What is the function of a steam generator during wheat drying?
The persistent rains of harvest season often pose a challenge of wheat mold for flour producers. Grains with high moisture content will heat up and sprout within three days of storage, rendering them unusable for flour production. At this point, steam generators become the key equipment to turn the situation around, playing multiple core roles in the wheat drying process.
First and foremost, providing a stable heat source is the fundamental function of a steam generator. By burning fuel, it generates high-temperature steam within 28 seconds. This steam is then piped to the dryer's radiators, where it transfers thermal energy to the drying medium (air), ensuring wheat evaporates moisture at an optimal temperature. Compared to traditional coal-fired boilers, steam generators offer higher thermal efficiency, rapidly elevating the drying environment's temperature and shortening the drying cycle.
Secondly, precise temperature control ensures quality. Wheat drying requires strict temperature regulation (typically 40-60°C). Excessive heat causes protein denaturation and starch gelatinization, compromising processing quality. Steam generators utilize temperature control systems to adjust steam output, stabilizing drying chamber temperatures within ±2°C. This prevents localized overheating, preserving wheat's inherent nutrients and texture.
Additionally, energy efficiency and environmental benefits are significant. Modern steam generators predominantly utilize clean energy sources, achieving thermal efficiency exceeding 100%. Simultaneously, complete combustion minimizes sulfur emissions, while nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced to as low as 20mg/Nm³, complying with environmental regulations and lowering corporate pollution control costs.
Finally, enhanced adaptability boosts flexibility. The steam generator can flexibly adjust steam output based on wheat moisture content and batch size, accommodating various models of continuous or batch dryers. This meets the diverse needs of both large-scale farming operations and smallholder farmers' decentralized drying requirements, providing stable pre-treatment assurance for grain storage and processing.

What are the typical applications for steam generators?
Feed Processing: Steam is used for conditioning prior to feed pelleting to soften raw materials and eliminate pathogens such as Salmonella, while facilitating pellet formation. Steam-conditioned feed pellets achieve optimal hardness, resist disintegration, and enhance livestock digestion and absorption rates. In large-scale feed mill production lines, steam generators typically operate in tandem with pelletizers and coolers.
