Each one of our plastics machines generate 3 million BTU's of heat. As a reference, a nornal size house in the northern states have a furnace that generates around 90 thousand.

We currently run 6 of these plastics machines 24 hours a day so the plant will stay nice and toasty without running the big boilers. Some of the areas like the bathrooms we are having converted to quartz heaters. To keep conditioned air moving we have Big Ass Fans that push the heat back down. The ceilings are 32' high.
