One of our old faithfuls is in the shop!We have been doing these boilers for over thirty years! We usually keep a stock of plates so that we can start working on them as soon as we get the order. There are three different kinds of boilers that we make: small, large, and what are called “constants.” The constants are different because the hardware that gets welded on is put on the tube instead of the top plate, as well as differences in the hole placement. This is a nice job to have because every worker gets a part to do. The machinist drills the plates, our newest welder tacks the plates to the tubes, and our experienced welders take care of the rest! (And the office manager does the paperwork for it, of course!)
