PLASTIC OMNIUM INSTALLS BABCOCK WANSON THERMAL FLUID HEATERS AT NEW UK SITE
Plastic Omnium, a manufacturer of plastic parts for the automotive industry, has installed two Babcock Wanson Thermal Fluid Heaters in its new factory in Birmingham.
The Babcock Wanson TPC600LN Low NOx emission heaters are being used by Plastic Omnium in the production of parts for the new Range Rover Evoque. The thermal fluid heaters heat the compression moulding press tools to 220°C, enabling the Special Compound to be moulded to the correct shape.
The TPC Series are fully automatic coil type, multi-pass thermal fluid heaters complete with integrated burner, control system and safety devices. They provide optimal distribution of the heat exchange, high fluid velocity and specialist flow control for long fluid life and the highest safety; all this coupled to very low emissions and low running costs.
The TPC600LN used at Plastic Omnium are fired on natural gas and have been supplied by Babcock Wanson with a special process fluid mixing vessel to ensure a common flow temperature to the production machines, irrespective of the number of machines or heaters on-line at any one time. They were specified by Plastic Omnium for the new UK site based on Babcock Wanson’s reputation for quality product and a professional service. Dave Scrivens, Facilities Manager at Plastic Omnium, comments: “Babcock Wanson’s expertise and ability to provide a whole package made them the leading contender for this project. On further investigation, their proposal was also commercially viable, which sealed the deal.”
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.
