Gabel Group: SG 700 & SG 300 HE smart steam boilers

Gabel Group is a historic Italian manufacturer of high-quality household linen, recognized across Europe for its commitment to craftsmanship, product excellence, and environmental responsibility. The company continuously invests in sustainable production and energy-efficient technologies to reduce its environmental footprint while maintaining top-tier quality.

For the group, constant attention to quality at all stages of production and customer relations is one of its core values, as is caring for the environment. For this reason, it has chosen to rethink its production (but also its stores) to increase sustainability.

For the production plants, the use of energy from renewable sources is flanked by a general efficiency improvement of the lines, such as those in Rovellasca and Buglio in Monte, in northern Italy.

The main challenge was to replace thermal oil boilers, installed by us in 1986, which had become too large for the company’s current needs and inefficient as a result of the many technological advances that had occurred.

Therefore, it was deemed appropriate to replace the thermal power plant with more efficient technologies.

With a view to greater sustainability Gabel Group decided to purchase HE Smart version steam generators, specially designed to ensure maximum efficiency, even at high temperatures, and reduce emissions of particulate pollutants.

To further improve the plant, the latter was equipped with the OptiSpark control and management system, being able to simultaneously regulate the supply of different types of fuel.

Thanks to OptiCloud, the remote data collection for boiler monitoring specially modified to show additional machine process data, and the 4.0 infrastructure in which it is embedded, the boiler plant is fully integrated into existing factory systems.

To maximize boiler performance, we equipped Gabel with a smart spray degasser with integrated turret from our sister company Cannon Artes that can eliminate excess oxygen that could cause corrosion of boiler tubes.

Another solution presented was a customized SG 300 fire tube steam generator to respond effectively to any critical issues arising from field requirements.
