Fairhope, Alabama Jun 13, 2018 (Issuewire.com) - When a steam coiled tank is cold, most of the time it is loco-motived to a stationary steam boiler. Works great (if you have a steam boiler, a locomotive, a boiler operator, a boiler operators license, chemical water treatment, a header, hoses, a few valves, and a return line).
We have heard of people carrying their tanks many miles for a "steaming". Now there is an option. North Star Group has worked out arrangements with one of the best hot pressure washer companies in the country. Since the mid-1960's Alkota has made fine hot-water heaters, hot pressure washers, and more. With Alkota making our skids for North Star Group Portable Hot Water Heaters for Tank Cars and ISO containers, taking good care of customers has never been easier.
With Alkota the price value mix gets "just right". At $34,900 we have, we think the best combination of value and price anywhere in the world. A quick look at the two of the specs:
HEATER: Model 760 Water heater with 115 Volt Burner, 700,000 BTU’s with Exhaust Stack
ENGINE: 9.5 HP (or larger, depending on availability) Kohler Diesel Air Cooled Engine
The idea is to load the heavy-duty steel encased cargo trailer with a ready-made skid by Alkota.
Steaming is quick, and if you do a lot of cars it is inexpensive and fast on a per car basis. But, and it is a big "but", if you are in the middle of the proverbial wheat field, the portable hot water heater for ISO containers and rail tank cars might be a great alternative. Pulled by a pickup truck too.
A quick note on cold weather. We understand cold weather. This is why a ceramic heater comes standard as well as a freeze release. When it gets to freezing temps, the device automatically opens and drops the pure water that is in the tank and pipes to the ground.
Designed by North Star. Manufactured in the USA by Alkota. We would say "get them while they are hot", but these heaters are always hot when you want them to be.
