Glass melting and conditioning company SORG has developed new burner holders featuring integrated angle adjustment to make it easier to find the burner’s most efficient setting in light of new regulations.

Stricter furnace emission regulations have resulted in tightly controlled furnace operations. The legislation applies specifically to the burner’s settings because they have the most influence on emissions.

As a result, the burner’s settings and adjustment angle must be continuously monitored.

SORG’s new burner holders are available in two types. The WSH is operated by hand whereas the WSM can be automatically adjusted by motor.

The burner holder’s fulcrum is located inside its head, allowing for its exit point to remain stationary while the burner is vertically or horizontally adjusted. No readjustment, measuring device or tools are required.

WSH burner holders feature manual adjustment of both angles, all of which can be read on scales.

The WSM variant has manual adjustment of the horizontal angle as well as motorised adjustment of the vertical angle via an actuator, so the furnace operator can observe the flame pattern on the furnace monitor at the same time.

Both burner holders are compatible with the following SORG burners: gas burners SBD 221 F2, SBD 231 F2, and oil burners NL 4 and NL 5. The burner holders can also be fitted to models from other manufacturers.
