Steam chambers for grain expansion in steam-flaking

Ensure precise grain expansion with steam chambers, designed for uniform steam distribution and optimal conditioning in steam-flaking operations.

Enhances Grain Conditioning and Expansion

Roskamp’s industrial steam chambers are engineered for high-efficiency grain conditioning, utilizing a unique steam inlet design to ensure consistent, low-velocity steam infusion. These chambers feature a vertical, inversely tapered design for optimal grain expansion, supporting high-volume operations in sectors like animal feed and biomass production. Built from 12-gauge stainless steel, they offer exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. With multilevel steaming ports and all external piping, they maintain precise steam control. Available in customizable heights and diameters, they integrate seamlessly into existing process lines and are fitted with tempered sight glass inspection windows for easy monitoring. Optional digital temperature probes and height extensions enhance operational flexibility.

Benefits

  • Ensures uniform grain conditioning, enhancing end-product quality and consistency.
  • Adapts to custom space requirements, optimizing factory floor utilization.
  • Minimizes steam loss with external piping, improving energy efficiency.
  • Reduces inspection time with easy-access tempered sight glass windows.
  • Supports high-volume operations, maximizing production capacity.
