World beating energy solutions can also come in smaller packages
28 June 2017
Cochran boilers are globally renowned for their quality, reliability and durability and are especially well-respected for medium to large steam outputs... But did you know that Cochran boilers are also available in production capacities as low as 455kg per hour?

If you are involved in food and drink manufacturing, laundry services, healthcare, hospitality, or you’re a boutique brewer or craft distiller, you too can benefit from Cochran’s unbeatable Scottish-built quality, efficiency and reliability... And they cost less than you’d expect.
Boilers by Appointment
Smaller outputs are particularly attractive for the brewing and distilling industries where large volumes of steam and hot water are required for heating, cleaning and fermenting. In fact, Cochran are already the boiler of choice for many of the world’s top whisky brands, so smaller ‘boutique’ distillers and craft breweries are safe in the knowledge they’re choosing a proven solution to their needs. Numerous leading professional laundries, hotels and resorts, schools, colleges and hospitals across the UK also utilise Cochran units, such as the compact Borderer, in outputs ranging from as little as 455kg/hr up to 6,000kg/hr. These smaller capacity boilers help maximise efficiency through reduced operating costs by matching optimum output to actual requirement, whether utilised as a primary boiler, or as a backup during peak demand. Numerous other pharmaceutical, leisure, farming, food and drink manufacturing, processing and packaging businesses also benefit from reliable, cost effective steam and energy provision delivered by a Cochran boiler.
Improving Efficiency
While Cochran boilers are famed for their efficiency, the use of Economisers to recover exhaust gas heat for in use in pre- heating boiler feed water improves the system’s thermal efficiency significantly, delivering fuel cost savings of 5%+. Heat recovery units are also valuable contributors to cost reduction in operations generating waste process or exhaust heat. The large diesel engines and generators, furnaces, kilns and ovens frequently used by manufacturers and processing businesses can all be harnessed to generate ‘free’ energy. This can be returned to the process or sold-on to nearby users, such as schools, housing estates, healthcare facilities or cattle or poultry sheds.
Cochran Hire
When businesses require additional steam output, or simply wish to avoid front-loaded capital expenditure, Cochran’s containerised ‘plug and play’ Boiler Hire is ideal to meet short or long term peak flow, or breakdown or service shutdown requirements. Boiler skid and packaged ancillary skid unit options are also available.
