Food production requires a significant amount of heat for various stages of the process, such as drying, pasteurization, and sterilization. SolarSteam technology can be used to provide this process heat, which can be a more sustainable and cost-effective option compared to traditional heating methods.

drying

70-180°C
One of the most common uses of SolarSteam technology in the food processing industry is for drying of food products. Solar dryers can be used to dry fruits, vegetables, grains, and other food products. The drying process can be achieved through direct or indirect solar radiation, depending on the product and the desired outcome.

Pasteurization

70-140°C
SolarSteams technology can be used to pasteurize milk and other food products. The process involves heating the food to a specific temperature for a certain amount of time to kill any harmful bacteria. Solar pasteurization systems can be used in remote areas where electricity is not available.

sterilization

120°C
In addition to pasteurization, SolarSteam technology can also be used to sterilize food products. The process involves heating the food to a higher temperature for a longer period of time to kill all microorganisms. This is often used in the canning industry.

cooking

60-100°C
Solar cookers can be used to cook food in the food processing industry. These cookers can be used to cook grains, legumes, and other food products. Solar cookers are especially useful in areas where fuel is expensive or not readily available.

cleaning

80-95°C
SolarSteam technology can also be used to clean food processing equipment. Solar-powered steam cleaners can be used to clean equipment and surfaces, reducing the need for chemicals and water.

bottle washing

60-80°C
SolarSteam technology can be involved in bottle washing processes in the alcohol industry by providing heat for the washing operation. SolarSteam systems capture sunlight and convert it into thermal energy, which can be used to heat water or a cleaning solution. The heated fluid can then be used to clean and sterilize bottles.
