For manufacturers who use steam, do you have any of the following concerns?
![Inconsistent steaming that leads to poor product quality](../assets/img/page/steamchanger/steamchanger_list01.jpg)
![Rising fuel costs due to high crude oil prices that puts pressure on business operations](../assets/img/page/steamchanger/steamchanger_list02.jpg)
![The need to reduce fuel costs for curing precast concrete products](../assets/img/page/steamchanger/steamchanger_list03.jpg)
The Steam Changer elevates product quality and reduces fuel costs!
The Steam Changer remarkably reduces steam time while preventing inconsistency. By simply installing it between your current boiler and steamer, the steam quality will significantly improve.
The Steam Changer converts high-temperature, high-pressure dry steam generated from the boiler into clean steam at a constant temperature and ultra-low pressure with high humidity. It is a wet steam pressure reduction device with an excellent thermal conductivity and does not alter the heat calories.
Comparison: Raw steam vs. Steam Changer steam
Raw steam generated from a boiler is dry with low moisture content. On the other hand, steam passing through the Steam Changer becomes wet steam, also known as ultra-low pressure, high-humidity steam.
Recommended for the following industries
1. Seafood processing industry

The Steam Changer helps preserve the taste and deliciousness while retaining the appetizing color of food.
3. Noodle manufacturing industry
![Noodle manufacturing industry](../assets/img/page/steamchanger/list-photo03.jpg)
The Steam Changer offers better sterilizing effect when it is part of the process. It can also suppress the growth of bacteria on the noodles displayed on store shelves. There have been cases where the shelf life of products was extended.
4. Frozen food processing industry
![Frozen food processing industry](../assets/img/page/steamchanger/list-photo04.jpg)
Products will retain a high level of moisture during the steaming process, resulting in a tender and chewy texture when reheated at home.
5. Fragrance manufacturing industry
![Fragrance manufacturing industry](../assets/img/page/steamchanger/list-photo05.jpg)
Adopting the Steam Changer in the distillation process can enhance the aroma and prolong the scent. There were cases where the amount of extracted fragrance increased up to 4 times compared to the conventional method.
6. Precast concrete products manufacturing industry

The Steam Changer improves the strength of products while reducing fuel costs by up to 60%.
Benefits of the Steam Changer
1.Reducing processing time and costs
*Compared to boiler steam (according to our research)
Reduced steaming time by30-40%
Reduced fuel costs by30-60%
2.More stability in production
The installation of an easy-to-operate advanced automatic control system allows for consistent temperature inside the chamber.
- No inconsistent steaming
- No need to rely on an expert technician for valve opening and closing
- Eliminating the hassle of opening and closing steam valves, as well as the risk of forgetting to do so
- Creating the heating program does not require special knowledge
- The heating process can be easily confirmed on the display without the need to worry about errors caused by misoperation. (Optional feature)
