How Much Does a 5 t/h Industrial Steam Boiler Cost?

Across sectors—from breweries and food plants to pharmaceutical and chemical facilities—steam boilers keep processes running by supplying steady, high‑volume steam for heating, sterilization and power. FangKuai’s 5 ton‑per‑hour oil‑ or gas‑fired model packs substantial output into a compact footprint, making it a natural fit for mid‑sized operations.

5 t/h Condensing Oil/Gas Steam Boiler Price

Factory‑direct figures show condensing oil/gas steam boilers (1–30 t/h) ranging from about $10,700 up to $403,000. A 5 t/h unit—at the smaller end—typically sells for roughly $40,700–$73,000 in a basic spec. Choosing specialty alloys, higher pressures (up to 1.8 MPa) or built‑in automation can drive the price toward the top end.

Key Factors Affecting Boiler Pricing

1. Boiler Design & Heat Exchange Technology
   Condensing boilers recover latent heat from flue gases via specialized heat exchangers, driving thermal efficiencies above 95 %—a premium feature that can add 10–15 % to base prices.

2. Fuel Type and Burner Configuration
   Dual-fuel burners (capable of burning both light and heavy oil) command higher costs than single-fuel designs, due to the added complexity of mixing and combustion controls.

3. Operating Pressure & Steam Quality
   Models rated up to 1.8 MPa or offering superheated steam (>250 °C) require thicker tube walls and more robust controls, typically increasing the unit cost by 20–30 %.

4. Controls & Automation
   PLC-based combustion and remote monitoring platforms streamline operation and maintenance, but can add USD 5,000–15,000 to the overall package, depending on sensor and software integration.

Total Cost of Ownership Considerations

While upfront investment is important, the true cost of a 5 t/h steam boiler also depends on fuel efficiency and maintenance requirements. Condensing boilers’ superior heat-recovery capabilities can lower fuel bills by 10–20 % compared to non-condensing types, quickly offsetting higher initial capital costs over a 3–5 year payback period.

Next Steps & Quotation

Want the sharpest factory‑direct rate on a 5 t/h oil‑ or gas‑fired boiler? Give your vendor the full picture—required steam pressure, fuel type, plant layout and any control/automation needs. Most OEMs (especially in China) will then supply three complimentary, no‑strings quotes and typically promise delivery in about 30–45 days.
