Soil Steamer

$100.00 / Day

Soil steaming on farms is an emerging technology that is being utilized to manage disease, weeds, and pests in high tunnels. The CCCD now offers the rental of their Sioux Model SF-20 Soil Steamer to local fruit and vegetable growers starting in 2021. The Sioux Steam-Flo® steam generator is a perfect source of low-pressure steam for a variety of weed and disease management, container sterilization, and pollinator site preparation. These industrial steam generators produce from 370-3,450 lbs. (168-1,564 kg) per hour of saturated steam in minutes. Soil Steamer transport includes a trailer and requires a 2 and 5/16 ball hitch for towing. Once set up on site you will need access to a course of water and electricity.
