Today is Go Big day in our shop. Here’s James, working on a 650 booster – one of our large size boosters. We see orders for about 4 of these a year and James is building 2 of these today. Here’s Dave L, working on a 3″ valve train. Most of our valve train work is 2″ or less, so we don’t often see valve trains this big! I’d say Go Big or Go Home, but we need these guys here, working hard to satisfy our customers! So, Go Big and Stay Working Hard! Contact Us

We Can Do That
When a customer recently inquired about installing a Duplex version of ETTER Engineering’s popular E101-P natural gas booster package into a very tight space, our engineering and design team jumped into action. Whereas a traditional Duplex package would have the gas booster pumps mounted side-by-side, this installation called for a vertical design to be developed, stacking the two gas booster pumps on top of each other, with the enclosure containing the touch-screen controls mounted atop the pumps. Despite the extra engineering work, the project was still completed within our standard lead-time, leading to a very happy customer! Nice work, team! Contact Us

NFPA 86 – Combustion Safety Audits
While safety is everybody’s business, the focus on safety and disaster prevention sometimes gets put on the back burner. Work priorities, busy production schedules and a overworked maintenance staff can de-prioritize your safety program. NFPA codes and standards exist to help companies prevent accidents and disasters and to protect your employees. At ETTER, we use the NFPA codes and standards in our Combustion Safety Audit program. We’ll complete a detailed audit of your facility’s combustion systems and we’ll provide a report documenting of our findings and making recommendations for bringing non-compliant equipment into compliance with current combustion safety standards. What is NFPA? Founded in 1896, NFPA grew out of a meeting on sprinkler standards. The Bylaws of the Association that were first established in 1896 embody the…

Furnace #1 Has Left the Building!
Followers of the ETTER Blog will remember the Aluminum Forge Furnaces we’ve been building. Furnace #1 was completed earlier this week, at which point riggers were called in to expertly (and deftly) pluck the 10,000 pound furnace out of the shop and load it on a flatbed for transport to its final destination. Work on Furnace #2 continues. Look for more photos as it nears completion! These furnaces are prime examples of ETTER’s Solutions Division, which draws on the collective knowledge acquired over the course of our nearly 75-year existence to solve the toughest problems for our customers.

Work on the Furnace Continues
As we revisit our Aluminum Forge Furnace under construction in the shop, we see controls have been mounted, along with fuel trains and the stainless steel conveyor belt. It’s been fascinating to watch this beast come together, and I can’t wait to see the finished product! Contact Us
The Furnace Gets Painted!
Those that follow the ETTER Blog will remember the Aluminum Forge Furnaces we’ve been building in our shop. A major step in the process is now complete – both furnaces have been painted, and are ready for the combustion components to be fit! More to come as the build progresses… Contact Us
Raising (and Lowering) the Roof on an Aluminum Forge Furnace
ETTER Engineering does a lot of different things, which means a walk through the shop is always an interesting experience. On a recent walk, I spotted a few of our guys raising, and then lowering into place the roof on a massive aluminum forge furnace, one of two that ETTER is building for a customer. The furnace measures approximately twenty feet long by eight feet high, and is designed to reach an operating temperature of 1,000° – careful, or that pizza might get burned! Just kidding… Stay tuned as the furnace production continues. With major fabrication completed, it’s now time to begin mounting controls, gas trains, and other details. ETTER Engineering has been producing Custom Manufactured Solutions since 1940. If you have a combustion or…
