These boilers were built to support critical manufacturing processes, including rubber and thermoplastic molding, while also providing additional steam capacity to the facility’s overall operations. 🔥

Boilers aren’t one-size-fits-all. Horsepower, pressure rating, and output all play a major role in how a system performs, and selecting the right size directly impacts efficiency and production capability. Each unit shown here is capable of producing up to 2,070 pounds of steam per hour, making them a strong solution for applications that require dependable, mid-range steam output.

60 HP boilers are commonly used in industrial and commercial environments such as hospitals, universities, food processing plants, and manufacturing facilities where consistent steam or hot water demand is essential. They strike the balance between performance, footprint, and flexibility.

Every York-Shipley boiler is thoughtfully engineered and hand-crafted by a team focused on precision, durability, and long-term reliability. ⚙️

Not every artifact in the Steam Museum runs on steam, but every artifact has a story worth preserving.

This 1917 Fairbanks Morse engine is the newest addition to our collection. Originally built more than a century ago, engines like this helped power farms, workshops, factories, and communities across America during a time of rapid industrial growth.

While it may not be steam-powered, it represents the same spirit of innovation, craftsmanship, and mechanical ingenuity that the Steam Museum was created to preserve.

We're excited to give this piece of history a new home and share its story with future generations. Learn more https://powermechanical.com/pmi-steam-museum/

A look back at this past Saturday's Toys for Tots Foster & Kinship Family Fun Fest!
Power Mechanical was proud to bring a variety of interactive exhibits and hands-on activities to this incredible event, including our Steam Museum whistle, steam calliope, newly acquired zoo train, one of our home-built trains, and welding activities where attendees could create their own keepsakes.

From steam-powered history and skilled trades to smiles and unforgettable moments, we had the opportunity to connect with local families, inspire curiosity, and showcase the craftsmanship that continues to shape our industry.

A big thank you to Toys for Tots, the volunteers, sponsors, and community partners who made this event possible.

We Build People, Then We Build Boilers.

🚗 Precision in Motion: The 1906 White Model O Steam Car Engine ⚙️🔥
This week’s Steam Museum spotlight features the engine block from a 1906 White Model O steam car, one of the most finely engineered steam vehicles of its era.

The White legacy began not in automobiles, but in sewing machines. Thomas H. White founded the White Sewing Machine Company, which became a massive success in the late 1800s. His son, Rollin H. White, took that spirit of innovation overseas to study steam automobile design in Europe.

Upon his return, Rollin patented a highly efficient steam generator in 1900, paving the way for the company to begin producing steam cars that same year. By 1906, the automotive branch officially became the White Motor Company.

Our featured two-chamber steam engine is directly connected to Rollin White’s design, converting steam energy into mechanical motion and producing roughly 20 horsepower, an impressive feat for its time.

As the summer season increases cooling demand across facilities, reliable cooling tower performance becomes more important than ever. Power Mechanical supports commercial and industrial operations with cooling solutions designed to improve efficiency, maintain system performance, and help facilities stay operational during peak temperatures.

Cooling towers play a critical role in removing heat from water-cooled systems by lowering condenser water temperatures and supporting overall HVAC and process cooling efficiency. Whether supporting planned upgrades, maintenance projects, or critical cooling needs, our team is ready to provide dependable equipment and rapid support.

Carbon capture projects require reliable, well-integrated thermal and mechanical systems, and that’s where Power Mechanical comes in. ⚙️♻️

The skid shown here was designed and assembled to support a carbon capture application, integrating a chiller, storage tank, and electric boiler into a compact, temporary solution. This type of setup is often used to support pilot programs, testing phases, or short-term process demands where flexibility and speed matter just as much as performance.

Projects like this demonstrate Power Mechanical’s ability to engineer and deliver custom skidded systems that bring together multiple technologies into a single, functional package. From boilers and chillers to process piping and controls, our team supports complex energy and industrial applications from concept through ex*****on. 🔧🔥

If you’re exploring carbon capture, pilot systems, or temporary process solutions, we have the experience to help you move forward with confidence.
