PIROBLOC

Target zero accidents

Safety is our main goal. We manufacture our boilers provided under this premise, offering the following solutions:

Detection system undesired flame inside the combustion chamber. Important to detect flame inside the chamber when the burner and pump are stopped. This system greatly reduces the risk of fire in the installation.
Automatic fire extinguishing. By injecting N2, air or steam inside the combustion chamber get control and eradicate the fire. Ideal complement for the detection system undesired flame.
Redundant securities. By the duplication of the temperature measuring elements (chimney, thermal oil) and pressure (high and differential) got safer boiler.

This equipment is available for both new and existing boilers on the market.

Shield your boiler with these solutions and eliminate hazards in your facility. Read More!

Pirobloc has renewed its ISO 9001:2008 certification

Pirobloc has renewed its ISO 9001:2008 certification until 2016.

The past March, the certification company TÜV has audited Pirobloc successfully, thus renewing the certificate ISO 9001:2008 in the field of design, manufacture and marketing of thermal fluid boilers and heat exchangers as well as, for marketing steam boilers.

This certification ensures that Pirobloc:

Plans the production of its products
Maintains constant communication with the client to determine all requirements

The versatility of a manufacturer of thermal oil boilers

The reason for this blog is to inform all of you that our company and its qualification to make engineering studies on improving or streamlining existing thermal oil installations, such as those carried out during 2012 for companies of the French food sector and chemical Belgian sector. The goal is to obtain a performance improvement of your facilities and the energy efficiency through the equipment you already have, being PIROBLOC or other brands, and even from disappeared brands of the market as KONUS.

PIROBLOC offers solutions for the expansion of the actors in any industry, even if they use other brands of thermal fluid boilers. PIROBLOC was pioneer introducing the thermal fluid systems in sectors where steam technology was a feud, such the industrial and hospital laundry.

The long experience in the design of such type of generators and the implementation of thermal fluid facilities enable us to attend to any technical question regarding compliance with the current requirements that the law demands and, on the use of equipment, studio of your initiatives, etc.

The proverb says that we must Adapt or …. or better renew and reinvent. Read More!

How extend the life of your heater

Every manufacturer has its own boiler design. Its technology will make the life of the boiler to be longer or shorter, as well as efficient in reference to the heated circuit.

In addition to its design, other factors also influence in a long life of the thermal oil heater, such as the following:

To use an oil in good working conditions, and thus, in good heat transfer conditions. So, we recommend that you periodically do an analysis of its status. Remember that if you have to change the oil in the facility at the end of its useful life, there are companies in the market whose business is oil free collection and reusing of it.
To know and to pay attention to the alarms and controls of the boiler: it is not an option to by-pass the warnings and / or alarms. In case of alarm, ask the manufacturer of the boiler.
To perform a proper preventive maintenance and annual control of the heater, consisting on the control of the right combustion and the smoke composition, flue gas temperature, working pressures and temperatures, etc.
To control the consumption of the pump and the flow of service as well as, to check the heat transfer fluid leaks.
To check the condition of the insulation body of the boiler and installation of thermal fluid.
To keep clean of soot inside the boiler, pipes and / or exhaust gas grills: A good ventilation of the boiler is essential for its proper functioning.

We hope that these tips will be useful to work in the best conditions for a long time. Read More!

First company in the Spanish sector with quality ASME certification

Pirobloc, a manufacturer company of thermal oil heaters for industrial use, has recently obtained the ASME quality certification (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), while in possession of the quality certification according to ISO 9001: 2008.

The first step to reach the certification (as said in the previous blog), is to decide which of our processes you would like to certify under such standard of quality, since the ASME classifies equipment or products in Sections and Divisions, finally granting:

a metal Stamp, to be used to mark with a letter the technical nameplate contained in products manufactured under the chosen design code, which can be "R", "S", "U", etc... , and
a Certificate of authorization to manufacture under the corresponding design code.

So, to buy a boiler manufactured according to ASME stamp, involves the certification of the following qualities:

Manufacturing under the standards of the "x" design code
A qualified and certified staff to carry out the work
The traceability of the materials used in the manufacture of the product subject to certification
The realization of non-destructive tests during the manufacturing of the stamped products
Registration of non-conformities
Monitoring of standards during the manufacturing processes
