Product Description
The SGXH83A Electric Steam Generator is an essential auxiliary machine for modern edible mushroom production facilities. It is mainly designed to provide stable and continuous steam supply for mushroom cultivation processes, especially sterilization operations that require reliable high-temperature steam.
In edible mushroom cultivation, steam plays a critical role in preparing a clean cultivation environment. Before inoculation, mushroom substrate materials must undergo sterilization to reduce harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, molds, and competing fungi. A stable steam source directly affects sterilization efficiency and cultivation success rate.
The SGXH83A converts water into high-temperature steam through an efficient electric heating system. With a 60 kW heating power, the machine can produce up to 83 kg of steam per hour, providing sufficient thermal energy for mushroom production processes.
The equipment adopts a PLC fully automatic control system, which allows intelligent operation and precise management of the steam generation process. The system can automatically monitor and control operating parameters, improving safety, reducing manual workload, and ensuring stable steam output.
Compared with traditional steam supply methods, the SGXH83A features:
- Compact structure
- Easy installation
- High energy efficiency
- Stable steam production
- Simple operation
- Automatic control
The compact size (600 × 600 × 1500 mm) makes it suitable for mushroom factories with limited installation space. It can be installed close to sterilization equipment or production lines, reducing steam transmission loss and improving overall efficiency.
The steam generator can be integrated with various mushroom cultivation equipment, including sterilization chambers, atmospheric sterilization cabinets, substrate processing systems, and other steam-demanding equipment.
Working Principle
Water Supply
Clean water enters the steam generator through the water supply system.
The water level control system automatically monitors the internal water volume to ensure safe operation.
Electric Heating Process
The electric heating elements convert electrical energy into thermal energy.
The generated heat rapidly increases the water temperature until it reaches the evaporation point.
Steam Generation
As water continues heating, steam is produced inside the heating chamber.
The system separates steam from water to provide stable and continuous steam output.
Automatic Parameter Control
The PLC control system monitors and adjusts:
- Water level
- Heating status
- Steam pressure
- Operating conditions
This ensures stable steam production and improves operational safety.
Steam Supply to Mushroom Equipment
The generated steam is delivered through pipelines to connected equipment, including:
- Sterilization chambers
- Steam sterilizers
- Substrate treatment systems
The high-temperature steam transfers heat into mushroom cultivation materials to complete sterilization or heating processes.
Automatic Protection and Operation
The control system provides automatic protection functions.
When abnormal conditions occur, the system can stop operation or send alerts to ensure safe equipment use.
