The recent purchase and installation of two additional cooking lines -one for pasta and one for sauces-substantially increased the requirement for steam beyond the output of the facility's pre-existing Fulton boilers. To cope with the increased demand and provide steam for direct and indirect use on a variety of cooking and heating processes, Hitchen Foods installed a new Fulton RBC2500 horizontal steam boiler complete with all ancillary equipment.

Fulton's nine-model RBC range of horizontal, wet-back, fire-tube boilers with capacities from 957 to 4,787 kg/h and operating efficiencies in excess of 90% were developed in response to customer demand for higher capacities than the practical maximum of 960 kg/h for the company's vertical range.
