Gulistan Carpet Uses Multiple Miura Boilers To Save Fuel Costs, Improve Efficiency

摘要

Gulistan Carpet has a long and rich history as a manufacturer of fine carpets. Operating three facilities in North Carolina and employing over 600 people, Gulistan has thrived for over 80 years by emphasizing quality, style, and tradition. So it was no wonder that when faced with the challenge of rising fuel costs at the Wagram facility where the carpets are prepped and dyed, Gulistan purchased six Miura LX-300 boilers, which save fuel, time, and money by producing steam in only five minutes. "We rely on steam for the dyeing process, and with previous steam boilers, we would have to wait at least two hours for steam to be produced," explained Jack Avant, Engineering Manager at Gulistan. "Thisrnresulted in labor inefficiencies and higher fuel costs. With the Miura boilers, we can have steam just a few minutes after startup. Since being installed last September, we estimate that we are saving an average of $24,000 each month on labor and fuel costs. The Miura boilers have significantly improved the efficiency of the Wagram facility."
