Heating & Drying

Ask for water treatment records and recent inspection certificates, since scale and corrosion inside a boiler are invisible from outside. Check burner service history and confirm the controls meet current standards. Pressure equipment needs a written scheme of examination in service, so factor certification into your commissioning plan.

Add up simultaneous demand at peak: each hose station draws continuously, and washers have rated consumption figures. Storage must bridge the gap between generation rate and peak draw across the cleaning window. Sellers can confirm recovery rates and storage volumes so you can model your window realistically.

For removing bulk rinse water, yes: mechanical blow off strips most surface water at far lower energy cost than evaporation. Heated drying then handles the residual film where complete dryness is required. Many lines combine both, using air first and heat second, which shrinks the heated section considerably.

Drying tunnels need three phase power for fans and heaters, and larger units may use steam or gas heat exchangers instead of electric elements. Extraction for the moist exhaust air matters, since venting it into the room defeats the purpose. Confirm heating medium and connected loads with the seller before planning installation.

Support equipment is exactly where the used market is deepest, because sites upgrade boilers and drying plant while the outgoing units still work well. Live listings from verified sellers let you compare capacity and condition across many machines at once. Enquiries, viewing and negotiation then happen directly between you and the seller.
