An ignition transformer is a device used for direct spark ignition in combustion systems. Reliable, repeatable direct-spark ignition requires a high-energy spark — and the ignition transformer is what we use to generate the high voltage we need to create that spark. A typical supply in the USA is 120 volts, but we need to send Read More

FAQ: What is a Package Burner?
A package burner is an industrial burner with its own dedicated blower. The standard scope of supply includes everything you need to safely run the burner: blower, air valve, air pressure switches, gas manifold (with filter, pressure reducing regulator, safety shut-off valves, gas pressure switches, etc.), ignition transformer, and flame safety. You are responsible for Read More
FAQ: What are Low NOx Burners?
What is NOx? Nitrogen Oxide (NOx), is a common byproduct of combustion processes. Whenever fuel (natural gas, propane gas, methane, coke oven gas, biogas, etc) is burned at high heat, NOx is produced. It is present in emissions from cars, trucks, boats, planes, and construction equipment, as well as industrial equipment like power plants, kilns, Read More
FAQ: What is a Ribbon Burner?
What is a Ribbon Burner? A ribbon burner is a type of premix, direct-fire burner typically used in low temperature applications such as air heating, bakery, sterilizing, brazing, and packaging. The term “premix” refers to a process of creating a gas and air mixture, at the proper ratio, which populates the flame tube prior to Read More
ESA REKO-SIK-NxT-SW
The REKO-SIK-NxT-SW by ESA is a sidewall burner in a self-recuperative body utilizing ESA’s NxT technology. A “sidewall” (or “flat flame” or “wall hugging”) burner traditionally uses centrifugal force to achieve a flame that stays close to the refractory wall, avoiding impingement on the work product. The REKO-SIK-NxT-SW works a bit differently, instead dividing the Read More
