FAMOUS
GREEN
STEAM
BOILER
GETS
EXCLUSIVE
COPPER
MAKEOVER
he famously distinctive
bright green shell of one of
CFB Boilers’ 4VT Steam Boiler
has been transformed with
a copper overskin – and the
result is jaw-dropping. This customised
job was completed at the request of an
equally famous client who is set to launch a
microbrewery in Devon later this year. The
brewery will produce real ale to help pubs
and restaurants meet increasing demand for
the product.
T
Handcrafted at CFB Boilers’ manufacturing facility in Essex, this
exclusive 4VT Steam Boiler underwent an overskin process
using a 12mm copper sheet – the same material that is used by
coppersmiths in the brewing industry on copper tanks, vessels
and pipework – to give the boiler a more traditional look. The
usual bright red burner casing was also exchanged for a more
complementary metallic silver finish. Ready to fire with skid,
the boiler was then sited and installed by CFB Boiler’s in-house
engineers at the client’s microbrewery.
Despite its copper exterior, the 4VT steam boiler still very
much retains its green credentials; it is arguably the most
energy efficient, high performance, reliable, and low
maintenance steam boiler on the market thanks to a number
of class-leading innovations. These include energy-saving four-
pass technology, a 30% larger steam chamber, and integral
heat recovery.
Additionally, the 4VT Steam Boiler boasts a start-up time of
just 10-15 minutes, precise temperature delivery, a compact,
tubeless design, and can be used with gas, oil or LPG.
Fans of the 4VT Steam Boiler’s trademark green colour needn’t
worry though, as Derek Parish, Managing Director of CFB
Boilers, explained: “Clients can request a specific colour or
finish for our boilers and plant rooms. As well as metallic
finishes, we’ve done custom paint jobs in just about every
colour you can imagine to fit in with our client’s branding or
other particular needs. However, most clients absolutely love
the original green and red on our flagship 4VT as it brings a
great pop of colour to the brewery floor.”
CFB Boiler’s 4VT Steam Boiler is available in 12 models from
8- 150HP and is manufactured by the 120-year-old steam
specialist in Britain.
