Reliable Asphalt Products’ Vulcan Burner
BY AsphaltPro Staff
Reliable Asphalt Products, Shelbyville, Kentucky, is proud to introduce a revolutionary new era in burners, the Vulcan burner. Vulcan burners are a true combination fuel gas and oil burner, capable of running on multiple fuels, simultaneously if required, according to the manufacturer. Other game-changing features include a total air burner with a single motor and a coaxial blower to provide a near-linear fan curve, allowing for more accurate control over air delivery to the burner and less excess air required. The Vulcan burners are available in surface mount and long-nose configurations and in 80 MMBTU, 120MMBTU and 150MMBTU variants making it available for retrofit applications. There are also optional blower mount configurations allowing for the burner to fit into unconventional spaces.
The surface mounted combustion box is double walled and stainless steel, with an air venting system to help cool the unit. Vulcan burners are designed to be low maintenance—the direct driven fan has no belts or pulleys, meaning no misaligned drive belts or adjusting of those components. When maintenance is needed, the Vulcan burner opens completely to allow for easy access.
Vulcan burners come equipped with an over-temperature safety switch for automatic shut down in case of overheating. A second safety switch protects the unit in case the burner and fan/motor sections were to separate while in operation.
The VFD driven motor moves the same amount of air as other burners with larger motors, according to the manufacturer, meaning energy efficiency and cost savings. The fan intake is sound insulated for quieter operation. The adjustable and automated flame shaper can be adjusted while the burner is in operation and is completely profile-able. The burners are competitively priced, energy-efficient and simply designed with minimum moving parts.
