Substrate steaming

Steaming methods

Substrate steaming

Sterilizing loose substrate in bulk using bunkers or containers is an efficient way to steam large volumes. Using superheated steam is one of the most effective methods for sterilizing substrates, producing a clean, sanitized material that is ready for re-use.

Advantages of Substrate Steaming

One key benefit of substrate steaming is its flexibility; it can be applied to both small and large quantities. Containers or bunkers are commonly used, and Konflex offers ready-made examples and plans for you to build your own bunker(s).

We can also provide the necessary materials or supply a mobile container option.

How It Works

Superheated steam is introduced on top of the substrate while a specialized suction ventilator creates a vacuum at the bottom, ensuring even distribution of steam throughout the substrate.

For optimal efficiency in handling large volumes, we recommend using multiple bunkers in a rotating system: one bunker steams while another is being prepared.

Our team can help you determine the best substrate steaming method for your needs and guide you toward the ideal solution.
