From grain to feed
Steam Set
The Ottevanger Steam set supplies dry, high quality steam for conditioners, presses, expanders, and compactors. A pressure reducing unit and drainage vessel create superheated steam that heats product with minimal condensation, improving conditioning and often increasing press capacity by up to 20%. Compact, fully assembled systems are available from 150 to 2,500 kg/h.
- Superheated, dry steam via steam-flash in drainage vessel
- High steam temperature up to approx. 140 °C
- Higher product temperature with minimal fouling from condensation

FAQ
It generates dry, superheated steam at the required pressure/temperature for conditioning on presses, conditioners, expanders and compactors.
After pressure reduction, steam flashes in a volume-increasing drainage vessel, producing superheated, dry steam with minimal condensation.
Dry steam raises product temperature and improves conditioning; an increase in press capacity of about 20% is no exception.
Steam temperature can reach approximately 140 °C, depending on settings.
A complete, instrumented package including reducing unit, drainage and condensate vessels, valves, steam traps, control valve with 4–20 mA control/feedback, gauges and insulated aluminium-clad finish.
