Steam blasting

Steam blasting is a cleaning process characterized by the use of hot steam under high pressure. This method is used in various industrial applications to remove impurities, deposits or coatings from surfaces. The process is based on the kinetic energy and heat transfer of the hot steam, resulting in effective and gentle cleaning.

During steam blasting, water is heated in a special steam generator to produce steam under high pressure. This steam is then passed through a nozzle and directed at high speed onto the surface to be cleaned. The kinetic energy of the steam jet loosens impurities from the surface, while the high temperature helps to emulsify greasy substances and loosen deposits.

One advantage of steam blasting is its environmental friendliness, as it does not require the use of chemical cleaning agents. The hot steam alone can often effectively remove stubborn dirt, resulting in a lower environmental impact. In addition, steam blasting allows cleaning without the use of abrasive materials, which minimizes the risk of surface damage.

This method is used in various industrial sectors, from food processing to vehicle cleaning and graffiti removal. Steam blasting is versatile and particularly effective for cleaning surfaces that may be sensitive to abrasive or chemical cleaning agents.
