Firetube boilers supplied in 60 years

Engineered to be more efficient, more economical, more eco-friendly.

From tough conditions in the mining industry to mission critical operations in hospitals, our boilers are designed and built to perform for a lifetime. Our business is based on internationally competitive technology, price and delivery. We provide the full spectrum of products and services to our customers in South Africa and many export markets.



Package Boilers


During the past 60 years we have supplied over 4 000 firetube boilers to customers in many industries in Africa, Europe, South-East Asia, the Middle East, South America and Australia.

All of our boilers now incorporate spiral-tube technology, developed in our test centre. This enhances thermal efficiency and reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The boilers are designed and manufactured in compliance with the latest international standard, EN12953.

An Approved Inspection Authority inspects and certifies each piece of equipment before dispatch.
