Fully Automatic Electrode Steam Generator for Instant Steam Production
Electrode Steam Generators by Shanti Boilers are produced for industries requiring steam that is clean, instantaneous, and reliable and which do not require conventional fuel-fired boilers.
The Electrode Steam Generators from Shanti Boilers are complete packages in themselves generating steam through electrical energy and are thus perfect for industries requiring smoke-free production, ease of installation, and immediate availability of steam.
The Electrode Steam Generators are packaged units consisting of the boiler, feed water tank, feed pump, control panel, and automation system. Installation, operation, and reliability of operation are assured through this package unit.
These generators are perfect for industries where there is medium steam demand.
What is an Electrode Steam Generator?
Electrode Steam Generator uses electric current to create steam by passing it through water enclosed between electrodes specifically designed for this purpose. Electric resistance of water generates heat, which causes water to change into steam instantly.
There being no process of combustion, this method of steam generation does not involve any smoke or flue gas or soot or ash.
Compact Packaged Design
Shanti Electrode Steam Generators are supplied as fully assembled packaged units that include:
- Steam Generator
- Feed Water Tank
- Feed Pump
- Automatic Control Panel
- Safety Controls
- Heavy-Duty MS Base Frame
The compact footprint allows installation in locations where conventional boiler rooms may not be practical.
Suitable Installation Areas
Fast Installation and Easy Operation
Unlike conventional fuel-fired boilers, Electrode Steam Generators require minimal site preparation. Installation primarily involves connecting:
The packaged design minimizes installation time and reduces civil construction requirements, allowing industries to commission the system quickly.
Fully Automatic Steam Generation
Shanti Electrode Steam Generators feature advanced automatic controls that continuously monitor operating conditions to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable steam production.
The system automatically controls:
- Water level
- Steam pressure
- Feed water operation
- Electrical operation
- Safety shutdown functions
This enables consistent steam generation with minimal operator intervention.
Rapid Steam Generation
One of the biggest advantages of electrode technology is its ability to produce steam almost immediately after startup.
Performance Highlights
This makes the system ideal for intermittent production processes where steam is required on demand.

Key Features
Advantages of Electrode Steam Generators
Clean Steam Generation
Since no fuel is burned, there are no combustion emissions, smoke, fumes, or unpleasant odors. This makes the system suitable for clean industrial environments.
Space Saving Installation
The compact packaged design eliminates the need for large boiler houses and extensive auxiliary equipment.
Reduced Infrastructure
Unlike conventional boilers, there is generally no requirement for:
- Chimneys
- Fuel storage
- Fuel handling systems
- Ash handling equipment
Enhanced Safety
The boiler is inherently safe during dry operating conditions because electrical current cannot flow without water, providing an additional level of operational safety.
Lower Complexity
Automatic controls simplify operation, reducing manual intervention and making day-to-day operation easier.
Applications
Shanti Electrode Steam Generators are ideal for industries requiring clean, reliable steam with relatively low to medium steam demand.
Common applications include:
