70 years design in new RBC horizontal boiler range
Fulton Boiler Works, the leading manufacturer of vertical steam boilers, has applied more than 70 years design experience to produce its nine-model RBC range of horizontal wet back fire tube boilers
And, for co-owners Reza Khoshnam and Raymond Dennis, Fulton was the natural choice for the new boilers.
Macgill's original dry cleaning operation was established in 1997 and used a gas-fired Fulton 30E boiler.
In 2001 a second 30E was purchased to meet demand.
Explaining the move, Khoshnam says: "We had invested a lot in new laundry equipment, which meant the budget for steam boilers was stretched".
"This left us with a choice of good second-hand or reconditioned boilers".
"Although second-hand boilers are widely available, such a purchase is not without risk", explains Fulton's Sales and Marketing Director Gordon Bareham.
"Much like buying a second-hand car, it is easy to make an expensive mistake".
"It is also rare that a used boiler can be seen operating - much like buying a car without the opportunity to even start the engine, let alone take a test drive".
"This means that you will only be able to assess the performance of a second-hand boiler after the expense of its installation and commissioning".
Fortunately for Macgill's, Fulton had two second-hand 50E steam boilers available that were bought-back from the original owner.
Both were only a couple of years old had a known history and, after undergoing a thorough inspection and test at Fulton's factory in Bristol, were shipped to Macgill's new premises.
"Fulton was really helpful and I will have no hesitation in using them again".
"They allowed me to part-exchange one of my existing 30E boilers, which further reduced the overall cost for the new boiler plant", explains Khoshnam.
