- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, pure steam generators commonly range from 100 kg/h to several thousand kg/h, depending on the specific model and configuration.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V or 415V, 50Hz, with specific amperage requirements varying by heating capacity.
- Control system
- Modern pure steam generators, such as this unit, commonly feature integrated PLC control systems (e.g., Allen Bradley Compact Logix) with HMI touchscreens for operational control and monitoring.
- Materials of construction
- Process-contact parts are typically constructed from 316L stainless steel, with external sheathing and frame commonly in 304 stainless steel, ensuring compliance with pharmaceutical standards.
- Certifications
- Equipment in this category is typically CE marked and designed to meet pharmacopoeia standards (e.g., USP, EP) for pure steam quality, often supplied with 3.1 material certification.
- Feed water requirements
- Pure steam generators typically require pre-treated feed water, such as purified water or WFI, to ensure steam quality and minimise scaling.
- Included ancillaries
- Units of this specification commonly include a feed water pump system, pure steam condensate sampling, and integrated analysers for feed water and pure steam quality.
