Container / Stack Steaming
Stack steaming is used when thermically treating compost and substrates such as turf. Depending on the amount, the material to be steamed is piled up to 70 cm height in steaming boxes or in small dump trailers. Steam is evenly injected via manifolds. For huge amounts, steaming containers and soil boxes are used which are equipped with suction systems to improve steaming results. Midget amounts can be steamed in special small steaming devices.
The amount of soil steamed should be tuned in a way that steaming time amounts to at most 1.5 h in order to avoid large quantities of condensed water in the bottom layers of the soil.
Steam Output kg/h: | 100 | 250 | 300 | 400 | 550 | 800 | 1000 | 1350 | 2000 |

In light substrates, such as turf, the performance per hour is significantly higher.
