href=\"https:\/\/giconmes.es\/en\/steam-generators\/cleaning-and-disinfection-automation\/brushless-conveyor-cleaning\/\">Brushless system<\/a> to the client\u2014an automated cleaning system designed specifically for <strong>belt conveyors<\/strong> that <strong>completely eliminates the need for manual intervention<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The operating principle is simple and effective: the machine <strong>distributes steam evenly across the entire width of the conveyor belt<\/strong> through a <strong>conveyor<\/strong> that carries away the residue, <strong>cleaning and disinfecting the surface in a single pass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process is <strong>cumulative<\/strong> \u2014the belt becomes cleaner with each cycle\u2014and, since it uses only steam, <strong>no chemicals are required<\/strong>: the heat alone removes stubborn grease and reduces the presence of bacteria, yeast, and mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>built-in vacuum <\/strong>automatically <strong>removes <\/strong>loose debris and moisture, leaving the belt dry and ready for immediate use after cleaning, with no downtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, the system was completed with a <strong>20-kW<\/strong> <strong>RGV0020 mobile steam generator<\/strong>, which powered a straight head adapted to the width of the tarpaulin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system is supplied on a tray that slides under the conveyor belt, making it easy to position and install in a matter of minutes. Because it is <strong>portable and adjustable<\/strong>, the same unit can be used on other conveyor belts in the plant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key technical aspects of this challenge include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Steam-only cleaning, chemical-free<\/strong>, ideal for removing chocolate, cocoa, and grease residues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minimum water consumption, starting at 13 L\/h<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The tape is dry and ready to use thanks <\/strong>to the built-in vacuum system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Portable and quick to install<\/strong>, it can be adapted to virtually any width starting at <strong>300 mm<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

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
