About Steam Boilers: Industry and Company News
Steam boilers play a vital role in various industries, and now steam is also showing its advantages in the food and beverage industry. Commercial steam boilers are the energy core of industries such as hospitality, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. However, traditional systems often suffer from low thermal efficiency (typically only 80%), high maintenance costs, and excessive emissions. Below, we discuss the issues surrounding steam boilers in the food and beverage industry.
What is a steam boiler?
A steam boiler is a sealed container that heats water to produce steam, which can be used for a variety of purposes. These systems are common in manufacturing plants, power plants, and various industrial facilities. The steam produced can drive turbines to generate electricity or provide heat for industrial processes.
7 Major Advantages of Steam Boilers for the Food and Beverage Industry
1. Extreme Energy Efficiency (Specially Needed in Tropical Climates)
Steam preheating time is reduced by 40%, saving $1,200 in monthly gas costs
Unique multi-fuel system supports quick switching between LPG, biogas, and electricity
Remains at 95% thermal efficiency even in tropical climates (conventional equipment is only 80%)
2. Food Safety
304 food-grade stainless steel liner: Prevents heavy metal precipitation, ensuring food safety
Dry saturated steam technology (dryness ≥ 99.5%):
Prevents condensate from contaminating ingredients
Reduces residual bacteria in food by 90%
3. Revolutionary Space Optimization
Singapore Central Kitchen Case Study:
Vertical modular design (occupies only 1 square meter)
Steam reaches operational status in 15 seconds (conventional boilers take 150 seconds)
Increases kitchen space utilization to 70%
4. Intelligent Operation and Maintenance System
AI Water Quality Monitoring:
Automatically softens hard water
Eliminates steam odor caused by scale
5. Cost Control Advantages
6. Environmental Compliance
Ultra-low emissions: NOx <30mg/m³ (meets Bangkok's new 2024 environmental regulations)
Steam recovery system: 90% condensate recycling, saving 45% water resources
7. Improved product quality
Precise temperature and pressure control (±0.1MPa error)
Southeast Asian catering pain point case studies
1. Singapore Central Kitchen
Original pain point: 20 branches with varying steaming standards resulted in an 8% spoilage rate for delivered food.
Solution: Utilizing a smart steam boiler cluster + cloud-based steaming SOP management
Results:
Standardized steaming process (constant 121°C/0.15MPa)
Delivery loss rate reduced to 0.5%
Received the SFA Food Safety Excellence Award
Bali Resort
Original pain point: Equipment corroded by high-salt air on the island, with an annual replacement cost of $15,000.
Solution: 316L stainless steel corrosion-resistant boiler + Air Filtration Module
Results: Equipment lifespan extended to 8 years, maintenance costs reduced by 60%
Steam Boiler Industry Trends
Several recent trends have emerged in the steam boiler industry:
Regulatory Changes: Governments worldwide are committed to implementing stricter emission and safety standards, driving equipment upgrades across various industries.
Haizhengxian Recent Company News
Steam Boiler Solutions
Haizhengxian Commercial Appliance Co., Ltd. has recently launched a highly energy-efficient commercial kitchen appliance that delivers 40% energy savings and doubles the efficiency of traditional kitchen steam equipment. (Customers in Europe, America, Australia, and Southeast Asia have personally tested this product, demonstrating cost savings, improved efficiency, and enhanced hygiene.)
Forecast and Strategic Recommendations for the Next Three Years
2025: Phase change material heat storage technology becomes widespread (storing electricity at night for daytime use; electricity prices in Thailand differ by a factor of five between daytime and nighttime).
2026: AR-assisted O&M becomes standard (technicians use glasses to access equipment data).
2027: Direct steam printing technology becomes commercially available (Michelin restaurants customize the molecular structure of ingredients).
Southeast Asian Market Data
Impact of New Standards:
Indonesia's new BPOM regulations (effective in 2025): Steam equipment must have built-in heavy metal sensors. Singapore requires all commercial boilers to be connected to an energy monitoring system.
Certification Barriers:
JAKIM's halal certification pass rate is only 41% (critically related to steam pipe cleaning verification).
