Air Products’ latest oxyfuel burner enables glass manufacturers to maintain full production in an aging furnace and avoid downtime during regenerator repairs.
The Cleanfire®ThruPorte™ burner is a quick, cost-effective heating solution that is installed from the underside of an existing furnace port to provide heat where and when it is needed.
