Prior to the widespread recognition of the immense potential in efficiently heating industrial furnaces, WS pioneered the development of the efficient recuperative burner REKUMAT® with integrated air preheating.
Since its inception, the REKUMAT® has been sold over 100,000 times and has undergone continuous advancements. With decades of experience, a strong inventive spirit, and numerous patents, the Rekumat® stands as the most successful recuperative burner in the world.
Different design options are available in terms of burner capacity, materials used, and combustion technology employed. The implementation of FLOX® technology ensures minimal NOx emissions and exceptional service life.
Following the WS principle, the burners are primarily offered as complete units with control systems and valve sections that have undergone extensive factory testing. This approach simplifies the commissioning process and guarantees maximum efficiency for furnace builders and end customers.
The Rekumat® C burner from the FLOX® series stands out for its incorporation of a high-performance ceramic heat exchanger. This enables the burner to achieve operating temperatures of up to 1,300 °C.
Thanks to the advanced FLOX® combustion technology and extensive expertise gained over many years, the Rekumat® C burner has become one of the most renowned self-recuperative burners worldwide.
The FLOX® burners in the REKUMAT® CS series are equipped with advanced gap current recuperators and SiSiC high-performance ceramics, ensuring excellent temperature resistance. These burners offer superior efficiency, even at extremely high temperatures, resulting in significant energy savings. With cutting-edge technology and the inclusion of "FLOX® inside," these burners guarantee minimal NOx emissions and enhanced fuel flexibility.
The REKUMAT® M series combines established technology with cutting-edge features like FLOX® and adaptable fuel options, aligning with our goal of ensuring all burner series are prepared for "Green Gas" usage. With a track record of tens of thousands of burners in operation, the REKUMAT® M stands out as a dependable, durable, and efficient product with minimal emissions.
WS has once again made a significant advancement in the field of recuperative burners with the introduction of the FLOX® burner REKUMAT® S. The patented gap flow technology has tripled the heat exchanger surface, resulting in exceptional efficiency. The burners, equipped with "FLOX® inside", are able to achieve remarkably low NOx emissions even at high efficiency levels.
The scalability of the recuperator ensures that the burner is always tailored perfectly to the specific application. With efficiencies exceeding 80%, the REKUMAT® S can match the performance of a regenerative burner even at lower outputs.
The REKUMAT® S NT allows for the utilization of highly effective fission current technology, even at furnace chamber temperatures well below 700 °C, ensuring optimal performance. In comparison to traditional burners, the patented gap-flow technology results in a threefold enhancement of heat exchanger surface area, leading to exceptional efficiency. Additionally, the unique design of the burner enables operation with minimal emissions.
The REKUMAT® CR FLOX® burner allows for the initial substoichiometric operation of a recuperative burner through integrated afterburning, paving the way for enhanced efficiency even under extreme temperatures. This breakthrough enables significant energy savings across various furnace configurations. The combination of patented cutting-edge technology and FLOX® ensures minimal NOx emissions and excellent fuel adaptability.
The introduction of the REGEMAT® 250 brought about a significant revolution in the continuous galvanizing lines industry. Its exceptional efficiency and low NOx emissions have rendered downstream exhaust gas treatment unnecessary, even in compliance with the most stringent regulations.
Even to this day, customers who rely on the REGEMAT® 250 are equipped with the utmost readiness for any future developments. This is primarily due to the burner's outstanding performance in meeting all the criteria for "Green Gas Ready" certification. By utilizing recirculating double P-tubes, these systems are well-prepared for the future utilization of alternative fuels, such as green hydrogen.
With a proven track record of over 10 years and thousands of burners in operation, the REGEMAT® 250 stands as the reference technology for customers seeking a highly efficient and future-proof system.
The FLOX® burner REGEMAT® 350 is a self-contained functional unit that eliminates the need for burner pairs commonly seen with regenerator burners. All switching mechanisms are integrated within the compact unit, allowing each burner to operate independently. With an operating range of up to 1,250 °C, the REGEMAT® 350 is ideal for directly heating high-temperature processes like forging furnaces.
Thanks to its high air preheating, the burner achieves maximum energy efficiency and remarkably low NOx emissions due to "FLOX® inside". Additionally, this burner is already prepared for "Green Gas Ready" applications.
The LUVOMAT® burner can also be utilized in situations where preheated air is already available externally, but the FLOX® combustion process is still required. This scenario may arise when the furnace atmosphere does not allow for the operation of recuperator or regenerative burners, such as in substoichiometric operation or in dusty and aggressive furnace atmospheres.
Currently, LUVOMAT® burners have been implemented with a thermal output of approximately 1 MW, but higher outputs are theoretically possible.
Due to the frequently specified external boundary conditions, the requirements for LUVOMAT® burners vary significantly. Therefore, a detailed burner design is always conducted in close coordination with the customer.
