Steam & Condensate Systems

SAM Progetti has developed a revolutionary and proprietary technology that achieves certified significantly higher production capacities compared to our competitors with the same dry levels and cylinder pressure (at least 10% higher) while having much lower specific consumption (at least 15% lower).

All of this is achieved without the need any water condenser, cooling water, vacuum pump, or vent valves: this also reduces machine downtime, maintenance time, maintenance costs, and paper breaks.

This allows us to offer any customer, anywhere in the world, and for any production, with contractual guarantees:

Stable vacuum in all conditions (including paper breaks) up to 9.6 mt
Steam temperature on the first cylinder in all conditions (including paper breaks) of 40°C
Total absence of cooling water
Total absence of cylinder flooding in all conditions (including paper breaks)
Return condensate temperature to the boiler below 100°C
Warm-up times of less than one hour
50% reduction in paper break times
Mechanical and performance guarantees of 2 years, with the possibility of extension.

The latest version of our technology – SAM ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGY – is operational and installed in multiple plants worldwide, available for visits.

The latest and greatest version of our technology, matured from over 40 years of experience, R&D and success stories, integrating the most modern industrial standards. Made by our seven key points that interact with each other and are the heart of most versatile and performing Steam & Condensate system on the market.

Aerothermal and Heat Recovery Systems

Thanks to over 40 years of experience of our team, SAM Progetti has developed a sophisticated system of supplies and products that, combined with our steam plant, achieves certified specific consumption rates as low as 1.25 tons of steam per ton of evaporated water – compared to the best TAPPI standard of 1.45 (-16%).

Our aerothermal system is an integral part of our successful technology and follows the design philosophy that defines us: no compromises on energy savings. Our three-stage recovery system, the absence of live steam batteries, and our revolutionary automatic filtration system ensure a specific consumption and efficiency that are simply unattainable by our competitors.

Moreover, our philosophy on pocket ventilation and the specialized equipment we provide take into account both the dynamic stability of the paper and unconventional moisture removal, resulting in certified improvements of up to 15% in production capacity.

We specialize in:

High-efficiency insulated hoods for continuous machines (55-65 degrees Dew Point), fully walkable, with a quick-access system from the roof for maximum efficiency and speed in routine maintenance and felt changes.
Advanced three-stage aerothermal extraction systems with a dry final stage and energy recovery for hot water.
Air-to-air, air-to-water, and renewal-air-to-exhaust-air heat recovery systems.
Air filtration systems with automatic cleaning.
Forced ventilation systems for paper production.
HVAC systems.

All our components are MADE IN ITALY and MADE IN SWITZERLAND, manufactured in our workshop entirely in stainless steel.
