The StarJet continues Hauck’s longstanding
reputation for providing efficient and durable burners for the asphalt
industry. The burner is designed to recirculate the hot gases, providing
flame stability over its wide operating range. This eliminates the need
for refractory ignition tile and combustion chamber. The StarJet can
have the short, bushy flame for drum mixing or a long flame depending on
the application. The burner’s wide turndown is particularly useful when
lower production rates are desired, such as when making cold patch
material.
* Heavy and waste fuel oils require heating and filtration. 90 SSU or less viscosity required.
The StarJet fires all commercial grades of fuel
oil, natural gas, LP, and landfill gas. As a combination burner, the
StarJet will burn any two fuels in combination with the exception of LP
in the liquid state and fuel oil. When these two fuel combinations are
desired, it is necessary to specify the primary fuel and purchase the
separate atomizer set assembly for the standby fuel.
The StarJet also provides greater flexibility in mounting a burner/blower combination on dryer frames in confined spaces. This mounting flexibility is achieved by a 45º air entry available at the 3,
6, 9, or 12 o’clock position, providing a wide range of burner/blower
angle arrangements. The burner air inlet is the same diameter as the
Hauck Turbo Blower outlet. Hauck’s line of standard and high-pressure
direct-drive blowers matched to the StarJet burner simplifies
installation
Flame shaping is achieved by moving the
adjustment lever at the side of the burner. This lever is directly
linked to the adjustable spin vanes. This feature greatly reduces setup
time at initial startup or whenever the plant is relocated and permits
fine tuning when mix changes require a change in flame shape and intensity. The
operator can ensure that flame shape and intensity are always optimal
because fine-tuning can be accomplished in minutes instead of hours.
StarJet fuel manifolds and air systems conform to
the standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The
StarJet burner is fitted with automatic valving and controls to allow
for full flame supervision and optimum compatibility with Hauck
combustion control systems.
