Sampor Styropor Prefers 3.5 tons/hour Hybrid Type Steam Boiler

Sampor Styropor in Samsun preferred a hybrid type steam boiler with a capacity of 3.5 tons/hour, 8 bar pressure rotary grate and water tube for its steam needs in styrofoam production.

Steam is the main input in the production of expanded polystyrene (EPS), known as Styrofoam. The raw material beads are first pre-expanded with steam, and after resting, they are inflated with steam again in molds and turned into blocks, sheets or shaped pieces. In this process, the supply of steam in a short time and at stable pressure directly affects the product quality.

The hybrid type boiler combines the Scotch type three-pass body at the top with a water-tube radiation field at the bottom in a single structure. Thus, the Scotch type’s advantage of large water volume and steam storage is combined with the rapid steam production of the water-tube structure; this feature is suitable for molding processes where heavy steam is drawn in short intervals. The rotary grate at the bottom automatically feeds the coal and biomass, drains the ash by itself.
