Keep Your Concrete Plant Fully Operational During Winter

Steam is commonly used to accelerate the curing of concrete products at precast plants and for heating aggregates and limited amounts of water at both ready mix and precast concrete plants. FESCO Direct offers cost-effective, high-performance steam generators from Sioux® that outperform conventional boilers and are ideally suited for small to mid-sized concrete producers, as well as larger operations.

Sioux Aggre-Flo Aggregate Bin Heater

The Aggre-Flo forced air aggregate heating system is designed to heat fine and coarse aggregates to mitigate ice and frozen chunks over winter months. The whole bin is heated to a constant temperature with dry heat that brings no extra moisture into the aggregate. Concrete producers can keep aggregates flowing from bins and get 100% consistent batch quality even through the coldest months.

This forced air aggregate heater lives up to the Sioux reputation and delivers on its promise to keep aggregates flowing through the winter.

Steam-Flo® Steam Generators

Steam-Flo® steam generators are a great alternative to conventional boilers. These units provide a continuous flow of unlimited low-pressure steam, are easy to operate and require only minimal maintenance. 

If you are looking for a low cost, proven system for aggregate heating, you can’t do better than Steam-Flo. These generators have been manufactured since 1939 and have proven themselves in thousands of concrete operations worldwide.

Benefits of Heating Aggregate with Steam 

• Smaller. lighter and much more efficient than single pass designs, saves space and reduces operating costs.
• Power gas burners provide a consistent burn, will save fuel and have lower emissions.
• Water is flash heated to steam and forced through the distribution pipes using the naturally occurring pressure of steam.
• Steam heating systems are a fraction of the upfront cost of other over-engineered heating systems.
