EPB - Packaged modulant burners

Description

EPB burners are metallic packaged modulant gas burners for direct heating, designed for industrial applications such as ceramic kilns, tunnel furnaces, dryers, textile machines, stress-relieving and melting furnaces. They allow excess air and gas settings, ensuring operational flexibility. Compatible with natural gas and LPG (standard version) and other gases upon request.

Key features: capacity from 150 to 1500 kW, max temperature 1000°C, air/gas pressure 30 mbar, flow ratio up to 1:10 (BIAS effect), flame speed 50–60 m/s, CO emissions <10 ppm @3% O₂, excess air up to 1000%. The EPB packaged modulant gas burners materials are: mixer body and gas collector in cast iron G25, baffle tube and combustion head in AISI304/AISI310.

Ignition is via high-voltage discharge electrodes; flame detection by electrode or UV barrier. Flame control systems are strongly recommended for applications below 750°C. EPB burners are “nozzle mix” type, mixing fuel and air at the head to prevent backfires.

Installation: flange mounting, gas connections with expansion joints, high-voltage cables unshielded and proper grounding required. Maintenance includes electrode checks, blower filter cleaning, and pressure switch testing; extraordinary maintenance involves gasket replacement and calibration.

Certifications: compliant with EU Directives 2006/42/EC and 2004/108/EC, UNI EN 746-2:2010, and ISO 9001. With robust design and adjustable settings, EPB burners ensure efficiency, safety, and low emissions for industrial thermal processes.
