BWT VT2000 Pure steam generator

• Sterilisation of processing lines and vessels in pharmaceutical and food production.
• Humidification in cleanroom environments where high purity steam is critical.
• Direct steam injection for cooking and thermal processing of sensitive food products.
• Sanitisation of packaging materials and equipment in aseptic filling operations.

Typical capacity

Pure steam generators of this class commonly offer outputs ranging from 500 kg/hour to over 5000 kg/hour, with this specific model indicating a potential output of up to 2200 kg/hour.

Power supply

Units typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V or 415V, 50Hz, with significant current draw depending on heater bank size.

Feedwater requirements

Pure steam generators necessitate a high-quality feedwater supply, often reverse osmosis (RO) or demineralised water, to prevent scaling and maintain steam purity.

Construction materials

Wetted parts are typically constructed from 316L stainless steel to ensure steam purity and corrosion resistance, often with electropolished surfaces.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, units are commonly skid-mounted, requiring a floor area of approximately 2m x 1.5m to 3m x 2m, plus service access.

Control system

Modern pure steam generators typically feature PLC-based control systems with HMI interfaces for automated operation, monitoring, and alarm management.

• What is the difference between pure steam and clean steam?

  Pure steam is generated from highly purified water (e.g., WFI quality) and meets stringent non-condensable gas and endotoxin limits, making it suitable for direct product contact. Clean steam is generated from treated water but has less strict purity requirements than pure steam.

• What maintenance is typically required for a pure steam generator?

• Can this unit be used for sterilisation?

• What utilities are needed to operate this equipment?

• Is a vacuum pump always included with a pure steam generator?

Pure steam and pure water systems are regarded as critical infrastructure in pharmaceutical and biotech operations. Buyers typically value reliability, compliance with GMP standards, and minimal maintenance history when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying system documentation and service records. Common strengths include robust construction, established vendor support networks, and long operational lifespans when properly maintained. Buyers should prioritise systems from reputable manufacturers with clear maintenance histories.
