What Are Packaged Burners?
Packaged burners are complete combustion systems delivered as a single, ready-to-install unit. Unlike traditional burner setups, which often require onsite integration of separate components, a packaged burner includes the burner head, fuel train, control system, and safety devices — all preassembled, pretested, and optimised for performance.
This “plug-and-play” design reduces installation time, simplifies commissioning, and ensures consistent performance across a wide range of heating processes.
Why Packaged Burners Are Ideal for Industrial Drying
Many industrial drying applications rely on precisely controlled, energy-efficient heat. Whether you’re drying grain, baking bread, or processing chemicals, the demands on the burner system are significant: stable output, fast response times, and low emissions.
Packaged burners meet these needs with:
Precise modulation and high turndown ratios
Low NOx and CO emissions for regulatory compliance
Compact, self-contained designs for space-saving installations
Preconfigured safety and control systems to minimise downtime
Key Applications
At Rapidflame, we supply the NECO packaged burner system, specifically engineered for industrial drying processes, including:
Grain Dryers: Uniform drying with efficient heat transfer and reliable burner performance throughout seasonal peaks.
Bakery Ovens: Stable flame control for consistent baking temperatures and improved product quality.
Textile & Chemical Dryers: Clean combustion and precise heat control for delicate drying processes that can’t afford variability.
With output capacities ranging from 4 kW to 700 kW, NECO burners cover everything from small-scale operations to high-throughput production lines.
Low Emissions, High Performance
Modern drying facilities face increasingly strict environmental regulations. The NECO packaged burner offers low NOx emissions and optimised combustion for minimal fuel waste. Combined with a high turndown ratio, it ensures accurate temperature control without frequent cycling, reducing wear and improving energy efficiency.
Plug-and-Play Integration
Because the burner system arrives preassembled and tested, installation is straightforward — particularly beneficial for OEMs and contractors facing tight project deadlines. The NECO system is also compatible with both new and retrofit applications.
