WESTFIELD, Mass., August 2004 -- RBI now provides high efficiency Futera II Series boilers with an optional stainless steel jacket. The brushed stainless steel jacket provides corrosion resistance for indoor or outdoor installations in harsh environments such as coastal areas and processing applications requiring wash down.

Futera II Series boilers, featuring non-condensing design, provide up to 85% efficiency with industry leading NOx levels of less than 10 ppm. The boiler features an advanced troubleshooting and self-diagnostic control that provides step-by-step cycle of operation. Each step is automatically tested and indicated, allowing for simplified and less costly troubleshooting.

Quality components include a rugged heat exchanger with bronze headers and fittings that prevent rust and corrosion for the life of the boiler. Finned tubes are industrial-grade copper with fins and tube walls formed as one for maximum heat transfer.

The compact, low maintenance design and venting flexibility of Futera II Series boilers permit easy installation and service. Seven models are available ranging from 500 to 1950 MBH. Futera II Series boilers are ideal for any domestic hot water or hydronic space heating application.

RBI, a Mestek Company, manufactures a full line of finned copper tube hot water heaters and boilers. For more information about the new Futera II Series boilers with optional stainless steel jacket, contact:

250 S. Wacker Case Study.pdf

250 South Wacker in Chicago is now operational with active chilled beams installed on the perimeter.  DADANCO is currently giving guided tours of the building to foster better understanding of active chilled beam systems and their application.  This building has undergone a complete refurbishment and now has the prestigious position of being one of the first commercial buildings in the US installed and operating with active chilled beams.

DADANCO has joined the U. S. Green Building Council.  DADANCO's active chilled beam system designs are being used in many buildings seeking LEED certification due to the dramatic fan energy savings over more conventional "all-air" systems such as VAV. 

Formtek is pleased to announce some organizational additions that will help the Formtek Group and Formtek Metal Forming, Inc. in their continual strive for excellence in the roll forming equipment industry.

We welcome back Mr. Darren Muchnicki as President of Formtek Metal Forming, Inc. He recently returned to Formtek after serving as Vice-President of Operations at American Roll Forming Products Corp, a contract manufacturer of roll formed products. Prior to that, Mr. Muchnicki had been with Formtek, and Yoder Manufacturing, for nearly 18 years. With a full career in manufacturing of capital equipment, his vast experience and involvement in modern manufacturing techniques will be of great addition to the organization.

Formtek, as part of a comprehensive plan to meet or exceed the heightened demands of the roll forming industry, has taken delivery of a new five-axis, dual chuck, machining center for its Cleveland location. This addition, along with their existing CNC equipment and other machines currently on order, will enable Formtek to produce roll tooling more efficiently, by eliminating many of the time consuming steps currently involved in tooling manufacture, while simultaneously increasing the quality and consistency of the tooling produced.

Formtek is the largest provider of tooling and equipment to the roll forming industry. With its Yoder, B&K, Dahlstrom, Tishken, and Lockformer brand names it can provide any type and size equipment required to meet the needs of its customers.

Please visit the Formtek website (www.formtekgroup.com) for additional information on products and services available.

Formtek announces Bob Shaffer as the new Director of Customer Service. He has over twenty-five years experience in the tube mill and roll forming equipment industry, having installed systems and provided service support throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Africa. In this new role, Mr. Shaffer will be responsible for overseeing the customer's aftermarket needs in the areas of on-site service, training, spare parts, and rebuilds.
