OVEN HEATING
Requirement:
Industrial direct fired combustion equipment to heat backing
plant ovens. The system required efficient burners providing ultimate reliability
and high turndowns to allow for pile up and pile down backing requirements.
Proctor Process Plant
Ltd have been supplying the UK's leading carpet backing machinery manufacturers
with industrial package burners and temperature controllers since 1984. Whether
it is the simple design of P Series XSA burner, or the efficient P Series
MAL or MAR burner, Proctor burners can be found on nearly every carpet backing
plant in the UK and many plants across the world, including areas which require
specialist approvals such as the United States and Canada.

see 'Package Burners' in the products
section.
High output industrial
gas ceramic infra red heaters were designed to deal with the considerable
heat requirements. Specialist support frames were used to allow for uniformity
across the full 4.0 and 5.0m product widths and fuel mixture ratio valves
were used to allow each heater to have variable output capability. The use
of process controllers and non-contact temperature sensors allowed very accurate
and uniform product temperatures.
For further information see ' Infra Red Heat Systems' in the products section.
The system was designed
to pre gel or pre set foam backing prior to entering the oven section of the
backing plant so that air flows from the heater chambers or wind boxes cannot
disturb the surface of the foam.

Heat Systems' in the products section.
A stainless steel steam
vessel was designed and heated by a gas burner firing down a multi pass heat
exchanger submerged in water. Simple safety features, accurate calculations
of heat requirements and high efficiency heat exchangers allow the steam to
be generated safely, quickly and cost effectively.

see ' Tube Firing Systems' in the products
section.
Special burner heads were
developed and installed inside the oven to allow the heat to be directed exactly
where the oven designs required. The temperature accuracy achieved was within
+ / - 1 Degree.
A cast section ribbon
burner was developed to enable a totally straight and uniform flame across
a wide product area. Very accurate air and fuel mixing equipment where incorporated
to allow the length and type of flame to be altered to suit various types
of product requirements.

Requirement: To
replace unreliable bar burners on an Artos backing plant oven.
Compact burners were developed
in conjunction with profiled heater cans to provide reliable heat sources
to both sides of every non standard Artos circulating fan over the full diameter,
thus ensuring uniformity of heat entering the top and bottom wing boxes.
