Dry steam cleaning represents the peak efficiency and environmental responsibility in industrial and commercial cleaning applications. This method involves boiling water within a sealed vessel until it reaches a specific pressure. This process increases the water’s temperature beyond its normal boiling point, and when this pressurised steam is released into the atmosphere, it expands rapidly—a phenomenon that can be likened to a continuous explosion. This rapid expansion, accompanied by the distinctive hiss of releasing steam, results in the steam cooling almost instantly to 100°C at the release point, producing a low-moisture vapour.
KHD Technology has mastered the art of harnessing this dry steam vapour for a multitude of cleaning tasks. The low moisture content of dry steam makes it an exceptional choice for environments where moisture control is crucial, such as bakery, snack, chocolate and all food production facilities. In these settings, dry steam cleaning eliminates the downtime associated with waiting for conveyor belts and equipment to dry, thereby optimizing operational efficiency and reducing the risk of moisture-related contamination.
The effectiveness of dry steam cleaning extends beyond mere surface cleanliness. The intense heat and force of the steam are capable of removing mould, bacteria, and allergens, breaking down debris without the need for chemical detergents or cleaning agents. This ensures a high degree of sanitation and supports environmental sustainability by reducing chemical use.
Ideal for food factories, healthcare settings, and any dry environment requiring stringent hygiene standards, dry steam cleaning offers a powerful, eco-friendly solution. Its ability to clean, sanitise, and enable immediate reuse of equipment makes it a valuable tool in maintaining the highest levels of cleanliness and operational efficiency.
It just works
