The JETFLEX burner (22) which can be suspended from a trolley (18) and running
on rails (16) as shown above or installed on a floor trolley - is as standard fed with
primary air from a VFD controlled air source (13) which can be a fan or Blower. The
VFD controlled primary air source shall be connected to the emergency power sys-
tem, so that in event of power failure the primary air fan or blower can operate at
reduced capacity and provide cooling air for the kiln burner.

Page 8 of 42
In case a project includes a fixed speed primary air source, then a special emer-
gency air fan (14+15) is recommended to ensure cooling of burner in event of
power failure.
The total primary air flow is measured by a flow transmitter at the inlet side for Pri-
mary air fans. For blowers the flow will be calculated as:
∆𝑄𝑄𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 ∆𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻
𝑄𝑄𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹= ∙ (𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 − 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 ) + 𝑄𝑄𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 ⇒ 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 = (𝑄𝑄𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 − 𝑄𝑄𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 + 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 ) ∙
∆𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 ∆𝑄𝑄𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵
Primary air pressure is measured by a transmitter in the duct upstream of the

burner and by pressure gauges placed downstream of axial and radial valve.
It is recommended to install two openings for Pitot tube measurement in the piping
between the air source and the burner. This will enable a verification of the fan inlet
flow measurement of blower rpm/flow curve.
The primary air is supplied through (17) and divided into, respectively, axial and
swirl air via distribution pipe (19) and controlled by individual axial (04) and swirl
(07) air valves. Support pipe and axial & swirl air valves in two individual Annular
channels. A smaller part of the primary air is admitted to the individual Fuel Injec-
tion Unit pipes via cooling hoses (06) valves (05) and ensuring the cooling of inner
pipes and Swirler front plate.
Solid fuel is introduced via the solid fuel inlet piping (12) and solid fuel hose. Up-
stream the solid fuel hose, a slide gate valve (11) for maintenance safety must be
installed.
The axial position of the JETFLEX burner (22) can be adjusted in horizontal as well
as in vertical direction by means of burner trolley (18). The neutral position of the
kiln burner is normally 0,25m inside hot kiln (for grate coolers) and from that posi-
tion the burner can be moved +/- 0.75m.
Pipes for adjustment might need to be inserted or removed for primary air and solid
fuel connections when the axial position is to be changed. However, in most cases
the primary air connection have been made flexible (20) so that it won't be neces-
sary to stop the burner and remove or insert pipe sections.
Solid fuel connection (12) are often designed with fixed pipe sections for axial posi-
tioning. This repositioning requires either a production stop (if only fuel is coal, pet
coke or Anthracite) or that fuel is switched to a standby fuel like oil or gas if such
standby fuel is included in the project. However, a telescopic solid fuel connection,
which can be adjusted during solid fuel firing, is within FLSmidth´s product range
and can be installed if needed.
Gas and oil burners (08) as well as ignition gas burner and flame scanner are con-
nected with flexible hoses and wires and are designed for the axial movement on
+/- 0,75m but care must be taken during adjustment so that these hoses and wires
will not be damaged on sharp and/or fixed objects.
A two piece movable insulated closing plate assembly (2) prevents the entry of
false air between JETFLEX burner (22) and kiln hood door (23) to the combustion

zone. The closing plate assembly also ensures personal safety by preventing hot
clinker dust and secondary air to be expelled to burner platform under upset kiln
conditions.

The JETFLEX burner is a fixed unit without any movable pipes. Only adjustments to
be made on the kiln burner itself is to control the distribution between axial (06),
swirl (08) and cooling air for protection pipes (09). The distribution adjustment to
be carried out with valves, see section 2.1.

Axial air is admitted through the annulus between burner pipe and Swirl air pipe.
Swirl air is introduced through the Swirl air pipe (06) either in a duct or in a sepa-
rate annulus channel if gas firing is included. The inclined slots on the Swirler front
plate (03) induce a swirling action to the air before leaving the burner tip. The Axial
air and Swirler front plates (02+03) is supplied with a number of small holes for
cooling air. The Axial air and Swirler Front Plate is bolted on an internal support
plate for easy replacement.

In the centre of the JETFLEX burner, there is a fuel injection unit consisting of the
different fuel injections and flame control. Depending upon the specific configura-
tion, the centre of the JETFLEX burner may have a gas burner, protective tubes for
oil and/or ignition gas burner, fibre optic flame scanner as well as separate tubes
for injection of solid fuels. See plant specific configuration sketch in section 1.2.

The JETFLEX burner is shown with solid fuel injection and additional pipes for Oil
burner, Igniter and Flame scanner as an example. See section 1.2 for actual config-
uration for this contract.
The features for manual burner adjustment are:
• Axial & Swirl air can be controlled by adjusting air valves (04+05).
JETFLEX kiln burner
70043045
Page 13 of 42
• Swirl air ratio can be further increased by partly closing axial air valve (04).
This could be necessary when heating up from cold conditions or when firing
Solid Alternative Fuels.
Axial air is also cooling air for burner pipe so axial air valve (04) shall never
be closed to less than 25% during heating up and not less than 50% during
operation. Normally the axial air valve will be 100% open for both heating up
and operation.
For adjustment of swirl air valve see operation section
• Cooling of the Swirl Air nozzle and front plate is done through adjustment of
the Swirl air valve (05). Swirl air valve shall be kept minimum 15% open in
order to secure sufficient air flow to keep the swirl air front clean and cooled.
• Cooling of Solid fuel pipe is adjusted from the valve located on Cooling outlet
manifold (05).
• During firing with solid fuels the cooling air flow must be stopped by closing
valve on manifold (05). If cooling air supply isn't stopped during solid fuel in-
jection then increased wear in solid fuel pipe will be seen, especially near the
cooling air inlet, but also all the way out to the tip.
Cooling air connection is fitted with a check valve (06) which only allow flow
in direction towards solid fuel pipe. This will prevent solid fuel particles en-
tering the primary air channels in the kiln burner, in case the cooling air
valve is forgotten to be closed during solid fuel firing. The check valve is a
safety provision which must be kept installed and maintained.
• Separate valves (08) for cooling for Igniter, Flame scanner & Oil/Gas burner
• See separate instructions for adjustment possibilities on the liquid fuel

lances, if any.
NOTICE
Failure to Solid Fuel Pipe.
When switching to operation on liquid or gaseous fuels then the solid
fuel pipe could risk being damaged or blocked with clinker dust and oil
droplets if cooling air is not provided constantly.
Instead of keeping the conveying air blower on, then primary air can
be tapped via the cooling air outlet manifold. This will reduce the oper-
ation and maintenance cost for the solid fuel conveying system and im-
prove fuel economy and emissions. Make sure the valve for cooling the
Solid fuel pipe is opened latest 15 minutes after shutting down the
solid fuel conveying air
During heating up from cold kiln it is acceptable to add a minimum of
cooling air to the solid fuel pipe for the first 1 hour. After that cooling
air to solid fuel pipe must be increased to 75-100%.

5.0 Operation
5.1 JETFLEX burner functionality

The JETFLEX burner is designed to be very flexible regarding types of fuels used
and regarding flame shape adjustment facilities.
With the adjustment possibilities available on the JETFLEX, the burner can provide
the desired flame (short or long, sharp or soft, wide or narrow, and all intervening
combinations) required for coping with the different burning conditions and fuels
used.
Therefore a correctly adjusted JETFLEX burner will solve most burning problems,
except for operational problems not related to flame shape or flame adjustment.
These are problems such as chemistry, homogeneity of raw meal, ovality of kiln
shell, use of not suitable lining bricks and various other factors.

primary air
Swirl air Internal External

Figure 5.1 – Flame shape Figure
• The JETFLEX is designed with a fixed nozzle area for both axial and swirl air.
Primary air pressure and Primary air flow is normally controlled by VFD on
the Fan or on the Blower, but fixed speed fan with inlet vane control is also
an option.
• Increasing the Primary air Flow/Pressure will enhance entrainment and mix-
ing of secondary air into the flame and will therefore make the flame shorter
and sharper. Reducing Flow/Pressure will increase the combustion time and
will make the flame longer and lazier. Further flame shape control is done on
respectively the Axial and Swirl valves.
• Primary air pressure is monitored by a pressure transmitter placed on the

primary air duct upstream of the burner.
• Primary airflow is normally monitored by a flow meter placed at the fan inlet
or for blowers calculated as a function of motor frequency.
JETFLEX kiln burner
70043045
Page 16 of 42
• The Primary airflow nozzles are inclined in a 30° angle this will allow hot sec-
ondary air to pass through to the combustion zone and contribute to a better
ignition and faster combustion especially for solid fuels.
• Increasing primary airflow will increase the burner momentum.
• There is a lower limit for how much the air flow can be reduced due to the
cooling requirements for the burner pipe. However to obtain an acceptable
flame shape the minimum air flow required will normally be considerably
higher than the flow required for cooling. It is however important to empha-
sise that neither axial air valve nor the swirl air valve never must be closed
completely during heating up and operation.
Axial air valve will normally always be 100% open during operation. If no
swirl air is wanted then never close the valve more than to 15% open. At
that opening rate the swirl impact on flame shape is very limited and swirl
front plate will still be sufficient cooled.
• Primary air swirl will generate a faster rate of ignition of the fuel due to in-
creased recirculation of hot gases in the flame core. A shorter, wider and
more stable flame will be generated at increased swirl air flow.
• Burner's axial position in kiln may change the burning conditions in the kiln
as hot air from the cooler could interfere with flame positioning. Before first
light up, the burner should be positioned as close as possible to the kiln cen-
tre axis. The burner tip should be placed in an axial position corresponding to
approximately 0.25 m inside the kiln hot point. This position should then be
clearly marked on the railings for the trolley and on the burner trolley for the
horizontal and vertical position.
• If the settings are changed during operation, it will always be possible to

bring the burner back to the original position with the help of these mark-
ings, even during hot kiln conditions.
5.1.2 Primary air calculations

As described in section 5.1.1 there is a close relation between primary air pressure
and flow. The combined effect of primary air pressure and flow can be expressed as
primary air amount, which is then multiplied by nozzle velocity and divided by ther-
mal burner output (N/MW).
This relation is expressed as the primary air momentum G, which can also be ex-
pressed as
G = L p × C [%m / s ]
Lp = Primary air, percentage of theoretical combustion air requirement [%]
C = Primary air velocity at the nozzle tip, m/s.
Calculation of Primary air percentage and momentum can be done by the spread
sheet supplied with this instruction.

5.2 Pre-operational check
NOTICE
Check the following prior to lighting-up
• For the first light up, check protective interlocking, see separate electrical
documentation.
• The position of the JETFLEX burner in the kiln.
• That all flexible connections are intact and properly connected.
• The manual valves upstream the connected flexible connections are open.
For flexible connections not connected to the kiln burner make sure that the
first manual valve upstream the flexible connection is closed and secured.
•
• Note the position of the cooling air valve for the solid fuel pipe, and check if
solid fuel conveying air blower is in operation or not.
If the solid fuel conveying air blower is in operation then the cooling air valve
must be closed (typical when restarting the kiln burner under hot conditions,
kiln inlet >750°C).
If solid fuel conveying air blower is not in operation then it is recommended
to open the cooling air valve from the very beginning of heating up. If the
cooling air flow has a negative impact on heating up flame then throttle air
valve until flame isn't affected anymore. It can be accepted to have the cool-
ing air valve closed for the first hour of heating up from cold conditions, and
then it must be opened partly over the heating up period and finally to be
kept in the range from 75-100% open.
• The kiln oxygen meter has been cut in and that full functionality is ensured.
• External interlocking fulfilled, for details, see electrical documentation.

During lighting up of a cold kiln, the burner settings might be different from the
settings during operation.
Local conditions will dictate the adjustments of the burner, and this can vary from
installation to installation. However it is normal to use a reasonably hard flame
when starting the JETFLEX burner in a cold kiln. This means the primary air mo-
mentum is rather high with respect to the low start up fuel flow when starting the
burner, giving a short and hard flame.
NOTICE
To keep the burner pipe cooled however axial air valve should be at
least 25% opened as soon as the flame is stable and before the kiln
gets hot
This high pressure primary air shall then be throttled on the axial and Swirl air
channels by using the axial and swirl air valves. If the flame is stable the valve po-
sitions can be kept otherwise adjust accordingly.
When using oil for lighting up it is important to keep a relative high air pressure in
the oil burner protection pipe since this will enable a relative high air velocity pass
through the oil burner protection pipe. This will keep the burner front clean from oil
dripping and droplets until the kiln is hot.
JETFLEX kiln burner
70043045
Page 19 of 42
In order to keep a low pressure in the axial and swirl air channel and a high pres-
sure in the oil burner protection pipe it will be necessary to adjust the primary air
fan to a relative high pressure. This high pressure primary air shall then be throt-
tled down in the axial and swirl air channels by using the axial and swirl air valves.
It will then be possible to adjust the air pressure in the oil burner protection pipe.
As the heating up of the kiln progresses the fuel amount is increased in order to fol-
low the recommended heating up curve and primary air flow and pressure is in-
creased as well to maintain a good flame. Due to the higher fuel input however pri-
mary air momentum may be reduced. The flame shape must always be adjusted
according to visual inspection of the flame. Flame shall not be in contact with coat-
ing or lining during heating up in order to improve lifetime of kiln lining.
NOTICE
Following procedure depending on installation setup can be used for
lightning up a cold-state kiln

5.3.1 Blower
Blower design : ( 400 mbar and 700 mbar)
• Start the blower on minimum speed . Once the blower is in operation imme-
diately open the blower outlet valve to the Axial air channel while closing the
Swirl air bypass valve.
• Adjust the blower speed so the axial air pressure is {~220-350 mbar}
• Adjust the Swirl air valve so the Swirl air channel pressure is approximately
(~150-180 mbar).
•
• Blower speed can further be increased or decreased depending on burner fir-
ing.
NOTICE
Axial air valve should be closed only if the kiln is completely cooled
down, and must be opened as soon as the flame is stable and before
the kiln starts to warm up 
NOTICE
If coal conveying air is shut-off then Primary air cooling of the solid fuel
pipe should be turned on until the kiln is completely cooled down
NOTICE

5.3.2 Common for all systems during Lightning up
NOTICE
When primary air is in operation and the above pressures have been
established the following steps must be performed 
• Start the ignition gas burner – See separate Instruction manual - or use an
alternative approach to generate an open flame in front of the burner tip.
• Start the oil or gas burner. See separate instruction manual.
• If the flame extends upwards towards the ceiling, primary airflow must be
increased. However, an excessive increase of the primary airflow must be
avoided since this will disturb the stability of the flame.
• For coal fired burners ensure that the coal blower is not in operation but that
the cooling air valve is open soon (max 1 hour) after the flame is ignited.
• After the flame has stabilized (4-8 hours for oil, 1-2 hours for gas), the igni-
tion gas burner can be extinguished. At the same time, the ignition gas
burner should be slightly retracted to protect its nozzle from dust and heat.
• As the temperature in the kiln increases, primary air flow can also be in-
creased gradually in combination with increased fuel flow. The air flow how-
ever must always be high enough to prevent flame impingement against the
lining. Axial air valve must now be opened to at least 50%.
• The Swirl air pressure is kept constant, as the axial air amount and pressure
is increased.
For 1 fan systems this is done by reducing the opening of Swirl air
valve as the primary air fan outlet pressure and flow is increased.
For 2 fan systems the Axial air pressure and flow is increased and the
Swirl air fan should normally not require much adjusting during the
heat up.
For Blower and fan system the initial heat up is as 1 fan system, after
the blower is started the adjustments are done as a 2 fan system.
• The optimum setting must be determined on a trial-and-error basis.
• When the kiln lining is hot, coal firing can be started i.e. with a kiln inlet
temperature around 800-900°C. Gradually as the coal flame is stabilized, the
oil or gas burner can be stopped.
JETFLEX kiln burner
70043045
Page 22 of 42
• For low volatile coal (anthracite, low-volatile bituminous or pet-coke) a small

amount of support fuel (oil or gas) is recommended until the secondary air
temperature is >650-700°C. The oil or gas heat up fuel should not be
stopped before this.
JETFLEX kiln burner
70043045
Page 23 of 42
5.4 Operation
Adjust the flame shape when the kiln burning zone is hot enough to support the
flame. The flame should then be made longer to give a more uniform thermal load
on the lining. Use the following default settings at first start
Axial air valve 100% open, normally

Swirl air valve 30-90% open
These settings however are preliminary and should be reviewed after inspection of
the flame shape. The best settings are found by using the enclosed interface for
calculating the flame momentum, visual inspection in the kiln and monitoring the
kiln shell temperatures, which normally reflects the formation of coating, when the
lining is in good shape. The goal is to create an even distributed kiln shell tempera-
ture in the burning zone area without getting ring formations or naked lining in the
inlet and outlet of the burning zone.
For regulation of the fuel input rates, see separate instruction manual for oil burner
and/or gas burner and coal dosage equipment.
Once the kiln is in normal operation, the flame should be monitored very closely.
Impingement of the flame against the lining must never occur since this may have
a disruptive effect on the coating, which in turn may entail a too high kiln shell
temperature and a reduced life span of the lining. If for example the flame is point-
ing too much upwards and therefore will be too close to the kiln shell, the position
of the JETFLEX burner should be adjusted to move the flame down towards the kiln
charge. See separate instruction for burner suspension.
Primary air momentum and swirl must be adjusted to make the flame hard and sta-
ble.
The optimum burner settings depend on the fuel. The table below can be used as a
guide line for initial adjustment.

*Swirl air pressure according to specific setup 250, 400 or 700 mBar. Without con-
veying air
If the secondary temperature is low (below 800-900 °C) extra swirl is needed to
ensure early ignition of the fuel.
The mentioned settings are provisional. A final setting can only be made subject to
close monitoring of the flame. Valve for axial air, should normally be kept fully open
during normal operation at all time. To ensure cooling of the JETFLEX burner, it
should never be closed to less than 50% during operation.
NOTICE
Even if the burner is fired with 100% oil or gas, airflow must always be
drawn through the coal duct when the kiln is hot.
For example, this can be done by deploying the conveying air rotary
blower or by establishing a bypass from the primary air fan.
NOTICE
If the coal duct is disconnected during operation, when firing with other
fuels than coal, then the coal slide gate valve installed upstream the
coal hose must be closed.
5.5 Stop of firing

Stop the fuel supply as directed in instruction manuals for oil or gas burner and
solid fuel dosage equipment, respectively.
The primary air fan must not be stopped until purge of the oil burner has been car-
ried out, and before kiln inlet temperature is <200°C.
Separate cooling air provision for solid fuel pipe and gas burner is not necessary
when stopping the kiln burner as long as the primary air for axial and swirl air noz-
zle is continued.
NOTICE
If the kiln is in a hot state, the primary air fan must not be stopped un-
til sufficient cooling of the kiln and cooler has been ensured. If this is
not possible, the emergency cooling air must be started or the burner
must be retracted from the kiln. 

6.1.1 Lubrication
It will not be necessary with regular lubrication for the JETFLEX burner itself. Other
equipment like for example the burner trolley and primary air fan must be lubri-
cated regularly, see separate instructions.
6.1.2 Cleaning
Burner installation
General cleaning on and around the equipment. For extent and requirements, see
separate safety instructions for coal firing (12861-0x).
Burner pipe
Remove deposits from the burner pipe if/when required.
6.1.3 Inspection and adjustment

Burner
When the kiln is under shut down, check that the Burner Front plates are intact and
clean. If air slots are blocked they need cleaning for the air to flow freely. Check if
the nozzles still are circular and/or check that the Front plates are properly at-
tached. Tighten the Allen key bolts (pos. 22) if needed. Replace nozzles if needed.
Check that the JETFLEX burner is correctly positioned in the kiln.
NOTICE
Make sure that all manual fuel isolation valves are closed and pad
locked before any fuel supply connections are taken apart 
6.1.4 Status check

Burner installation
Check that all hoses and expansion joints are intact and in good condition. Check
the tightness of the closing plate at the door.
Make an annually test of the pressure gauges if they measure correct and check the
needle is not stuck. The pressure gauges can be checked by comparing the up-
stream pressure transmitter with the individual Axial and Swirl air pressure gauges
testing one channel at a time insuring open position of before switching over.
Solid Fuel Hose (Figure 2.1 pos.10)

Check for any leaks on a regular daily basis. Check for wear in connection with
every kiln shutdown. It is recommended to rotate the hose 180° around its centre
axis at each kiln stop, in order to distribute the wear over the entire internal sur-
face and thereby increase the lifetime of the hose.
Burner pipe pos.3

Make a visual check to determine if the Refractory has sustained damage. Check
thickness of areas where refractory is assessed to be worn, by drilling a 4mm hole
in an expansion joint near the thin area until burner pipe steel section is reached,
JETFLEX kiln burner
70043045
Page 29 of 42
and measure thickness with a calliper. On a new refractory the thickness is app.
80mm if FLSmidth recommendations have been followed and that leaves app.
30mm refractory over the anchor irons. If the burner pipe refractory shall be able
to last another campaign then there must be minimum 15mm refractory on top of
anchor iron, which means app. 65mm thickness in total.
Solid Fuel inlet & pipe pos.10+14

Check for wear in Solid fuel inlet and Solid Fuel pipe.
The solid fuel inlet has been designed so that the most likely section of wear is
placed outside the burner centre. This allow regular inspection and temporary re-
pair during operation. Especially the section downstream the bend will be exposed
to wear.
The solid fuel pipe inside the burner can only be checked by removing the entire
Fuel injection unit. It is recommended to make this check at each longer kiln stop,
or minimum once a year. Use an ultrasonic thickness gauge and check the entire
pipe length in 30° steps (12xtotal length). Mark any area according to acceptance
criteria below.
Acceptance criteria is that the thinnest measured thickness of the solid fuel pipe
must be minimum 60% of the original thickness (see under section 1.2).
If thinner, pipe must be replaced or alternatively reinforced with a full welded steel
plate on the outside of pipe (if wear only is measured in a limited area) so that total
thickness becomes bigger than original pipe thickness.
Fuel injection unit incl. Swirl Nozzle pos.13, 14+15

Check Fuel injection unit nozzles and Swirl nozzle plate for deformation, wear and
cracks. Replace or clean if necessary.
Swirl air pipe pos.16

If the Refractory of the burner pipe has been severe damaged or after a longer
power cut without cooling, then the condition of the swirl air pipe must be checked.
Air nozzle & Air nozzle Front plate pos. 04 + 12

In connection with reconditioning of the burner pipe, check the condition of the
casting around the air nozzle and Air nozzle Front plate. Also check whether the
nozzle & Front plate is affected by deformations, corrosion and/or cracks.
6.1.5 Replacement of spares

Burner installation
Replace the insulation cord for the closing plate in case of damages. Replace hoses
and expansion joints in case of damages and/or leakage.
Solid Fuel Hose(Figure 2.1 pos.10)

Replace the coal hose in case of wear and/or leakage.
JETFLEX kiln burner
70043045
Page 30 of 42
Burner pipe pos.3

If the visual inspection reveals damage involving a partial exposure of the steel sur-
face, immediate replacement of the burner pipe is recommended. It is recom-
mended to replace the burner pipe in connection with the annual shut down for
maintenance. A complete spare burner pipe unit consisting of burner pipe with air
nozzle assembly and air nozzle tip, including refractory, must always be held availa-
ble at the plant. For replacement of burner pipe, see section 6.1.6.
Swirl air pipe pos.16

If the visual inspection reveals deformations, then replace either a section of the
Swirl air pipe or the entire pipe if necessary.
Solid Fuel inlet & pipe pos.10+14

If the visual inspection of the solid fuel pipe reveals excessive wear, then replace
either a section of the fuel pipe or the entire pipe if necessary.
Air nozzle & Air nozzle Front plate pos. 04 + 12

When reconditioning the burner pipe, the nozzle unit must be replaced if damaged.
A spare unit should always be held available. The spare unit is available in excess
length in order to avoid coinciding welds. It is important that mounting of a new
nozzle is carried out according to following instruction.
NOTICE
A digital spirit leveller with a minimum accuracy of 0.05° in vertical and
horizontal position must be used for assembly.

• Strip off the refractory in a suitable length for nozzle replacement or if nec-
essary due to refractory condition remove it all. Place the burner pipe hori-
zontal so that gasket surface of flange is 90° within +0.05°. Make sure that
the burner pipe is even supported to avoid excessive bending. Placing the
digital spirit leveller in 0° and 90° normally improves instrument accuracy.
• Cut off the old air nozzle with reference to the total burner pipe length.
Burner pipe length must be nominal length ±2 mm, see JETFLEX assembly
drawing. Note that the total length will shrink approximate 2mm after finish-
ing the circumferential weld.
• Ensure that the position of the new air nozzle is identical with the old air
nozzle. Tack weld air nozzle to burner pipe in top and bottom within circum-
ferential tolerances according to Figure 6.2. When the angle for both the ma-
chined gasket surface and the machined nozzle front of the air nozzle is 90°
within ±0.05°, then tack weld with full penetration and approximate 10mm
length. Rotate the burner pipe 90° around its centre axis and tack weld with
full penetration and approximate 30mm weld length, when both flange and
nozzle front is parallel within ±0.05°. Increase the first welds (top and bot-
tom) to 30 mm length and repeat process until a minimum of 8-12 tacks are
placed depending on burner pipe diameter. Always add tack weldings in a
cross pattern, see Figure 6.3.
JETFLEX kiln burner
70043045
Page 32 of 42
Figure 6.3 - Illustration for welding sequence
• After tack welding, check that gasket surface and air nozzle front tip is paral-
lel within +0.05° using the digital spirit leveller. Adjust if necessary.
• Finish the TIG root runs according to detail drawing in cross patterns be-
tween 1-6, 2-5, 3-8, 4-7 etc. according to Figure 6.3. Use the same proce-
dure when finishing the weld.
• After finishing the weld, check that gasket surface and air nozzle front is par-
allel within +0.05° using a digital spirit leveller. Adjust if necessary by heat
treatment. When only one side of the burner pipe is heating up, this side will
expand when heated up and then shrink even more when cooling down.
• Weld on anchor irons and cast new refractory according to separate instruc-
tion.

Air Nozzle Front Plate & Swirler Front Plate
When reconditioning the burner pipe, the air nozzle front plate and swirler front
must be replaced if damaged.

NOTICE
Follow below procedure carefully when replacing Air Nozzle Front Plate
& Swirler Front Plate. A spare Air nozzle front plate & Swirler Front
Plate should always be held available.
• The front plates can be replaced without dismantling the burner pipe if
needed.
• Dismantle the Air nozzle front plate and Swirl front plate by loosening the Al-
len Key bolts one by one in a circular order. Every bolt is turned app. 90-
180° until light resistance is met, then move on to the next bolt until the
Nozzle Front Plate is completely pushed out. The front plate attachment is
JETFLEX kiln burner
70043045
Page 34 of 42
designed so that the Allen key bolts will push the front plate off when un-
tightened. However in cases where heat deformation have made the front
plate bounded, then supplement the push forces with taps from a slide ham-
mer connected to front plate by weld, thread or hook arrangement in order
not to damage the Allen key bolts thread.
If one of the Allen key bolts are stuck and thereby not able to be untight-
ened, then the Allen key bolt head can be drilled off with an ø7mm drill.
Front plate then have to be repaired with a new bolt or replace entire front
plate to a new unit, which will be delivered including new bolts.
Same procedure to be followed when assembling as for dismantling. Remem-

ber to grease the threads with heat resistant grease before assembly. Lim-
ited amount of heat resistant grease can also be added to the outer and in-
ner surfaces in order to reduce friction during assembly. If the Front plates
tends to bind then tap gently with a lead hammer occasionally, in order not
to let the bolt thread take all the load.
• Remove Ceramic sealing cord and replace with new. Apply new one with Loc-
tite super glue (gel) in the groove. It is important to use the gel type since
this will not penetrate the ceramic sealing cord and harden this.
• Apply heat resistant grease on all Allen key bolts before mounting.
• Mounting the Air nozzle front plate, carefully align the Allen key bolts with
the Air Nozzle retainer ring before tightening the Allen key bolts following the
same procedure in a circular order as for disassembling.
• Air Nozzle Front Plate to be tightened in step with torque spanner at 25Nm.
• Mounting the Swirl front plate, carefully align the Allen key bolts with the
Swirler front mounting plate before tightening the Allen key bolts following
the same procedure in a circular order as for disassembling.
• Swirler front plate to be tightened in step with torque spanner at 25Nm.
• If necessary the Air Nozzle Front Plate and Swirler front plate can be re-
moved/replaced before/without removing the burner pipe

If the burner pipe needs to be replaced use following procedure:
Dismantling
• Retract the burner trolley (03) to exact position where the burner tip is just
clear of the kiln doors
• Move a carriage (02) to position under the burner pipe (01) and then lower
the burner pipe to horizontal position by using the burner trolley adjustment
facilities. If necessary insert wooden blocks or similar means until the pipe is
resting on the carriage
JETFLEX kiln burner

Page 37 of 42
• Dismantle the flanged joint between support pipe and burner pipe. The Guide
pin (06) is used orienting the Burner pipe when reassembling
• Establish a gap between the flanges by tightening the fine threaded bolts
(08)
• Retain the burner pipe in its present position, while simultaneously the
burner trolley is moved backwards. As a result, the burner pipe will be re-
leased from the Outer Swirl pipe. Check that a straight pull is being exerted.
NOTICE
Insure a minimum of 45mm contact between trolley wheels and rail
prior to dismantling of burner pipe 
• Remove the old burner pipe
Mounting
• Fit the overhauled/lined burner pipe on a carriage and place it in front of the
burner and fix it in this position. Make sure that one of the two holes in the
burner pipe flange is positioned in line with the two Guide pins (06) provided
on the support pipe flange. If the burner pipe has got a permanent deflection
it can be recommended to rotate the burner pipe 180° with reference to its
previous position, to compensate for the banana shape. By excessive deflec-
tion it is recommended to renew the burner pipe.
• Move the burner trolley forward while making sure that the inner pipes slides
into the burner pipe.
NOTICE
Remember to apply the burner pipe gasket to the flange on the sup-
porting pipe 
• Check once again that one of the two holes on the burner pipe flange is in
line with the pin on the support pipe flange. Continue forward and make sure
that the Outer Swirl Pipe slides into the Outer Swirl Pipe nozzle (07), see Fig-
ure 6.6 and 6.7. When flanges are joined fit the nuts and bolts and tighten
them in a cross pattern.
