Lance burner
Self-igniting. Low-maintenance. Durable in continuous and intermittent operation.
The SKS lance burners, models LB42 and LB60, are specifically designed for high-temperature processes, such as use in tunnel kilns in the brick and ceramics industry.
They combine the advantages of high-speed burners with low technical complexity, as they operate without high-voltage electrical ignition or flame monitoring. Thanks to the patented mixture preparation system, reliable re-ignition of the gas-air mixture is guaranteed at furnace temperatures of 750 °C and above.
Fewer components. Greater process reliability.
In conventional burner systems, ignition units, sensors, and electrical components often lead to increased maintenance requirements, malfunctions, and additional costs—especially in high-temperature processes.
The compact design of the SKS lance burner is based on a robust, simplified burner concept with few components. By eliminating high-voltage electrical ignition and flame monitoring, the burners are particularly robust, low-maintenance, and reliable.
Highly durable burner technology without an ignition system —precisely tailored to your system and operating conditions.
Your benefits at a glance
- Patented SKS burner head for optimal gas-air mixture preparation
- 100% backfire in cyclic operation
- High flame exit velocity for uniform temperature distribution throughout the furnace chamber
- Self-igniting at T > 750 °C
- No ignition unit required
- H2-ready – suitable for up to 100% hydrogen

Patented fuel mixture preparation for stable self-ignition
The patented geometry of the burner head is at the heart of this burner solution. It ensures stable gas-air mixture preparation and guarantees safe self-ignition as well as reliable back-ignition, even in cyclic operation and under varying process conditions.
H2-ready – Ready for tomorrow’s requirements
This burner solution is designed from the ground up to be compatible with hydrogen and can be configured for operation with up to 100% hydrogen (H₂) depending on the application.
