Based on application, food and beverage dominated the market with an active share of 32.6% in 2022 and anticipated to achieve a fastest growth rate with a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. Boilers play a critical role in food processing by heating, sterilizing, and pasteurizing food and beverages. They are also vital in producing steam, which is necessary for cooking, drying, and other food processing activities. Boilers are typically large structures equipped with a stack that generates hot water vapor using steam boilers. The furnace, burner, combustion chamber, and control system are some of the components of a boiler. The furnace is responsible for fuel combustion and steam creation. The burner ignites fuel and controls air and gas flow. The combustion chamber burns the fuel effectively, and the control system governs the furnace and burner operation while monitoring steam temperature and pressure.
Steam boilers are used for cooking, drying, and sterilizing food and beverages. The furnace combusts fuel to generate steam, which is piped through a stack and used in food processing facilities. Steam also produces hot water vapor used for sanitizing surfaces, equipment, and utensils. Boilers are essential in the food processing industry, generating steam necessary for food product processing, packaging, and storage. They also heat liquids and produce hot air for drying and cooling food products. Additionally, boilers create steam generators that power machinery used in food processing.
