SuperKlean Steam Trap and Strainer implementation has been noticeably trending upwards over the last few years, as Plant Maintenance and Safety Managers become more knowledgeable on the advantages of ‘clean steam’ and ‘pre-cleaned’ cold water flowing through their industrial sites and through SuperKlean Hose Stations and hot water hoses.

Installation teams who add SuperKlean DuraMix 8000 steam hose stations know that new pipes within factories often need to be cleared of residue that might have collected inside new pipes as they were fitted, mounted, and run throughout new and retrofitted facilities.

Processing food, beverage and animal slaughter plants, as well as many dairy, cheese and confectionary vertical markets often have environments that require enhanced cleaning and sanitation. This results in the need for ultra-clean and well-maintained water and steam supplies, often over multiple shifts every day. Additional examples include pharmaceutical companies and perfume makers, where exacting standards are extended purification of the entire process are mandatory. These installations often require extensive use of sanitized water, steam, and stainless steel equipment. In every case, SuperKlean’s wide range of hose stations, steam traps, cold water and steam strainers, hot water hoses, and industrial nozzles provide most excellent solutions.

In older, aging facilities, steam traps and cold water and steam strainers are often a necessity as industrial plants and factories built decades ago experience the interior of pipes beginning to deteriorate. A slow disintegration process occurs in almost every plant and factory, even those that are properly maintained. These buildings often have decades of reliable service left in them without the need for major retrofits or ‘makeovers.’ Plant Maintenance and Safety Managers will often add in steam traps to the steam lines that run throughout a factory as they notice problems with the quality of steam being produced. Steam experts know that there can be several reasons causing steam to degrade, but it is often a positive step to add steam traps to certain (or all) steam hose stations in a plant.

Likewise, degrading cold water pipes, either inside or directly outside factories might exhibit a build-up of particles over time. SuperKlean cold water and steam Strainers can overcome this issue for very little cost, insuring that water flowing through the facility is cleaner and more pure, with fewer bits of particulates. It is always a plus to start out with excellent water and/or clean steam in a factory or plant, with the least amount of particles and mineralization inside pipes.

SuperKlean’s exceptional hose station products do not require steam traps and steam strainers in many cases. Plant managers often know and keep close track of the quality of steam, hot water, and cold water that flows throughout their facilities, and all the way through their hot water hoses and industrial nozzles. But, if water or steam quality is in question, low-cost SuperKlean steam traps and strainers can provide an easy answer.
