Compost steam generator

for soil substrate

The MSD GmbH offers many efficient devices for sanitization of substrates: soil, peat, rock wool, pumice, Perlite etc. In these applications, we can reduce the steam consumption up to 15 kg/cbm even for small quantities. Using MSD steaming systems, you can already sanitize your substrate at average price of about 10-15 euros per cubic metre and completely liberate it from weeds, weed seeds and soil diseases. If you treat large quantities exceeding 10.000 cbm, the expenses can be reduced even to 2 euros/cbm. Basically, we have very effective steaming systems for large and small companies who want to process compost to a valuable natural product or to re-use the substrates at low cost. Energy consumption Steaming of substrates is one of the most cost-efficient methods. We have developed systems that allow optimal sanitization of substrates at 80°C and higher even at ~1kg (=~1.2 litre) heating oil per 1 cubic metre substrate. To maintain the minimum energy consumption, the substrate should be sufficiently dry and loose. Moreover, for quantities exceeding 4-5 cbm, an exhausting device would allow reduction of steam consumption to 15 kg steam per cubic metre. Know how! Tips and tricks Systems with steam trolleys from 0.5 to 1 cbm volume are ideally suitable for small business. These trolleys are basically tiltable and provided with removable covers closed by four spring retainers and with a detachable steam distributor. So the trolley can be universally used for transportation purposes all the year. The truck width of such a trolley is about 80cm.
