OVENS, SPRAYBOOTHS & PROCESS HEATING
New Lanemark burner design
opens up new opportunities
The selection of the most effective
temperature and process burner control
system is one of the key factors that
impacts on the overall effi ciency of a gas-
fi red industrial recirculating oven or dryer,
particularly in terms of energy usage. That
is the proven view of Lanemark Combustion
Engineering Ltd. who have designed,
manufactured and installed a wide range of
process gas burner systems worldwide –
many in facilities that are at the heart of
the surface treatment and fi nishing sector.
Significantly, it is a view that underpins the company’s highly
acclaimed FDGA burner design which sees both the gas and
combustion airflows modulate in response to the process oven
temperature requirements. Moreover, it is now the principal behind
the latest addition to the Lanemark FD range – the FDB packaged or
semi-packaged burner – which offers additional advantages in terms
of both location and, importantly, flame profile.
“As with the FDGA design, FDB burners offer flexible, high turndown
control of both gas and air with benefits seen particularly across a
range of oven, dryer and spray-booth applications,” says Adrian
Langford, General Manager at Lanemark Combustion Engineering.
“This is clearly relevant in the surface treatment sector in areas such
as paint spray-booth air heating – for both spray and bake cycles –
and with paint drying and curing ovens.”
Adrian Langford points out that a key characteristic of the FDB design
is its ability to be mounted either internally within an enclosure or
directly onto the wall of a dryer, oven or process air heating duct.
