That's usually done via direct fired MLTs or HERMS systems.

If you want to do a step mash without that, you would either need to do an infusion of water to the next step, or a decoction.

For infusion mashing, you can do the protein rest really thick (say 1 quart/pound) and then do the saccarification rest at 1.50 or 1.75 quarts/pound depending on the temperatures.
