Wineries have used steaming for decades and it is universally useful. Steam heats up and pasteurises must and mash Steam easily cleans tanks and barrels Steam facilitates quick removal of deposits and sediments Steam sterilises filtering systems and filling plants Steam efficiently disinfects bottles
Steam can do even more than hot water 100°C hot steam contains almost five times more energy than 100°C hot water. Moreover, the density of steam is a thousand times less than that of water. This allows steam to be easily transported without expensive pump systems. Due to these factors, steaming is the most efficient among all competing methods on the market. The easy application of steam opens an unbeatably wide range of uses for it. Take advantage of steaming, too – every cent counts!

The flow rates stated above refer to the heating of 1,000 litres of mash at ~85°C. For such tasks, you need about 70kg steam. At lower target temperatures or higher initial temperatures, the hourly flow rate will be correspondingly higher.
