Steam Boilers for the Automotive INDUSTRY
Steam is an Integral Part of the Automotive Industry.

Not, as old sci-fi books would suggest, as a method of propulsion but in nearly every facet of manufacturing steam is there. Steel fabrication, injection molding, rubber vulcanizing and even upholstery fabrications make use of high- and low-pressure steam solutions. For large-scale automotive manufacturing operations, steam is often required for sterilization, vulcanization, and other manufacturing processes that require fluctuating load demands. Miura’s flexible steam solutions are perfect steam boilers for the automotive industry.

Canada is in the top 12 auto producing countries globally, with five global OEMs assembling more than 1.4 million vehicles at their Canadian plants each year. Industry giants have well-established supply chains and facilities in Canada. With over 700 parts suppliers and over 100,000 people employed in the industry nationwide, there is ample need for heat and steam across the industry.

In large-scale automotive manufacturing steam is often required with fluctuating load demands in all aspects of the industry whether heating tools for parts manufacturing, tire retreading, the application of coatings or the use of carbon fibres. Miura’s low NOx boilers also play a part in helping automotive manufacturers hit and maintain their sustainability goals.

Miura’s Modular Boiler Systems are Optimal for the Auto Industry

Miura’s modular design is a key to manufacturing success. Modular steam boiler systems, like Miura’s MI Systems, where multiple smaller boilers work together as a single-boiler system with one master controller are just as powerful as conventional boiler systems. While offering the added benefit of improved efficiency, a smaller footprint, lower utility costs, longer equipment life, and easy maintenance. They are ideal for handling fluctuating load demands, which in turn, leads to optimized efficiency and performance for large-scale manufacturing facilities.

Steam in Tire Manufacturing and Rubber Vulcanization

A reliable source of steam is key for tire manufacturing facilities, both for retreading and curing/vulcanization. The vulcanization and curing process for producing high-performance tires is a precise one whether you’re producing standard inner-tube tires or tubeless steel belt radials. Steam heat is used to raise the temperature of the ‘green tire’ in its mold to harden the rubber during the final stage. This process must be precise to maintain quality control and a reliable steam boiler is needed to keep up with the demands of this process. A boiler failure would cause costly downtime.
