Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Superior Paper Recovery Boiler House Kit - 933-3901

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Superior Paper Recovery Boiler House Kit - 933-3901 adds a towering processing and power structure to HO scale paper mills and other large industrial complexes. An important part of the Superior Paper series, this Cornerstone kit models the recovery boiler house where chemicals used during the papermaking process are recovered for reuse while black liquor is burned to generate steam and energy for the mill. With its impressive 17" height, rooftop tanks, and stacks, the structure creates a strong industrial landmark on layouts set from the 1960s to the present. Finished dimensions are 11-3/4 x 8 x 17" (29.8 x 20.3 x 43.1cm). Explore the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale industries and structures.

In the paper-making process, material produced in the Kraft Mill is concentrated through evaporation into black liquor. Raw rosin can be recovered and processed into tall oil, while the remaining black liquor is burned in the recovery boiler to produce steam and energy. Other processing chemicals are recovered for reuse in the mill. Tall oil can then be stored and shipped by rail or truck for use in products including glue, rubber, ink, soap, and lubricants, adding another potential freight movement to a complete paper mill scene.

Build a Detailed HO Scale Recovery Boiler House

The Walthers Cornerstone Superior Paper Recovery Boiler House provides a major processing structure for creating a realistic paper mill or other large industrial complex:

• HO scale Superior Paper Recovery Boiler House plastic structure kit
• Walthers Cornerstone product number 933-3901
• Major component of the Superior Paper mill complex
• Perfect for layouts set in the 1960s and later
• Models an important part of the chemical recovery and energy-generation process
• Black liquor is burned to generate steam and energy for the mill
• Processing chemicals are recovered for reuse
• Tall oil produced during processing can be shipped by rail or truck
• Large industrial structure in a layout-sized footprint
• Distinctive tall rooftop tanks and stacks
• Can also be used with other large modern industrial complexes
• Parts molded in appropriate colors
• Finished dimensions: 11-3/4 x 8 x 17" (29.8 x 20.3 x 43.1cm)

The Recovery Boiler House is especially effective as part of a complete Superior Paper complex, where its tall profile provides visual contrast with surrounding mill buildings. Its role in recovering chemicals and generating energy also helps explain the network of tanks, piping, processing structures, and rail traffic found around a large paper mill. Used separately, the building can also serve as a substantial processing or utility structure for another major industry.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone Paper Mill

Combine the Recovery Boiler House with Walthers Cornerstone heavy industry and Walthers Cornerstone industrial structures to build a larger processing and manufacturing complex. Pairing 933-3901 with the Superior Paper Mill, Kraft Mill, Rotary Dumper, and other paper-industry structures can create a substantial rail-served industry with multiple types of freight traffic.

Additional tanks, piping, utility equipment, fencing, signs, and other finishing touches from Walthers Cornerstone accessories and details can help tie the Recovery Boiler House into the surrounding mill complex.
