The Webster Twister Multi-Fuel Burner is a fully modulating register-style burner designed to optimize aggregate drying in asphalt plants and rotary drying applications. Engineered for fuel efficiency, flame stability, and flexible fuel operation, the Twister series is a reliable solution for counterflow and drum mix asphalt plants, as well as various mineral and aggregate drying processes.
Optimized Combustion for Superior Performance
The Twister Multi-Fuel Burner features an open-fired register-style design that allows precise flame shaping to match the combustion zone. This reduces material impingement and helps maintain lower carbon monoxide (CO) levels. By adjusting the register vanes with a servo or linkage system, operators can fine-tune combustion settings quickly during start-up or mix transitions.
With an integral combustion fan and low horsepower requirements, the Twister burner provides a compact, energy-efficient solution. Optional Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) further enhance turndown control, reduce fuel consumption, and improve overall system performance.
Fuel Versatility for Maximum Flexibility
The Twister Multi-Fuel Burner is designed to burn multiple fuels separately or simultaneously, offering operational flexibility. It can operate with:
- Natural gas and LP gas
- No. 2 fuel oil through LP gas
- Waste oils
- Low-BTU gases
- All commercially available fuel oils
For oil-fired applications, the compressed air atomization system ensures clean and efficient combustion, reducing emissions and enhancing burner reliability.
