The Challenges of Factory Heating

Maintaining a safe, comfortable factory temperature is crucial but challenging.

Common factory heating issues include:

Large, open spaces.

Why?

Factories are often sizable spaces that are difficult to heat. As warm air rises to the ceiling and leads to cold spots forming at ground level.

Varying temperature needs.

Why?

Different areas within a factory may have varying temperature requirements. Older or more basic heating systems will struggle to be able to accommodate.

Dust, fumes and other pollutants.

Why?

Factory processes can generate harmful particles that increase the need for air circulation. While potentially damaging your heating system.

Challenging manual work.

Why?

Your staff will often be engaging in strenuous physical work, which can make inconsistent temperatures more difficult to manage.

From initial contact to commissioning team OKEL performed at a every level to ensure the designed heating and destratification system was seamlessly installed throughout our factory. Working in partnership with both their heating and electrical engineers we incurred minimal disruption to operations with the majority of works conducted above 15 metres across the whole factory. It was a pleasure to work with a very knowledgeable and professional business and highly recommend them.
