More efficient and cleaner production with smart steam solutions

  • 13 November 2025

The food industry is facing major changes. Producers want to make their processes more sustainable and efficient but are running into practical limitations. Full electrification of steam systems isn’t always possible due to limited power capacity or insufficient infrastructure. At the same time, stricter environmental regulations are preventing companies from fully utilizing their production capacity.

Scharff Techniek understands these challenges and helps companies take achievable steps toward a more sustainable and efficient way of working.

Hybrid and electric steam systems

With modern electric and hybrid steam boilers, Scharff Techniek offers flexibility to companies that want to move toward sustainability step by step, without compromising on reliability. In a hybrid setup, gas-fired and electric boilers can be used side by side. This allows producers to respond effectively to energy prices, available power capacity, and their sustainability targets — a practical step toward further electrification.

Low emissions, high performance

An important innovation in the product range is the Certuss UMX: a steam boiler that combines low nitrogen emissions with high efficiency. With a NOx emission of less than 8 ppm, this boiler provides a much cleaner combustion process than traditional gas-fired systems, which typically emit around 70 ppm.

The boiler is also designed with a strong focus on ease of use and speed. It heats up in less than five minutes, and the fully modulating control between 20% and 100% allows steam production to be adjusted precisely to the actual demand.

Ready for the future

For companies in the food industry looking to reduce energy consumption, limit emissions, and still rely on dependable steam, Scharff Techniek offers targeted solutions. Whether it’s switching to electric steam, combining energy sources, or optimizing existing installations, together we’ll find the right balance between sustainability, efficiency, and operational continuity.

With more than 40 years of experience in steam technology, Scharff Techniek supports the food industry in its transition toward cleaner and more efficient steam generation.
