Industrial Boiler, Heater & Chiller Hire
A leading UK food manufacturer, supplying meals to hospitals and healthcare providers, faced a challenge during a planned plant room refurbishment. With hot water essential to daily operations — from cooking to cleaning and hygiene — downtime had to be avoided.
Ideal Heat Solutions was tasked with supplying and installing a temporary boiler hire solution that would keep production running at full capacity, ensuring meals for the NHS were not disrupted.
We acted quickly and methodically to deliver a tailored boiler hire solution that met the site’s unique needs.
Our engineers carried out a pre-installation site survey to assess:
-The plant room layout and access restrictions.
-Connection points for integration with the existing system.
-Hot water demand required to sustain food production and hygiene.
This ensured we delivered the most effective system with minimal disruption.
We dispatched and delivered specialist equipment to site, including:
-300kW Slimline Gas Boiler – Providing reliable high-output hot water.
-250kW Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) – Allowing seamless system separation and safe integration.
-Stainless Steel Braided Hosework – Ensuring durable, leak-free connections.
All equipment was configured in advance for fast setup.
The temporary boiler was installed externally, with the plate heat exchanger connected to the client’s system.
-120m of stainless steel braided hosework was used to create secure connections.
-The system was pressure tested, commissioned, and fully operational within hours.
-Integration was carried out while production continued, ensuring zero downtime.
The temporary plant delivered continuous hot water throughout the refurbishment, with stable system performance monitored closely by our engineers.
All equipment was chosen to deliver efficiency, safety, and reliability:
-250kW Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) – Enabling system separation and safe integration.
-Stainless Steel Braided Hosework – Durable, flexible, and safe for food production environments.
