Industrial Burner for Gas BIO
The BIO burner is designed for industrial furnaces and firing systems in the iron and steel industries in the precious, non-ferrous, and light metal sector, as well as in the plastics, fiber, and paper industries. Other fields of application are thermal incineration installations, as well as dryers and hot-air generators.
For low temperature applications (e.g. for crucible heating, radiant tube heating, or hot-air generation), the burners are equipped with a heat-resistant steel attachment tube.
For high temperature applications (e.g. forging furnace), the burners are used in combination with a burner quarl made from refractory concrete. Different flame shapes can be achieved by using burner quarls with a different geometry.
The burner can be adapted to the system requirements using different burner tube lengths.

Continuous control with pneumatic ratio control system
This type of control offers the benefit of the mixture setting being maintained over a wide control range while at the same time preventing air deficiency. This type of control is used in melting furnaces in the aluminium industry or in regenerative incineration installations in the environmental industry, for example. |
 |
Continuous control with pneumatic ratio control system and lance
The burner’s flexibility is increased thanks to an ignition lance. The control range can be extended incrementally with an optional integrated lance. This type of control is used in heat treatment furnaces in the iron and non-ferrous metal industries and in heating furnaces in the steel industry, for example. |
 |
Continuous control with pneumatic ratio control system
The burner is designed for near-stoichiometrical operation and a control range of 1:10 with its special burner head construction for CO2-optimised combustion. In combination with the cascade control system, the burner is capable of operating even with very low connection ratings, control ranges of 1:45 can be achieved. |
 |
Staged control with pneumatic ratio control system
The high output pulse at the burner generated by this type of control produces a uniform temperature distribution and good circulation of the furnace or kiln atmosphere, e.g. in heat treatment furnaces in the iron and non-ferrous metal industries or kilns for heavy-clay and fine ceramics. The pneumatic air/gas ratio control system offers maximum safety by an air deficiency cut-out, with a constant lambda value being maintained while the air pressure varies. |
