Burner Types We Service Across the UK

Forced Draught Burners  

Forced draught burners use a combustion air fan to deliver air to the burner head at controlled pressure and velocity  providing consistent, stable combustion across a wide firing range. Found across a huge range of industrial process applications from industrial boilers and heat treatment furnaces to powder coating ovens and food production equipment. We service all major forced draught burner manufacturers including Weishaupt, Riello, Nu-Way, Baltur, Cuenod, Bentone, and Wayne.

Nozzle Mix Burners

Nozzle mix burners mix gas and air at the burner nozzle immediately prior to combustion — providing excellent flame stability and a compact, high-intensity flame. Common in industrial furnaces, kilns, and process heating applications requiring precise, localised heat delivery. We service and commission nozzle mix burners from Eclipse, Maxon, Hauck, Stordy, Flynn, Lanemark, Faber, and all other major manufacturers.

Line Burners

Line burners deliver uniform heat across a wide, flat flame — ideal for continuous process applications including conveyor ovens, tunnel ovens, web dryers, and sheet processing equipment. We service, commission, and certify line burner systems across UK food production, paper and print, textile, and surface treatment industries.

Radiant Tube Burners

Radiant tube burners fire into a closed ceramic or metallic tube, transferring heat by radiation without direct contact between combustion gases and the product. Essential in atmosphere-controlled furnaces, annealing lines, galvanising baths, and heat treatment applications where product contamination must be avoided. We service radiant tube burner systems from Schwank, Space-Ray, Roberts Gordon, Ambirad, and all major process furnace manufacturers.

Atmospheric Burners

Atmospheric burners use the natural draught created by the flue system to draw combustion air — simple, robust, and widely used in commercial and light industrial heating, some food production equipment, and smaller process applications. We service atmospheric burner systems of all types across the UK

Premix Burners

Premix burners mix gas and air upstream of the combustion head — delivering very precise air/fuel ratios and extremely clean, low-emission combustion. Common in food production ovens, pharmaceutical process equipment, and low-NOx applications where emission compliance is critical. We service and commission premix burner systems from Polidoro, Dreizler, Selas, Elco, and other leading manufacturers.

Pulse Combustion Burners

Pulse combustion systems fire in rapid, controlled bursts — delivering exceptionally high heat transfer rates and outstanding thermal efficiency. Used in specialist drying, food production, and high-intensity process heating applications.

Dual Fuel Burners — Gas and Oil

Dual fuel burners provide flexibility to fire on either natural gas or oil  providing operational resilience and fuel cost management options. We service dual fuel systems from Weishaupt, Nu-Way, Riello, Baltur, and all major manufacturers, carrying out full commissioning and certification on both fuel trains.

LPG Burner Systems

Where natural gas is unavailable — common at rural UK industrial sites — LPG-fired process burner systems provide the same combustion performance on bottled or bulk LPG supply. We service, commission, and certify LPG process burner installations across the UK under CP42 regulations.

Industrial Ovens and Process Equipment We Service

Powder Coating Curing Ovens

Powder coating curing ovens use precisely controlled gas-fired heat to fuse powder coating materials onto metal substrates — typically at temperatures between 160°C and 200°C. Temperature uniformity across the oven load is critical to finish quality.

 A poorly maintained process burner produces uneven cures, orange peel, outgassing, and significant product reject rates. We service batch ovens, conveyor ovens, monorail ovens, and custom process configurations. We cover all oven manufacturers and all major burner brands fitted to powder coating equipment.

Spray Booth Make-Up Air Heating Systems

Spray booth gas-fired make-up air burners heat the incoming air supply to maintain booth temperature and air velocity during paint and coating application. We service and repair spray booth make-up air heating systems from all major booth manufacturers including Junair, Blowtherm, Col-Met, Saima, USI, Global, and bespoke UK fabricators. Emergency response available 24/7 nationwide.

Bakery and Food Production Ovens

We service and maintain all types of gas-fired bakery and food production oven across the UK including tunnel ovens (direct and indirect-fired, single and multi-zone), deck ovens, rack and reel ovens, travelling tray ovens, impingement ovens, and proofing and retarding equipment with gas-fired heat.

Industrial Dryers

We service and maintain all types of gas-fired industrial dryer including rotary dryers, fluid bed dryers, spray dryers, conveyor and belt dryers, flash dryers, infrared and combination dryers, and agricultural and grain dryers.

Heat Treatment Furnaces

We service burner systems on all types of heat treatment furnace including batch furnaces, continuous furnaces, car bottom furnaces, rotary hearth furnaces, and bell furnaces — working on burner systems from Eclipse, Hauck, Maxon, Nu-Way, and all other major furnace burner manufacturers.

Kilns

We service gas-fired kiln burner systems across the UK — including tunnel kilns, periodic kilns, shuttle kilns, roller hearth kilns, and specialist firing equipment for ceramics, advanced technical ceramics, refractory products, and specialty materials.

Thermal Oxidisers and Afterburners

We service, commission, and certify gas burner systems on thermal oxidisers and regenerative thermal oxidisers (RTOs) across the UK — providing emission control compliance for spray finishing, powder coating, chemical processing, and other solvent-using industries.

Laundry and Textile Processing Equipment

We service process burner systems on all major laundry equipment brands — including tunnel finishers, tumble dryers, flatwork ironers, calenders, and stenters across commercial laundries, healthcare linen services, and textile manufacturing operations.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Process Heating

We work with process heating equipment in chemical manufacturing, API production, solvent recovery, and specialist chemical processing environments across the UK — to the highest standards of burner maintenance, combustion control, and safety documentation.

Our Industrial Process Burner Services in Full

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) Contracts

Structured annual and periodic process burner maintenance programmes for UK manufacturers — tailored to your production schedules, regulatory requirements, and site-specific equipment. Full burner strip, inspection, clean, and reassembly. Ignition system testing. Flame safeguard relay and safety interlock testing. Gas valve testing.

 Combustion analysis and efficiency tuning. Refractory and combustion chamber inspection. Gas pressure verification. Full written service report with combustion analysis data on every visit. PUWER-compliant service documentation and HSE-ready records.

Emergency Fault Diagnosis and Repair — 24/7 Nationwide

Our engineers carry comprehensive diagnostic equipment and a wide range of commonly required spare parts — maximising the chance of a first-visit repair. Common faults we diagnose and repair: ignition failure and lockout, flame instability, UV scanner and flame detector faults, gas valve failure, flame safeguard relay faults (Honeywell, Siemens, Kromschroeder, Dungs, Fireye, Autoflame), combustion air fan failure, modulation control faults, refractory damage, gas pressure and proving system faults, BMS integration faults.

Combustion Analysis and Efficiency Optimisation

Full combustion performance analysis  measuring CO2, O2, CO, and flue gas temperature, calculating thermal efficiency, identifying excess air levels, and tuning burners to optimal performance. The difference between a poorly tuned burner at 72% thermal efficiency and a properly tuned burner at 91% represents significant savings for continuous-operation process equipment.

Commissioning and RecommissioningNew installations, equipment relocations, production line changes, and post-maintenance restarts — we commission and recommission gas-fired process burners across the UK, setting gas pressures, calibrating combustion to specification, verifying full safety interlock operation, and certifying the installation as safe and compliant.
