However, the existing cleaning system had <strong>serious limitations in terms of efficiency and output quality<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The washer integrated into the line left the conveyor belt with <strong>excessive moisture and condensation<\/strong>, resulting in a poor finish and the need for additional manual cleaning to meet the hygiene standards required by the food industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the process involved <strong>very long drying times<\/strong>, which prevented production from restarting immediately.

A high-power water-air aspirator was connected to this point, capable of simultaneously suctioning steam, water and residues, leaving the belt completely dry at the end of the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to this development, the system makes it possible to <strong>clean the 675 meters of conveyor in just two hours<\/strong>, drastically reducing downtime and eliminating the need for additional manual cleaning.<\/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 operation of the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Technology

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
