R.W. Martin Highlights Hot Water and Steam Equipment for Aggregate Thawing, Concrete Curing and Cold-Weather Operations

KENT, OH, UNITED STATES, October 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As colder weather approaches, R.W. Martin is highlighting the water-heating and steam-generating equipment available through its Process Water Solutions division for operations that depend on hot water or low-pressure steam to keep production running.

In concrete production, hot water supports cold-weather operations by helping prevent freezing and allowing proper curing during low ambient temperatures. It also helps producers meet required mix temperature specifications. Low-pressure steam is used to heat and thaw aggregate, accelerate curing, and thaw and de-ice lines, valves and tanks.

For facilities that need a continuous supply of heated water, Sioux WH Series industrial water heaters provide hot water within three minutes of startup. The horizontal, skid-mounted units come in four sizes with heat outputs of 1.0, 1.7, 3.0 or 5.0 million BTU per hour and reach a 170°F tank temperature. They can be paired with a 1,000- or 2,500-gallon tank skid package for a complete water heating system. The WH Series is used in concrete production, food and beverage processing, and commercial and industrial laundries.

For high-volume applications, the EllisLudell direct-contact water heater provides instant 180°F water at up to 800 gallons per minute with up to 99% thermal efficiency. The system heats water in a single pass, with no storage or recovery time, regardless of the season or surrounding temperature. R.W. Martin supplies these systems to the commercial laundry, concrete, and food and beverage industries.

For processes that require low-pressure steam, the Sioux Steam-Flo® industrial steam generator line offers outputs from 380 to 3,450 pounds of steam per hour. Most models are available with oil, propane or natural gas burners, and as trailer-mount or enclosed trailer units. Applications include:

Heating and thawing aggregate and accelerating curing in concrete production

Thawing and de-icing lines, valves, tanks, well heads and culverts

Cleaning the interior of railway tank cars and heating them to ease unloading of viscous materials

Pasteurizing soil and sterilizing planting containers at greenhouses and nurseries

R.W. Martin Process Water Solutions also supplies and services boilers, water chillers, aggregate heaters, heat recovery systems, pressure washers, steam cleaners and ready-mix truck wash systems.
