ZOZEN Boiler Expands African Footprint: High-Efficiency Coal-Fired Steam Boiler Dispatched to Zimbabwe

03 Mar 2026

Recently, at the modern production base of Wuxi ZOZEN Boiler Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "ZOZEN Boiler"), a set of SZL series coal-fired steam boiler has completed strict quality inspection and packaging processes and was officially loaded for shipment to Zimbabwe. As an export-oriented boiler manufacturer, ZOZEN Boiler's cooperation with a well-known Zimbabwean paper enterprise is not only a reflection of "Made in China" deepening its presence in the African market but also a testament to ZOZEN Boiler's ability to serve the overseas waste paper recycling and packaging manufacturing industry with customized solutions.

 

Deepening Presence in the African Market, Meeting Zimbabwe's Paper Industry Needs

As an important industrial country in Southern Africa, Zimbabwe has been actively promoting the recovery and development of its local manufacturing industry in recent years. The partner for this project is a local enterprise focused on waste paper recycling and reuse. Its production line is mainly responsible for processing recycled waste paper into cardboard and various packaging products, forming a vital part of the local circular economy.

 

In the paper industry, the steam boiler is regarded as the "heart" of the production line. Whether for pulp cooking, heating, or paper drying and forming, a high-quality and stable steam source is required. Considering the fluctuations in local power supply and the availability of coal resources in Zimbabwe, the customer clearly requested a high-efficiency coal-fired steam boiler. As an export-oriented boiler manufacturer, ZOZEN Boiler provided a solution that aligns with these specific regional energy conditions.

ZOZEN Boiler SZL series coal-fired steam boilers are becoming the core power source for paper production lines, ensuring the efficient operation of cooking and drying processes.

Technology Drives Efficiency, SZL Series Boilers Demonstrate High Energy Saving

Targeting the customer's 12 t/h steam demand and local coal characteristics, the technical team at ZOZEN Boiler, a professional export-oriented boiler manufacturer, customized the SZL12-1.6-AII shop-assembled water tube boiler. This SZL series coal-fired steam boiler is one of ZOZEN Boiler's products that has received positive feedback in overseas markets, particularly suitable for the paper industry which requires high continuous operation stability.

 

This series of boilers adopts a double-drum longitudinal layout, and the design fully considers the sufficiency of fuel combustion. Its unique chain grate design, combined with a compartmentalized air supply system, can distribute air according to different stages of coal combustion, ensuring the fuel burnout rate and significantly reducing fuel costs for the enterprise. Data shows that the thermal efficiency of ZOZEN's SZL series coal-fired boilers can reach over 81%. As an export-oriented boiler manufacturer, ZOZEN ensures these parameters meet industrial expectations.

 

Furthermore, to adapt to the convenience of overseas transportation and installation, ZOZEN Boiler utilized a fast-assembly or shop-assembly structure. The boiler proper and auxiliary machines are modularly pre-assembled before leaving the factory. This not only shortens the installation period at the Zimbabwe site but also reduces installation difficulty and costs, allowing the customer to put the equipment into production faster. This efficiency is a hallmark of an experienced export-oriented boiler manufacturer.

The SZL series coal-fired boiler components, loaded with the quality of ZOZEN Boiler, are ready for departure and will soon arrive at the Zimbabwe project site across the ocean.
