Fulton has supplied and commissioned the UK’s first VSRT‑125 vertical steam boiler at Bristol Beer Factory’s new Ashton Vale brewery, delivering powerful, responsive steam that keeps pace with an ambitious brewhouse and a fast‑growing beer business.
From day one, the VSRT‑125 has enabled Bristol Beer Factory to “fully achieve what the new brewhouse is designed and set out to do”, providing high‑quality steam, rapid warm‑up and impressively low gas use that align with the brewery’s sustainability‑led design.
As a leader in innovative steam boiler technology, we will be showcasing our advanced VSRT, VSRT-E, and Electric steam boilers at the Sustainable Food Factory event, along with a comprehensive portfolio of aftercare services, advanced solutions designed to deliver exceptional energy efficiency while supporting the food manufacturing sector’s transition to low-carbon operations.
Fulton has unveiled a strategic restructure of its senior management team, reinforcing a commitment to innovation and operational excellence within the UK’s heat transfer sector.
This realignment is designed to position the business at the forefront of sustainable technology, while strengthening the UK operation's role in Fulton’s wider global network.
The strategic partnership strengthens technical capability and service coverage across Germany and neighbouring markets.
Fulton has successfully completed a focused technical training programme with Dr. Thomas Straeten and Mr. Torben Lotte of WaDaTec – Wasser- und Dampftechnik GmbH – Germany's leading water and steam technology specialist. The comprehensive programme covered Fulton's innovative VSRT steam boilers and the company's Electric steam boiler range, including the Europack and Electropack models.
The visit represents Fulton's ongoing commitment to supporting partners with hands-on instruction, commissioning insights and application expertise, ensuring WaDaTec can confidently promote and support Fulton solutions throughout Germany and neighbouring markets.
The VSRT-E hybrid steam boiler from Fulton represents a significant advancement in industrial steam generation, addressing the pressing demands of decarbonisation and energy flexibility, whilst maintaining the flexibility and resilience dual fuel operation offers to critical operations such as medical support facilities.
Developed in response to global net-zero initiatives and evolving regulatory landscapes, this innovative steam boiler combines gas-fired efficiency with electric operation to offer a future-proof solution for facilities striving to balance operational costs, emissions reduction, and infrastructure constraints.
Hydes Brewery, an independent brewer with a rich heritage, is committed to producing high-quality beer while continuously improving sustainability and efficiency.
With steam playing an essential role in brewing, from mashing and wort boiling to sterilisation and cleaning, ensuring a reliable, efficient, and environmentally responsible steam supply is not just a technical necessity, it is fundamental to the brewery’s commitment to quality, cost-effectiveness, and reducing its environmental impact.
