Process Equipment -
Boiler Technology Division

In 1995, Weigel Engineering merged with and became a division of Process Equipment. The combination of these two companies provides an increase in scope capabilities with dust collector, fan and material handling expertise provided by Process Equipment and boiler design knowledge provided by Weigel Engineering.

Since its inception, it has specialized in pressure part changes to existing boilers. The company installed the waterwalls on Detroit Stoker Company's first traveling grate spreader stoker at Iowa State University in 1938. The company also installed Detroit Stoker Company's first Vibragrate Stoker, as well as the first Detroit water cooled Hydrograte Stoker firing wood waste.

Detailed shop drawings of new materials are created in-house and the fabrication of materials is performed by Process Equipment or contracted. Headers are made by companies in possession of the proper A.S.M.E. code stamps such as Lucey Boiler or ABB-Combustion Engineering. Bent tubes are purchased from Metro Boiler Tube Company, Boiler Tube Company of America, Jack Heckman Tube Company and others.

The Boiler Technology Division is a flexible company that strives to meet the specific needs of its customers. Engineering projects include consulting, engineering or detailed design. For a boiler retrofit project, it may provide engineering services only, engineering and material, or engineering, materials and construction. All labor is subcontracted or performed by a sister company, National Boiler Service, Inc. This arrangement offers the flexibility of handling projects on a union or non-union basis.
