Burner Technology
Apply the flame in a form suited to the part. FTS matches round Cirqual® and linear burner adaptations to different part geometries, equipment arrangements, and surface treatment requirements, with Cirqual® technology also used in flame deflashing.
FTS BURNER TECHNOLOGY
FTS Technologies produces state of the art burner technologies, custom matched to our customers applications to provide the most energy efficient, high quality surface treatment on the market. This includes a variety of round (Cirqual) and Linear burners.
Cirqual® Burner
The Cirqual® burner produces a circular flame for treating complex three-dimensional parts. Its flame pattern helps reach around edges and parting lines, supporting applications where changes in part shape affect access to the surface. It is used within FTS flame treatment and deflashing systems.
The burner uses a modular aluminum construction and a robot mounting bracket that incorporates ignition and flame-safety controls. Mounting offset can be adjusted to suit the equipment arrangement and access to the part. These features allow the burner to be incorporated into an application-specific robotic process.
Round burner sizes include 1 in (25.4 mm), 1.5 in (38.1 mm), and 3 in (76.2 mm). Depending on the application and burner configuration, options include robot-mounted, stationary-mounted, and handheld use. A modified Cirqual burner is used in the Cirqual®iQ handheld system.
Linear Burners
FTS linear burners deliver flame along an elongated burner face for surface treatment. Burner length can be configured around the treatment area, providing an option where the process calls for a flame distributed along a line. Their design focuses on consistent flame delivery along the burner length and access for maintenance.
Linear burners are available in lengths up to 72 in (1,828.8 mm), with the configuration selected to suit the treatment area and application.
Size and mounting options
The round burners are 1”, 1.5” and 3”, robotic or stationary mounted including handheld options. Linear burners available up to 72”.
1 inch = 25.4 millimeters.
