CERTUSS – Steam Technology since 1957
CERTUSS Dampfautomaten GmbH & Co. KG has been developing and manufacturing industrial rapid steam generators based on the water-tube boiler principle at its Krefeld site since 1957. The product range includes oil- and gas-fired steam generators of the JUNIOR TC and UNIVERSAL TC series with steam outputs from 80 to 2,000 kg/h, the UMX dual-gas steam generator generation (1,500–2,000 kg/h per boiler) as well as electric steam generators of the EMX Generation E (10–320 kg/h, up to 16 bar). By combining several boilers into multiple systems, steam outputs of up to 16,000 kg/h are achieved. The heating coils as the core component are manufactured and tested in the company's own plant; in addition, CERTUSS offers feedwater tanks made of stainless steel 1.4571, water softening and dosing systems, container steam systems, installation, commissioning, maintenance and inspections pursuant to §16 BetrSichV. Customers come from more than 80 industries, including the food and beverage industry, healthcare, chemicals, pharmaceuticals as well as automotive and aerospace. Since 2024 the company has belonged to Japan's Miura Co. Ltd.
