Higher quality through industry leading

quality assurance methods

Quality control by X-ray is part of our boiler production
process. Our constantly high welding quality is con-
firmed on around 25,000 developed films per year. Our
trained staff can check, evaluate and document weld-
seams at any time during operation. Going beyond the
standard quality requirements up to 100 percent of a
boiler’s weldseams are X-rayed. This also includes even
our biggest boilers. In addition, we conduct ultrasonic
tests, dye penetrant tests, magnetic particle tests and
hydraulic pressure tests for our pressure vessels. Our
high quality standards of course apply also to the
production of our control cabinets. Every single of our
controls is completely pre-configured and all function-
alities are tested in a simulated boiler house. This
ensures the highest quality of these customized prod-
ucts and allows fast and flawless commissioning.
