Application:
Anodising |
|
|
|
 |
As a significant
consumer of process tank
heating energy,
anodising has been shown
to gain important
benefits from the use of
Lanemark process burner
technology. TX burner
tank heating systems
offer
heating efficiencies
commonly in excess of
80% – typically
providing energy savings
of 25% or more
compared to alternative
indirect steam or hot
water systems.
Operating on either
natural or propane gas, Lanemark TX burners
deliver from 45 kW to
730 kW heat
input and, providing
‘point of use’ heating,
are fitted directly to
individual process
tanks. Accurate
temperature control of
each process stage is
maintained and TX burner
systems offer a rapid
response
to changes in process
demand – in marked
contrast to alternative
heating systems such as
centrally
generated steam, high
pressure hot water and
thermal oil systems. |

Application:
Brewing |
|
|
|
 |
The high operating
efficiencies available
from Lanemark brewery
vessel heating systems
offer
distinct advantages to
the growing number of
local brewers who
extensively use TX small
diameter
immersion tube burner
systems in vessel
capacities from 5 to 80
UK barrels (8 to 130
hectolitres).
Lanemark burners operate
through the wall of both
brewing coppers and hot
liquor tanks into
submerged tubular heat
exchangers from 1½” to
6” n.b., providing heat
inputs from 15 kW to
700 kW. In many cases,
these are arranged in a
helical coil, which not
only matches the
standard
shape of many tanks that
are used in the
industry, but also
minimises intrusion into
their capacity.
Accuracy of control is a
key consideration behind
the specification of
Lanemark systems with
optional
modulating
temperature/gas input
controls allowing the
brewer to maintain
optimum rolling boil
brewing temperature.
Importantly, the use of
gas – both natural and
propane – presents
distinct
economic benefits
compared to other forms
of energy such as
electricity or steam fed
boiler
systems. |

Application:
Cleaning in Place - CIP |
|
|
|
 |
The benefits of ‘point
of use’ heating can be
fully realised in
‘cleaning in place’
applications – typically
used in the food
processing and
manufacturing sector –
with Lanemark burner
systems. Heating
cleaning solutions to an
optimum temperature and
then maintaining a high
level of control are
objectives that are
fully met by the
Lanemark TX range
design, with a long list
of proven installation
examples worldwide.
All major parts,
including burner
housing, gas train and
submerged tubular heat
exchanger –
which is designed to minimise intrusion into
the tank – can be
constructed from
stainless steel if
required. Compared with
centralised boiler-based
systems, heat losses are
significantly minimised
with efficiency levels
in excess of 80%
typically achieved. The
result is the optimum
and precise
distribution of heated
solution to locations
where cleaning
activities are required. |

Application:
Crop Drying |
|
|
|
 |
The wide versatility of
process heating
requirements demanded by
the crop drying sector
are efficiently
met by Lanemark Midco
burner systems. When
installed directly in
the main
air-distribution system
of a crop drying
facility, their modular
design offers major
advantages to equipment
manufacturers in
this specialist sector.
Capable of offering
turndown ratios of up to
30:1, accurate
temperature control is
maintained providing
the optimum blend of
heat and humidity –
which can impact on both
condition and colour of
finished
product – all fully
achievable with Lanemark
Midco burner systems.
Typically firing
up-steam of the main air
circulation fan, using
either natural gas or
propane and with
characteristic short
flame lengths, no
additional air source is
required. They are
particularly suited to
meeting the wide range
of application needs of
crop drying and similar
production sectors. |

Application:
Industrial Bottle
Washing |
|
|
|
 |
It is vital that heating
systems associated with
industrial bottle
washing operations are
both highly
controllable and
efficient to ensure that
accurate and reliable
cleaning results are
achieved. These
are requirements that
are met by Lanemark TX
burner systems which
have been used
extensively
throughout the UK and
Europe specifically for
the heating of washing
liquid supply tanks.
‘Point of use’
application offers
distinct economic
advantages over
centrally generated
heating
alternatives – such as
hot water or steam –
whilst individual tank
heating controls enable Lanemark
burner systems to
quickly and accurately
respond to specific
process demand
requirements. TX small
diameter immersion tube
burner systems readily
achieve operating
efficiencies of over 80%
and are
individually designed to
meet the needs of each
specific application |

Application:
Ovens & Dryers |
|
|
|
 |
A wide range of metal
finishing processes,
including the drying and
curing of components, in
all types
of painting
applications, depends
significantly upon
effective oven heating.
The need to process
the maximum number of
components within a
given time frame,
thereby maximising
operational
efficiency, is also a
key consideration which
needs to met by a
process heating system.
The adaptability of Lanemark FD burners and
their high levels of
control capability,
offer marked
advantages across the
full range of process
air heating activities
associated with product
finishing.
Operating using either
natural gas or propane,
they bring distinct
benefits compared with
alternative
heat sources. Turndown
ratios of up to 30:1 are
achievable, enabling
extremely accurate
temperature
control, ensuring that
Lanemark burner systems
respond quickly and
efficiently to changes
in process
demand.
With drying and curing
operations often central
to manufacturing
processes that require
high quality
product finishing, Lanemark burners have
much to offer as has
been demonstrated in a
long list of
installation examples,
both in the UK and
around the world. |

Application:
Product Finishing -
Pretreament |
|
|
|
 |
Lanemark TX tank heating
burner systems provide
the key to high quality
product finishing,
TX burners are available
with heat inputs from 45
kW to 730 kW operating
in small diameter
immersion
tube heat exchangers
from 1½” to 6” n.b. For
lower heat input
requirements, packaged
TRX burners
– where the burner, gas
train and control system
are located in a common
unit to simplify site
installations – are
available with a maximum
heat input of 45 kW.
Individual tank heating
control offers
particular advantages
given the diversity of
pretreatment
processes used
throughout industry.
This point of use
application is suited to
both newbuild and
retrofit operations –
the latter being a
highly advantageous
alternative to
centralised steam, high
pressure water
generation or thermal
oil systems. This means
that all pretreatment
processes such
as caustic degreasing,
hot water rinsing and
zinc, iron or manganese
phosphate applications,
can
gain from the Lanemark
TX and TRX high
efficiency gas burner
system technology. |

Application:
Rotational Moulding |
|
|
|
 |
Because rotational
oulding depends upon
the efficient heating of
plastic polymer
granules, accurate
heating control is
fundamental. The quality
and consistency of wall
thickness that needs to
be
achieved for each
moulding is closely
linked to the optimum
transition of material –
from powder,
through liquid and then
to gel. In turn, this
calls for a heating
system which is highly
controllable and
which provides excellent
turndown
characteristics.
The Lanemark FD burner
range is
well-established in this
context delivering
accurate heat input
control at all stages of
the moulding process
from initial warm up to
the maintenance of the
required
final process
temperature. As new,
higher specification
materials are introduced
this capability
becomes even more
important.
Offering marked benefits
compared to alternative
heat sources, such as
electrical or
radiant-based
systems Lanemark’s
equipment design and
support service is
proven in a long list of
installations,
meeting the precise
heating needs of this
specialist manufacturing
sector. |
