54 | ENGINEERING Kelford Engineering Boiler experts in demand from page 53 This service can be crucial for time-critical repairs, especially when a customer’s boiler system is at the central to their operation. A hire service is available for fully self-contained boilers in a 20 foot container which can provide either hot water or steam. “We can provide turnkey installation; startup services, operator training, and support. That part of the business has grown dramatically,” Steve says. Kelford Electric Steam Boilers are self-contained with integrated feed-water and blowdown tanks and do not generally require any ancillary equipment as with other electric steam boilers. They are available in four models are rated from 150 to 600 kilowatts, are extremely efficient, compact and require no venting. “Our boilers are renowned for convenient use, simple operation, are economical and support a wide variety of applications.” Steam is discharged directly from the electric boiler for a quick, efficient operation and models can be modified to fit individual situations where needed. Kelford Electric Steam Boilers are safety and seismic compliant with New Zealand regulations and feature an inherently safe no-water, no-current draw design. All panels are aluminium and frames stainless steel which makes them perfect for clean environments such as food manufacturing and laboratories; one brewery has made their shiny boiler a showcase of the business. Designing and manufacturing Kelford’s own boilers was precipitated by the Christchurch earthquakes when a business had to move premises and needed a modern, efficient system, Steve says. “What we did was we looked at the faults of the old boilers that were available and designed a new one without those faults with new technology. That’s how that started.” That first boiler has performed flawlessly since it was installed 10 years ago for an extremely pleased client. Kelford Engineering is the only authorised distributor of Parat boiler technology in New Zealand. Parat high pressure boilers can contribute to reduction of nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide emissions for large industrial companies by replacing fossil fuel-fired boilers with clean electrical steam production of up to 85 bar gauge design pressure. The electrode boiler is available in hot water or steam versions. They can heat from cold to full load in less than five minutes and from minimum to full load in just 30 seconds. Parat has also developed a new solution to guarantee zero-load during standby. Kelford’s own boilers and the electrode boilers fit well with the trend towards more efficient systems which do not use fossil fuels, Nic says. “A lot of governmental departments have got very early, set dates for their requirements to be implemented. “A lot of hospitals and universities are showing a lot of interest already.” “Our boilers are renowned for convenient use, simple operation, are economical and support a wide variety of applications.” Bartlett Electrical proudly supports Kelford Engineering Ltd • Pipe • Buttweld Pipe Fittings • Threaded Pipe Fittings • Ball Valves • Architectural Tube • Dairy Tube • Dairy Fittings • Tube Fittings • Bar • Sheet Proud to support Steve and the team at Kelford Engineering In conjunction with Viking Conveyor Anchor Belts can supply and install a large range of conveyor belting and associated products, eg.
