong>, which integrates all the elements necessary for the autonomous

sterility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PTFE \u00bc&#8221; BSP flexible connection pipe, with AISI 304 double internal mesh and external silicone coating, installed between the skid, the overheater, the machine

Maintenance is divided into a part that can be easily fulfilled by the owner: <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"p1\">Know and apply the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions regarding use, safety measures, and maintenance.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Not to put the installation into service or prevent the operation of pressure equipment if the requirements of the Regulation are not met.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Having at least the following documentation for the pressure equipment while they are installed: Declaration of conformity, manufacturer&#8217;s instructions (if applicable), and, if necessary, installation certificate, along with other supporting documentation (such as installation project, record of the last periodic inspection, certifications of equipment repairs or modifications, and any other documentation required by the relevant technical instruction complementary to this regulation). For detailed contents, refer to Annex IV of the regulation. Making this documentation available to the competent authority of the autonomous community and the companies responsible for maintenance, repair, or periodic inspections.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">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.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Perform maintenance on the installations, pressure equipment, safety accessories, and control devices in accordance with the operating conditions and manufacturer&#8217;s instructions, and <b>examine them at least once a year. <\/b> <\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Arranging for the necessary periodic inspections as required by Article 6 of the regulation.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Having and maintaining an up-to-date record of pressure equipment categories I to IV, as defined in RD 709\/2015, of July 24, or equipment similar to these categories according to Article 3.2 of the regulation, as well as their installations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n        \n    <button class=\"faqs-btn\">\n        <span>\n            <div class=\"screen-reader-text\">Open<\/div>\n        <\/span>\n        At what temperature is steam produced?

From there, depending on the required saturation degree of steam for its proper application, we need to increase the pressure to obtain a higher temperature. To change the temperature and saturation degree of steam, we always need to modify the pressure.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n        \n    <button class=\"faqs-btn\">\n        <span>\n
