Rotational mould specialist gains from latest Lanemark process gas burner technology

Romold , manufacturers of plastic spill containment products , is now benefiting from the latest process gas heating technology from Lanemark Combustion Engineering – the rotational moulding operations now undertaken by the Livingston-based company feature a Lanemark FDGA forced draught burner system .
A Lanemark FD30GAN-3 burner , rated at 1,320 kW , and a combustion air fan inlet filter , control system and associated pipework upgrade are all now operational at the site . Replacing and older non-Lanemark burner , the improvement in efficiency was immediately evident , according to the company ’ s Production Planning Manager , Michael Adams –

“ Our old burner would take some 45 minutes to reach the target temperature of 260 ° C , which has now been reduced to just five minutes ,” he says . “ Heat distribution is also very even throughout the chamber which has a direct operational input on the quality of the product that is at the heart of our reputation .”
The Lanemark burner fires through the wall of a Rotospeed machine where a multidirectional arm , that supports the mould , moves as part of the rotational moulding process . The Lanemark installation at Romold has been supplied complete with the burner manufacturer ’ s BurnerCare support package which delivers ongoing operational confidence via a combination of factors that include service agreements , spares supply and engineer support .
“ This facility is a vital part of the production process for a company that plays a major role in its industry in the UK and worldwide ,” concludes Lanemark Sales Director Jeff Foster . “ We are very happy to have enhanced our involvement with Romold with this new installation and believe that it will meet the customer ’ s process heating objectives for many years to come .”
