Steam boilers are supplied skid-mounted

Three skid mounted steam boiler packages further increase steam raising capacity for bottling and packaging applications for a United Arab Emirates beverage and filling plant.

Fulton Boiler Works (GB) has designed and supplied three skid mounted steam boiler packages for Sharjah-based International Beverage and Filling Industries (IBFI), a company producing 'Star' branded fruit juices and carbonated soft drinks in the United Arab Emirates.

The skid mounted packages, which were prefabricated in Fulton's Bristol factory and shipped to Sharjah for commissioning by Fulton's UK service manager Steve Robinson, comprises a complex flue system and three 60J oil-fired vertical boilers.

The new systems further increase steam raising capacity for bottling and packaging applications at IBFI's existing plant, which has been using two Fulton 60E boilers for over twenty-seven years.

Steam from the skid packages is being used in the company's hot CIP system; the CSD line for the can/bottle warmer; and for three flash pasteurisers for each of the company's three juice filling lines.

Commenting for IBFI, plant manager Joseph Thomas said: "We needed to increase the capacity of the existing steam plant and because the original 60E boilers have proved so reliable, we had no hesitation in using Fulton again.

We originally contacted them with the intention of purchasing just boilers, but after several meetings in which we discussed the application and design requirements, we decided to order complete packaged skid mounted systems." He added that Fulton's spares availability, attention to detail and technical advice is second to none; and because of this he has recommended them to another company within the group.
