Handcraft Manufacturing: Replacing an RHI Boiler with a Ranheat MSU 300

Handcraft Manufacturing have specialised in affordable bespoke kitchen cabinets since 1997, made and delivered with passion from their factory in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. They had an RHI industrial biomass boiler that was extremely problematic and needed replacing. The solution proved to be a Ranheat MSU 300 industrial wood waste boiler. Read below to find out more.

Biomass Boiler Upgrade: Ranheat MSU 300, Ceramic Flue Gas Filter, and Boiler House

By 2023 the existing RHI boiler at Handcraft needed replacing. Ranheat was able to provide an MSU 300 Industrial Wood Waste Boiler with Ceramic Filter, and integrate this with their existing silo and heating system.

While integrating new components into existing heating systems and storage are difficult, we used a 3D laser scanner to create a point cloud digital model of the site. Using this 3D reference we were able to “cut” out the equipment that was getting removed and put in our 3D model of our layout, complete with conveying, boiler house, and pipework.

By creating digital doubles of our clients’ sites we are able to design and produce exactly what is needed in our Northampton factory, and deliver more value for our customers.

David Dodds is the Managing Director of Handcraft. Here is what he had to say:

“We are really happy with the new Ranheat system. Our previous system was not keeping up with our waste production and was also having reliability issues. This was causing us to have an average waste disposal bill of £3000 a month. While OFGEM have been slow in processing the change in appliance Ranheat were able to provide all the necessary information about emission certificates, local authority part b permits required.”
