Re: 6kW Steel Drum Pasteurizer Build [Re: Puma]

Gave the pasteurizer it's first run with straw yesterday, going for round two today.

I was able to fit over 1/2 of a square bale of straw in the thing. This means I'll get three 3' straw logs per run. I loaded it up with straw, squirted in some soap, filled it up with cold water and let it soak for 2 hours.

After it was done pasteurizing and draining the straw seemed a little on the dry side, maybe because it was packed to tight? For round two I gave it a soak overnight (~12 hours) with room temperature water and no soap, hopefully it hydrates better.

To pasteurize I first poured in four 5 gallon buckets with 80°C (176°F) water and half a cup of hydrated lime each. The remainder was filled with plain hot water. Once full the temperature was 55°C (130°F). It took 20 minutes to bring the temperature up to 60°C (140°F). Once the pasteurizer reached 70°C (160°F) the elements shut off and didn't have to come on again.

After the pasteurization cycle the drum was drained and the straw left to drip for a couple of hours. Once the temperature dropped enough to be handled the straw was transfered to two 50 gallon Rubbermaids to cool overnight.
