Industrial Gas Burners Engineered for Your Process

​

Industrial burner selection involves more than matching a burner to a required heat output.

​

The flame needs to deliver heat in the right way for the process while operating reliably across the required firing range. Depending on the application, this may require a compact flame, high-velocity combustion, uniform heating across a wide area or a precisely controlled oxygen-gas flame.

​

Rapidflame develops burner solutions around the application rather than simply selecting equipment from a fixed catalogue.

 

Our industrial combustion systems can include:

• Air-gas burner systems

• Oxygen-gas burner systems

• Nozzle-mix and premix configurations

• Linear and wide-area burners

• High-temperature burner systems

• Packaged combustion systems

• Gas trains and combustion-air equipment

• Ignition and flame-supervision systems

• Modulating burner controls

• PLC and machine-control integration

​

Systems can be supplied as individual burner components or as a more complete engineered combustion package.

​

Industrial Burner Applications

​

Rapidflame burner systems are used across a wide range of manufacturing and process-heating equipment.

​

Industrial Ovens and Dryers

 

Gas burners can provide direct or indirect heat for industrial drying, curing, baking and other thermal processes.

Applications include dryers and ovens used in textiles, coatings, paper, chemicals, food production and general manufacturing.

Burner selection is based on the required heat input, process airflow, temperature range and control requirements.

 

Furnaces and High-Temperature Processes

 

Furnace applications can require high flame temperatures, strong circulation of combustion gases and stable operation over a wide firing range.

​

Rapidflame supplies burner systems for batch and continuous furnaces, kilns and other high-temperature processes.

 

Web Converting and Continuous Processes

 

Continuous production lines can require controlled heat across a wide working width.

Rapidflame develops linear and specialist burner systems for applications including web converting, printing, coating and other continuous manufacturing processes.

 

Glass Processing

 

Glass manufacturing and finishing can require precise control of flame shape, intensity and position.

Rapidflame supplies air-gas and oxygen-gas burner systems for applications including glass forming, heating, flame polishing and other specialist glass processes.

 

Flame Surface Treatment

 

Controlled gas flames can also be used to increase the surface energy of plastics and other materials before printing, coating or adhesive bonding.

​

Rapidflame supplies both fixed and automated flame-treatment systems, including equipment for web processes and robotic treatment of three-dimensional components. Go to Rapidflame Flame Treatment page.

Industrial Gas Burners for OEM Equipment

 

Rapidflame works with OEMs that need combustion equipment to become an integral part of the machine they manufacture.

This means considering the burner system early in the equipment-design process rather than treating combustion as a standalone component.

 

For OEM projects we can consider:

• Burner mounting and available installation space

• Required heat input and operating range

• Gas and combustion-air requirements

• Flame shape and position

• Gas train arrangement

• Ignition and flame supervision

• Electrical and PLC interfaces

• Safety interlocks

• Access for servicing and maintenance

• Requirements for the country in which the equipment will operate

 

Working with the OEM during the design stage can help create a combustion system that is easier to integrate, commission and support as part of the finished machine.

​

​

 

Burner Components or Complete Combustion Systems

 

Different projects require different levels of supply.

Where an OEM already has combustion engineering capability, Rapidflame can supply individual burners and associated components.

​

Where a more integrated solution is required, we can provide a packaged combustion system incorporating the burner together with elements such as the combustion-air fan, gas train, ignition equipment, flame supervision and controls.

This allows the combustion equipment to be engineered as a coordinated system rather than assembled from unrelated components.

​

For applications requiring an integrated burner package, see our Packaged Combustion Systems.

​​

​

​

Combustion Control and Safety

 

Reliable burner performance depends on the complete combustion-control system as well as the burner itself.

Rapidflame systems can incorporate gas and air control, automatic ignition, flame supervision, modulation and machine-control interfaces according to the requirements of the application.

Control options can range from relatively simple burner arrangements to systems integrated with a PLC and the wider production machine.

​

The appropriate safety and control architecture is determined by the application, equipment design and requirements of the destination market.

​

Why Work with Rapidflame?

 

Rapidflame combines specialist combustion engineering with experience of integrating burners into industrial production equipment.

​

Customers work with us for:

• Application-led engineering – burners selected around the thermal process and machine requirements

• Custom burner capability – solutions for applications that cannot be met by a standard packaged burner

• OEM integration experience – combustion systems designed to become part of the customer's equipment

• Air-gas and oxygen-gas expertise – technologies for both conventional process heating and specialist high-temperature applications

• Complete system capability – from individual burners to gas controls, combustion air, safety systems and control integration

• International supply – burner systems for equipment operating in markets around the world

• Engineering support – assistance from initial application assessment through system design and commissioning requirements

 

Rapidflame operates an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, with a team drawing on extensive industrial burner application experience.

​

Discuss Your Industrial Burner Application

 

The best starting point for an industrial burner project is information about the process.

 

When contacting Rapidflame, provide as much of the following as possible:

• Required heat input in kW

• Normal and maximum operating temperature

• Fuel type

• Available gas pressure

• Oven, dryer, furnace or process dimensions

• Process or chamber pressure

• Required flame shape or heating pattern

• Control requirements

• Electrical supply

• Country of installation

 

For a replacement burner, photographs and details of the existing installation are also useful. For a new OEM machine, drawings can help us assess how the burner and combustion controls can be integrated into the equipment.
