Adhesive manufacturer expands Thermal Fluid Heaters to increase temperature control
Beardow Adams has expanded its Babcock Wanson Thermal Fluid Heaters to seven at its site in Milton Keynes, which is home to Europe’s largest single hot melt adhesive plant.
Beardow Adams hot melt adhesives are trusted by more than 10,000 manufacturers and are used in demanding packaging, labelling, woodworking, product assembly, bookbinding and converting industry applications.
Manufacturing of such a wide range of adhesives requires a number of production lines, each with its own a controllable heat source. Babcock Wanson Thermal Fluid Heaters not only provide the heat for the lines but, with the aid of the Babcock Wanson Application Engineering Team, unique temperature control, even when two lines are fed from the same heater.
Babcock Wanson Thermal Fluid Heaters are fully automatic coil type, multi-pass heaters complete with integrated burner, control system and safety devices. They provide optimal distribution of the heat, high fluid velocity in the exchange tubes and continuous flow monitoring to ensure long fluid life and the highest level of safety. The system precisely matches fuel input to plant energy requirements for high efficiency. With lower energy input demand also comes lower total exhaust emissions, so there are also environmental benefits.
Beardow Adams uses Babcock Wanson Thermal Fluid Heaters for their heating efficiency in the manufacturing process and because, as Jeff Farey, Maintenance Manager states: “Babcock Wanson heaters have proved reliable throughout our company”. But it’s not just about the product according to Jeff: “Babcock Wanson has always given good service”; probably one of the reasons the two companies have enjoyed a working relationship of more than 20 years!
Babcock Wanson offers a complete range of products and services for boiler houses and other process heating needs, from steam boilers, thermal fluid heaters, rapid steam generators and hot water boilers to VOC and odour treatment by thermal oxidation, water treatment or process air heating solutions. The company aims to help optimise customer’s energy production with high quality products and efficient service.
