BFS INDUSTRIES: THE LEADER IN HIGH PERFORMANCE BOILER ROOM EQUIPMENT

Icon Boiler is proud to partner with a long list of industry leading professionals. This allows us to provide our mission-critical customers with the best equipment and systems in the marketplace. From our efforts in 2022, Icon Boiler has recently been recognized as BFS Industries #2 Sales Representative for sales in our territories in North and South Carolina.

BFS Industries, LLC manufactures a complete line of Boiler Room Auxiliary Equipment, such as Deaerators, Surge/transfer systems, and boiler feed and condensate systems. Icon Boiler has been a BFS Industries partner since 2020. Myron Burnett, General Manager for Icon Boiler, states “We are pleased with how Icon Boiler’s partnerships continue to strengthen every year. BFS Industries has always been a valued partner of ours, and we are happy to see our success in this year’s final sales numbers.”

Tom Garbarino, President of BFS Industries, commented; “BFS is proud to be represented by such a fine organization in our home state.  Although Icon Boiler has only been our representative for a short period of time, they have done an outstanding job learning the product line, generating sales leads, and closing a lot of business.  We value the relationships that we have with our representatives, many of which span 30, 40, and 50+ years.  Based on their early success, we expect Icon Boiler to be one of BFS’ top representatives for many years to come.”      

We are proud of our Icon Boiler Associates, both in the office and in the field, for making this achievement possible for not only BFS Industries but for surpassing 2022 quotas for other strategic partners as well. Looking forward to Icon Boiler’s continued success in 2023!

ABOUT OUR CUSTOMER

McCall Farms cans vegetables under several different brands, distributing in the Southeastern US and throughout the country. The vegetables come from McCall’s own farms and from a number of carefully selected farming partners throughout the region. Every vegetable at McCall’s Farms goes from harvest to can within 12 hours, and often less. Their industrial boilers are an integral part of production and ensuring those vegetables get canned while they are fresh.

CHALLENGES

McCall Farms powers part of their canning operations with boiler-generated steam. Their boiler system includes two Johnston 1,600 horsepower, two-pass boilers, one Johnston 1,500, four-pass horsepower boiler, and a Johnston 1,000 horsepower boiler. The boilers had reached a point, mostly because of age and out dated control systems, where they were down several times a week, severely impacting production. The expert team at Icon Boiler also pointed out to McCall Farms that upgrading the boiler controls would decrease fuel consumption and reduce emissions.

RESULTS

Brandon Berry, McCall Farms’ Utility Manager, reports that since the installation of the MK8, McCall Farms has gone from multiple boiler failures each week to only a few minimal errors. Even better, the Autoflame MK8 provides them with information so that they can better determine the cause of the errors and correct them. Additional benefits of the MK8 installation include:

“The MK8 substantially increases the lifespan of the boilers,” added Jason Davis of Icon Boiler. “The operator has a lot more data to look at, better control of the water level, and a greater ability to troubleshoot. This upgraded system at McCall Farms means they will get a lot more life from their boilers.” Berry explains that McCall Farms employs a dual-fuel system utilizing natural gas as the primary fuel source and oil as a back-up. The Autoflame unit is an ideal answer to their boiler needs because the MK8 is designed to work with these dual systems. Berry added that McCall Farms is looking forward to upgrading the remaining boilers with Autoflame controls in the near future
