Self-igniting lance burners for energy-efficient tunnel furnaces

Energy-efficient process heat for the brick and ceramics industry

SKS develops and manufactures self-igniting lance burners for high-temperature processes, especially for use in tunnel kilns of the brick and ceramics industry.

The patented gas-air mixing preparation enables reliable self- and reignition from an oven chamber temperature of 750 °C. As a result, the burners do without separate high-voltage ignition and flame supervision. High flame exit velocities support the intensive circulation of the oven atmosphere and an even temperature distribution.

The robust design with few components reduces maintenance effort and is suitable for both new plants and the modernization of existing tunnel kilns. The burner systems can be adapted to the specific project, oven geometry, performance, operating mode and fuel, and are also designed for the use of hydrogen.

Upon request, SKS supplies not only the burner technology but also the coordinated firing system including gas regulation line piping, control technology, engineering and commissioning.

Typical application: Tunnel kilns and high-temperature processes in the brick and ceramics industry.

Technical Details Performance: up to 100 kW per burner Control range: 1:10 Auto-ignition: from 750 °C oven chamber temperature Gas pressure: 50 to 100 mbar Air pressure: 50 to 100 mbar Fuels: natural gas, liquefied gas, hydrogen and special gases Hydrogen compatibility: up to 100 % H₂ Materials: high-quality stainless steels and SiSiC flame tube

The costs are calculated project-specifically based on burner type, output, quantity, execution, and required scope of delivery. SKS supplies both individual burners and complete burner groups.

The implementation time depends on the scope of the project, quantity, and integration effort. Series burners can be provided on short notice, while complete burner systems are planned and manufactured on a project-specific basis.
