Steam Boilers for Breweries and Artisan Food Manufacturers

Efficient, Sustainable Heat for Craft and Culinary Excellence

In Australia’s booming craft brewing and artisan food scene, steam is often at the heart of production. As a result, steam boilers play a vital role in ensuring consistent quality and performance, powering everything from brewing and pasteurising to baking and sterilising equipment. From brewing the perfect craft beer to pasteurising sauces, baking, or sterilising equipment, steam boilers are used by producers every day.

But not all boilers are the same, and therefore, choosing the right one for your process can make all the difference.
At Tomlinson Energy Service, we specialise in helping breweries, distilleries, and food manufacturers find the perfect steam solution. From compact electric boiler models for boutique producers to high-efficiency industrial systems for large-scale facilities, our team of engineers can determine the right boiler for your needs.

Why Steam Boilers Matter in Breweries, Food and Beverage Production

Steam is one of the most versatile heat sources available. For example, in brewing and food manufacturing, it is used for:

• Mashing and brewing in beer production
• Cooking, pasteurisation, and sterilisation in food processing
• CIP (clean-in-place) cleaning systems
• Humidity and temperature control in bakeries and packaging
• Heating and sanitation in dairy and beverage operations

Steam boilers provide high, consistent temperatures, precise temperature control, and clean energy, critical for maintaining production timeframes, quality, and hygiene.

Steam Boilers for Breweries and Food Manufacturers – What to Consider

In Australia’s booming craft brewing and artisan food scene, steam boilers for breweries and food manufacturers are essential for consistent, reliable heat. When selecting a steam boiler for a food or beverage facility, consider these key factors:

1. Efficiency, Space and Sustainability

• With energy costs on the rise and floor space often an issue, electric steam boilers can be a great option.
• Electric boilers have a smaller footprint and deliver up to 99.5% thermal efficiency with zero on-site emissions, ideal for urban, indoor installations.
• Electric boilers also do not require fluing to atmosphere, therefore, their installation much more straightforward than gas or diesel fired equivalents.

2. Compliance

All Tomlinson steam boilers are fully compliant with Australian Standards ensuring you maintain both safety and certification.
