June, 2023 - Trap Energy Solutions (trap.energy), a Shakopee, MN based provider of steam boiler systems, announces the installation of 2 Miura On-Demand Steam Boilers in the Vaxxinova (vaxxinova.us.com) veterinary vaccine manufacturing facility located in Willmar, MN. Vaxxinova installed the first Miura Boiler in Minnesota in 1996. When they needed to add capacity and update capabilities, they chose Miura again because of the exceptional experience with their original boiler.
“We have been operating our original Miura boiler for 27 years with very few issues,” said Donavan Zammert, Maintenance and Engineering Manager at Vaxxinova's Willmar MN facility. “So, when the time came to expand the system we looked to Miura again and were intrigued by the low-fire/high-fire option, which when combined with their fast steam generation should make it easier to keep consistent pressure with our highly variable demand. Their smaller footprint also minimized our remodel effort to accommodate the additional capacity. We're not giving up on our original boiler, though. Because it has been so dependable, we decided to relocate it and incorporate it as a back-up system.”
“It's always exciting and gratifying when a customer comes back and orders an additional Miura boiler,” explained Garret Trapnell, Miura's Minnesota representative. “We know the numerous economic and productivity advantages of Miura's On-Demand Steam Solutions, but having repeat customers is the best endorsement.”
Vaxxinova US, originally called Epitopix, began as the laboratory service division of Willmar Poultry Company (WPC) in Willmar, Minnesota. During the 1980s, WPC began to seek innovative ways to improve the health of its turkey breeding stock. In order to combat Salmonella, E. coli, Pasteurella (fowl cholera), and Hemorrhagic Enteritis virus, WPC created a USDA licensed vaccine laboratory, and selected a premier team of scientists to pioneer novel vaccine technology. This team pursued a single vaccine that would prevent as many as 30 different serotypes of Salmonella commonly found in the production of poultry and livestock.
