Electric steam boiler range improved
Fulton has made major changes to its electric steam boiler range.
In late 2001 Jakemans enlarged its operation by opening a new factory on the outskirts of Boston, from which it now supplies a network of wholesale, cash and carry and multiple store operations throughout the UK.
Due to the costs involved in setting up the new factory, Jakemans elected to purchase a second-hand Fulton steam boiler but, following several very successful months trading from the new factory, Managing Director Stan Greensmith made the decision to upgrade the steam operation.
A new oil-fired 20E boiler was purchased and the existing second-hand unit was re-installed to act as a back up.
The oil-fired 20E boiler is installed to run Jakemans' steam cookers during the production process.
The 'batch', an original recipe formulation containing a 56kg mixture of sugar and glucose, is heated to 135C prior to flavourings such as menthol and eucalyptus being added.
Commenting on the new steam setup, Greensmith says: "Fulton were specified based on our experience of their boilers.
They are easy to use and reliable, backed by a strong after sales team with an in-depth knowledgeable of both products and steam systems as a whole".
