Vulcan Burners Innovative Year 2016.

Its official, The Vulcan burner design has been granted a European Patent! This endorses the Vulcan burner as unique and innovated, in both its design and energy efficient concept.

Vulcan Burners are the leading bespoke combustion burner manufacturer for the UK Asphalt Industry. 2016 has so far been a very exciting year with many new products & services launched and with the demand for such products we will continue to push innovative ideas to the forefront of the industry.

Such products launched this year include the multi-angled, multi-fuelled jet burners to enable maximum production on existing compact plants, the increasingly popular LPG Burner range and also the bespoke CRM site efficiency program system and software, which is ideal for area, group and energy team management.

With the demand of these products and services, it has also proved an exciting second half of the year with the Vulcan Asphalt Group recently relocating to larger premises that will enable the company to grow and meet our innovation targets for these new products & services as well as provide us the facilities to enable the highest standards of research & manufacturing for our products.

As mentioned the multi-angled burner range has proved very popular this year, providing our customers with the ideal solutions to maximise production using the most efficient model of burner to suit their production requirements, where in the past, due to space restrictions, smaller burner models would have been used to which the customer could lose up to 15% of their potential production targets.

The burner range can be tailored and adapted to suit all applications, even in the most restricted of spaces. A Modified right angled V11 design burner has recently been successfully installed at Aggregate Industries Ltd, Redditch Express, where the burner was ordered to replace an old unit that was both inefficient and the customer was struggling with reliability. Not only has the efficiency and reliability massively improved, with the space restrictions in place, the vastly enhanced ease of use and maintenance has been commended by Site Personnel and Management.

With the express site plant being in an indoors environment, the challenge that faced the installation team did not interfere with the customers’ production schedules and did not incur any unwanted downtime, the installation was completed successfully over a weekend with the burner fully commissioned and running on the Monday morning.

Installation & Design Engineer Jonathan Gregory stated, “Both our Client and Installation team were extremely pleased with the burner installation, from the initial site survey that is part of the burner supply package, there were no “unknowns” during the installation and any elements of difficulty had been thoroughly thought through, ensuring that the whole installation went to plan and no delays occurred.”

With the unique design of the Vulcan burner, it provides the Asphalt Plant user an alternative option for high efficient combustion performance for any asphalt plant system. The additional angled feature can be used on any Vulcan burner option from the Oil only to the LPG burner range. Also another advantage to this option is that it ensures the customer, that the plant can work to its maximum capacity if required and the burner unit will have the adequate power to produce high capacity timed tonnages and be able to mix all variety of asphalt mixes from RAP to High temperature mixes.

With 2016 nearly complete, 2017 looks to be another busy year. Vulcan burners are also able to offer different packages to suit the customer’s requirements from finance over a set amount of years, 0% carbon trust loans (T&Cs apply) and bespoke payment plans tailored to suit your requirements.
