In food processing industry, boilers are primarily used in the heating, drying, distillation, disinfection, and maturation processes. As a result, steam or hot water provided by a boiler is used in every aspect of the food supply chain from grocery stores to restaurants, making the steam boiler an indispensable part of the food processing industry.

Although steam heat has a variety of uses in the food processing sector, the boilers themselves frequently pose their own difficulties. The majority of food producers don't need full steam constantly; rather, the requirement for steam varies along their production lines throughout the day. However, because most conventional boilers need hours to warm up and cool down, food processing facilities must maintain their boilers running even when there is little demand for steam. Naturally, this has a negative impact on energy efficiency, raises the price of fuel, and in certain states even makes it difficult to meet the requirements for greenhouse gas emissions. Because of this, the steam boiler that the company chooses can significantly affect its productivity and efficiency.
