ZOZEN Gas-Fired Steam Boiler Marks Five Years of Service at Guizhou Haocaitou, Supporting Food Production

At Guizhou Haocaitou Food Co., Ltd. in Tongren, Guizhou Province, a ZOZEN WNS series gas-fired steam boiler has been operating for five years as part of the company’s steam supply system. The WNS10-1.25-Q boiler, with a rated capacity of 10 t/h, serves as an important heat source for food production. In recent feedback, the customer noted that matching the equipment configuration to production requirements, along with ease of daily operation and maintenance, were key considerations when selecting the boiler.

Established in March 2015, Guizhou Haocaitou is the southern production base of Fujian Haocaitou Co., Ltd. Its main products include beverages, self-heating claypot-style rice meals, and self-heating hot-and-sour vermicelli. Food processing requires a supporting steam supply, so boiler selection must account for both production demand and equipment management after commissioning. ZOZEN Boiler supplied a complete boiler equipment package to address these requirements.

Configuring the Steam Supply Around Production Requirements

For food manufacturers, selecting a boiler begins with understanding steam demand. The amount of steam required, operating schedules, and on-site installation conditions all influence equipment selection and system configuration. Rated capacity alone cannot answer every question; the boiler must also be considered within the factory’s production plan.

For the Guizhou Haocaitou project, ZOZEN Boiler supplied a 10 t/h WNS series gas-fired steam boiler. From equipment selection to system configuration, ZOZEN Boiler developed the package around the steam requirements of food processing, aligning the heat source with production needs. The project also provides a practical application reference for food manufacturers planning a new steam supply system or modifying an existing one.

Including Operation and Maintenance in Equipment Selection

Alongside production requirements, the customer highlighted “ease of daily operation and maintenance.” Once a boiler enters service, operators need to monitor its condition, while equipment managers must organize inspections and maintenance. These routine responsibilities deserve attention during procurement.

ZOZEN WNS series boilers feature a large furnace design, automatic controls, and safety interlocks to support steam supply and equipment management. The series can also be equipped with flue gas heat recovery equipment, incorporating waste heat utilization into the system design. The specific configuration depends on project conditions; features described for the series should not automatically be assumed to be installed at a particular site.

Five Years in Service: Understanding the Boiler’s Role in Production

According to customer feedback, this ZOZEN boiler has been operating at the plant for five years and remains an important part of its production steam supply. This operating history extends the case beyond delivery and into everyday use: the configuration, operation, and maintenance considerations identified during selection must ultimately be assessed in the factory’s daily work.

Supporting the project are ZOZEN Boiler’s manufacturing and equipment integration capabilities. With more than three decades of experience in industrial boiler research, development, and manufacturing, the company uses equipment including CNC machinery and robotic welding systems. Its products serve industries such as food processing, chemicals, brewing, and papermaking, with equipment solutions developed around different heating requirements.

For food manufacturers reviewing a boiler project, model specifications matter, but so does the relationship between production needs and equipment configuration. The Guizhou Haocaitou project demonstrates an application of the ZOZEN WNS series in the food industry. Companies can provide ZOZEN Boiler with their steam demand, required steam pressure, and site conditions to discuss equipment selection and system configuration.
