A prawn in the boiler game
May 1st 2008 As part of a £3.5m expansion
programme Lyons Seafoods has
installed a fully packaged plant
room from Fulton Boiler Works. The
plant room contains two dual-fuel
RBC1250 boilers plus ancillary
equipment, and was manufactured
at Fulton's headquarters in Bristol. It
was delivered to site as three
modular skid mounted packages –
one for each RBC1250 boilers and
one for the ancillary equipment. The
skids were then mounted onto a
prepared concrete base, connected
to site services and covered with a
Quinshield composite housing.
"Our aim is to supply customers
with freshly cooked and chilled
products, rather than frozen," says
Jim King, Lyons chief engineer. The
company's old processing line,
used thermal fluid boilers to supply
hot water via heat exchangers. The
new system will use steam from the
Fulton plant room for the thawing
and cooking process, as well as for
CIP services and hand washing. More articles from Fulton Boilerworks (GB) Ltd: |
