Miura America exhibited its LX-50 steam boiler at PACK EXPO International 2026, held October 18–21 in Chicago, at Booth LU-8035. The company used the packaging and processing trade show to present the compact unit as a way for plants to adjust to changing steam demand while maintaining production continuity and improving energy efficiency.
The LX-50 is a 50 BHP boiler that produces approximately 1,730 pounds of steam per hour. Miura positions it for processing, cleaning, sanitation and other plant-support applications. Standard-pressure models operate from 70 to 150 PSI, while low-pressure models run at 15 PSI. The boiler uses a once-through, low-water-content watertube design intended to enable rapid startup and on-demand steam production while helping reduce standby losses.
The unit can run on natural gas or propane. Miura lists 85% efficiency and NOx emissions as low as 20 PPM. For packaging and processing facilities, the company says these characteristics can help conserve floor space, support reliable daily operations and advance energy-efficiency and emissions-reduction goals. These are the manufacturer’s stated capabilities; the input does not include independent performance data or installed-system results.
Miura also highlighted its broader boiler-room offerings and lifecycle services at the show. Those services include site assessments, system design, installation support, water treatment, remote monitoring, maintenance and ongoing optimization. According to the company, the combination is intended to help facilities address changing production needs and sanitation demands, supporting safety, reliability and efficiency in industrial steam operations.
