Boiler helps Jakemans breathe more easily
Following an increase in demand for its range of menthol cough sweets, Jakemans (Confectioners), a small family run business, has installed a new oil-fired 20E steam boiler from Fulton Boiler Works.
Boiler claims high operating efficiency
The Pulse Plus boiler claims its many unique features give it advantages over other modern boilers.
Steam from the boiler feeds an open system to heat water for the main conveyor cooker and a closed system for pasteurising and cooking small batches.
It also provides heated water for a box washer.
Commenting on the choice of boiler, Blue Sea Director Richard Chatfield says: "We were originally intending to stagger the purchase and installation of two 30J boilers to anticipate an increase in production, but Fulton was able to offer us a reconditioned unit".
"Fulton boilers were recommended by the father of our managing director who had also used them for his steam supply".
Blue Sea claims that the taste of its shellfish - which is served in many Michelin star restaurants in London - is unique because the company uses only the finest and freshest Devon crab, which is prepared locally at its modern purpose-built facility in Brixham.
Says Chatfield: "We are the only company in the world using a special technique which prepares live shellfish through stunning".
"The technique, is not only humane, but also enhances the meat quality by ensuring that the shellfish remains whole throughout the cooking process".
Thanks to the freshness of the shellfish, the quality of the cooking process and the strict hygiene and cleaning procedures adopted within the facility, Blue Sea's fresh crabmeat has a six day shelf life - far longer than the norm.
The renowned J Series vertical gas and oil fired steam boilers includes eight models covering outputs from 96 to 960kg/h.
Their tubeless design, invented by Fulton, eliminates the coils and tubes traditionally used in steam raising plant and enables the boiler to raise its full steam output in just 20min.
The simple design and robust construction from top quality materials make them ideal for arduous applications in a wide range of industries.
