solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution implemented consisted of integrating <strong>steam cleaning<\/strong> into the <strong>plant&#8217;s nighttime cleaning<\/strong> procedure, progressively replacing traditional pressurized water cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this purpose, an industrial steam generator RGV20 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/giconmes.es\/en\/steam-generators\/mobile-steam-generators\/steam-generator-rgv-0020\/\">industrial steam generator RGV20<\/a><\/strong>industrial steam generator, configured with multiple accessories &#8211;<strong>application<\/strong> nozzles, <strong>copper brushes<\/strong> and <strong>specific applicators &#8211;<\/strong>that made it possible to adapt the steam to the different types of surfaces and levels of dirt present in the factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of high-temperature steam made it possible to <strong>directly attack the most critical dirt in the process<\/strong>, formed by mixtures of food residues and oils, <strong>without the need for large water flows or the intensive use of chemical detergents<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the versatility of the accessories, the system was integrated unchanged into the existing operation, maintaining cleaning times and facilitating access to structural and hard-to-reach areas, even without dismantling machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the point of view of water consumption, the impact was immediate and quantifiable. Based on a daily cleaning during the night shift, the previous pressurized water system involved an estimated consumption of 3,000 liters per cleaning, which amounted to approximately 1,095 m\u00b3 of water per year. With the implementation of the steam system, <strong>water consumption was reduced by 85% to 90%<\/strong>, since water is used only for steam generation and not as a dragging element.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This resulted in an annual residual consumption of between 110 and 165 m\u00b3, which represents an <strong>annual saving of between 930 and 985 m\u00b3 of water<\/strong>, in addition to an equivalent reduction in wastewater generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reduction in consumption allowed the customer to clearly advance its environmental objectives, aligning itself with the requirements of <strong>ISO 14001<\/strong>, EMAS and responsible water management criteria, without compromising the hygiene standards required in the food industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, steam cleaning established itself as a technically and environmentally efficient solution, capable of replacing pressurized water cleaning, drastically reducing resource consumption and improving the overall sustainability of the industrial cleaning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p

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
