In March 2024, EPCB boiler successfully provided a complete biomass steam boiler system solution for a large coffee production factory in Indonesia. This customer is located in East Java, Indonesia, and is one of the local important coffee processing enterprises. Its products are not only supplied to the local market, but also exported to many international markets, which has strict requirements on production stability and energy cost control.
In the process of coffee processing, no matter the roasting, extraction, concentration or drying of raw materials, it is highly dependent on stable and high-quality steam supply. Once the steam pressure fluctuates or the steam supply is unstable, it will directly affect the product flavor consistency and production efficiency. Therefore, the enterprise is eager to upgrade the original boiler system while expanding its production capacity.
Client Challenge: Energy Consumption Pressures and Steam Stability Issues
In the initial communication of the project, the customer clearly put forward several core problems in the current production:
Unstable steam supply: the original equipment is old, and pressure fluctuation occurs frequently during operation, which affects the continuity of production.
High fuel cost: The use cost of traditional fuels continues to rise, increasing the operating burden of enterprises.
Low energy efficiency: the boiler has insufficient thermal efficiency and low energy utilization rate.
Increased pressure on environmental protection: With the tightening of local environmental protection policies, enterprises need cleaner energy solutions.
High maintenance cost: the equipment is low in automation, dependent on manual operation and complicated in maintenance.
In this context, customers began to look for more efficient, stable and environmentally friendly steam solution suppliers around the world.
Customized Solutions: EPCB Develops Efficient, Integrated System Solutions
After in-depth understanding of customer's process requirements, fuel conditions and site layout, EPCB engineering team tailored a complete boiler system scheme for customers.
This project selects a horizontal chain grate biomass steam boiler with rated evaporation capacity of 6 tons/hour, which is specially designed for medium and large-scale industrial continuous production scenes, especially suitable for coffee, food processing and other industries that require high steam stability.
Core configuration and technical highlights include:
1. Efficient combustion system
Equipped with high temperature resistant chain grate, it has excellent wear resistance and high temperature resistance.
Structural design of biomass special furnace ensures full combustion of fuel.
Adapt to a variety of biomass fuels, such as sawdust, coffee shells, crop waste, etc.
2. High thermal efficiency design
By optimizing the flue gas flow and heating surface layout, the thermal efficiency is over 85%.
Effectively reduce fuel consumption and energy waste.
3. Intelligent PLC control system
One-button start and stop, automatic operation.
Real-time monitoring of key parameters such as water level, pressure and temperature.
Automatic alarm and interlock protection to improve operation safety.
4. Multiple security protection mechanisms
Overpressure protection.
Low water level interlock.
Flameout protection.
Fault automatic shutdown.
5. Stable steam supply capacity
Double drum structure improves steam storage and buffering capacity.
Ensure continuous and stable steam supply for 24 hours.
This scheme not only meets the current production needs of customers, but also reserves space for future capacity expansion.
Drive Forward Efficiently to Ensure Smooth Implementation of Project
In the project implementation stage, EPCB boiler shows strong project management ability and global service ability. At the beginning of the project, the team conducted several rounds of in-depth technical communication and scheme optimization with customers and local partners to ensure that the boiler system design was highly matched with the actual working conditions, which laid a solid foundation for the smooth progress of the project.
In business and delivery, EPCB provides one-stop service covering the whole process. From contract signing, equipment manufacturing, export customs declaration and international shipping logistics, it is efficiently promoted by professional teams, which effectively reduces the communication cost and project risk of customers.
In the installation and implementation stage, the local partner of EPCB Indonesia is responsible for the on-site installation of the project, and EPCB simultaneously provides remote technical guidance and standardized document support to ensure the construction specifications and system quality. At the same time, the team of engineers assisted in system debugging, and conducted systematic training for customer operators to improve the safety and stability of later operation.
In addition, EPCB also assists customers to complete the local boiler use certificate and related compliance certification process. The whole project has a short period from delivery to installation completion, efficient implementation and one-time acceptance, which significantly improves customer satisfaction and project value.
Operation Effect: Energy Saving, Cost Reduction, Stability and Reliability
After the equipment was put into operation, the boiler system showed excellent operation performance. The steam output of the system is stable, which can continuously meet the demand of steam continuity in the whole process of coffee production and ensure the efficient and stable operation of the production line.
In terms of energy utilization, the overall thermal efficiency of the boiler is significantly improved, and the fuel utilization rate is greatly improved compared with the original system. At the same time, by making full use of local biomass resources, customers have effectively reduced energy costs and achieved the goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
In addition, the automation level of the system is obviously improved, which reduces manual intervention and operation and maintenance costs. The use of biomass fuel also makes the boiler have good environmental performance, realize low-carbon emission, and meet the requirements of local environmental protection policies.
Customers spoke highly of this project: "EPCB not only provides high-performance equipment, but also provides a complete set of reliable energy solutions. From design to operation, every link reflects professionalism and responsibility. "
Highly Acclaimed by Clients: Creating a Benchmark Demonstration Project in East Java
With stable operation performance and excellent service experience, the project has become an important demonstration project of EPCB in East Java, Indonesia. The customer not only highly recognized the equipment performance, but also was deeply impressed by the professional performance of EPCB boiler in the whole process of the project.
On the service level, EPCB boiler shows rapid response, professional technical support and efficient project execution ability, and the perfect service system effectively guarantees the smooth landing and long-term stable operation of the project. This comprehensive ability from equipment to service has further enhanced customer trust and cooperation confidence.
This case also laid a solid foundation for the continuous expansion of EPCB boiler in Indonesia and the whole Southeast Asian market, and demonstrated its brand strength and market competitiveness as an industrial boiler system solution provider.
Conclusion
The cooperation with Indonesian coffee factory is not only a successful project delivery, but also a powerful manifestation of EPCB's continuous deep cultivation in the global market.
EPCB boiler always adheres to the customer demand as the core, and provides customers with stable, efficient and environmentally friendly industrial thermal energy solutions through professional technical capabilities and perfect service system.
