Electric steam generators: The future of steam supply in the brewing industry

The brewing industry has always been closely associated with the use of steam. From mashing and boiling to bottling and sterilization, steam plays a central role in numerous brewing processes.

Traditionally, fossil-fuelled steam boilers have been used for steam generation. However, these systems are not only environmentally harmful but also expensive to operate and require high maintenance.

Electric steam generators offer a forward-looking alternative. They offer the following advantages:

Sustainability: Electric steam generators emit no greenhouse gases or particulate matter, contributing to a cleaner environment and reducing the CO2 footprint. Many of our customers partially use their own solar power, making the operations even more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Efficiency: Electric steam generators are known for their high efficiency. All the energy input is converted into steam without heat loss, saving energy and reducing operating costs.

Flexibility: Electric steam generators can be deployed as needed. They are ready for use within about 5 minutes and can be adjusted to the fluctuating steam requirements in the brewery. This allows for flexible and efficient energy management.

Modularity: Electric steam generators are modular and can be installed in any size, allowing steam production to be tailored to the specific needs of the brewery.

Ease of Maintenance: Electric steam generators require minimal maintenance. They are free from soot and deposits, simplifying maintenance and extending the life of the equipment.

Regional Brewing Craft with Modern Technology from DINO

The brewery "De Lütte" from Lüneburg in then North of Germany has also recognized this potential. Its owner, Jan Koch, has equipped his new production facility with a modern brewing system heated by an electric steam generator from DINO.
With the investment in a new brewing system, Mr. Koch aims to optimize his production processes while reducing his ecological footprint.
Since the commissioning of the new brewing system in Egestorf, Mr. Koch has been impressed with the DINO steam generator: "The system runs smoothly and meets all my expectations. Steam generation is efficient and reliable, and I am actively contributing to environmental protection."
