Reimers Electra Steam - Blog

Small electric steam generators or boilers are easy to place in a crowded shop or lab area. Reimers has built these models for the jewelry, laboratory, hat steaming, culinary, and clothes markets for decades. A simple water feed and power cord then press the valve to release steam as needed. Look at our front page on our website to see a steam burst.

Larger kilowatt electric boilers are being demanded in places that normally would be served by gas and diesel boilers. Incentives to use electric make the decisions more economical. Often an electric boiler site promotes they are more earth friendly, low carbon to draw attention to their business.

History has shown that Reimers continues to fabricate electric steam boilers that are tops in the industry. The options that are available such as tanks for boiler feed, and tanks for blowdown allow users to have the best efficiency and complete systems available.

Early planning to get replacement and new boilers installed helps make a comfortable project. Reimers has very quick lead times but order now to take advantage of current pricing and not risking longer lead times in the Fall. The smaller boiler is a hot water system, the larger is a steam generator, steam boiler capable of up to 150 psi.

All functioning components are designed to be in sight and accessible. Note the feed pump and valving allows space for tools and examination. The pressure controls are exposed to keep heat minimal and allow adjustment or service. Should any leaks or spilled water occur the drips will not fall upon sensitive electrical parts. The electronics are housed in an opposite cabinet away from possible steam or spray.

Reimers Steam Boilers can be matched to any requirements for steam processing, commercial, laboratories, medical centers, or industrial sites. The boiler or generator is a low profile, small foot print that allows placement where low or high pressure steam needs generated and used. This eliminates losses from unnecessary piping and line sizing efforts.

Reimers builds a series of electric steam boilers having a stainless outer shell that is designed to shed water. Compact to fit in small areas, or even some sterilizer cabinets, these boilers generate adequate steam power for any occasion. Standard options allow up to 100 psi and 600 volts.

The use of electric power for water and steam generation is expanding. Opportunity is growing for larger electric boiler models and demand for small electric boilers has remained strong. There are many developments pulling the demand such as incentives to use electric, a general trend to make green decisions, potential surcharges on fossil fuel usage, and opportunity to avoid costs and appearances of chimneys and fuel tanks.

Electric boilers have quietly (make less noise during operation than fans and blowers on fossil burners) done their work. They meet ASME and UL and CSA requirements for pressure applications and electrical safety. Read on to see other benefits of electric boiler steam generators and electric hot water boilers.
