LDRW (Low Draft Reverse Wing)

The LDRW (Low Draft Reverse Wing) model is crafted for versatility and reliability in retrofit or modular projects. Its modular construction allows for straightforward installation and replacement, while its design accommodates thermal growth—making it well-suited for environments with variable draft conditions and tight mechanical arrangements. 

VC (V-Cone Tip Wing)

The VC (V-Cone Tip Wing) flame holder specializes in enhanced flame shaping and robust mixing, leading to superior flame stability and uniform heat distribution. This model is an excellent choice for systems with challenging duct geometries, thanks to its unique V-cone tip and optimized flow characteristics. 

Coen Castings

Coen Castings represent the most rugged solution with single and double-wing (PowerPlus) configurations. These cast stabilizers are engineered for heavy-duty, high-temperature service in base-load and high-output applications. The cast designs allow for exceptional durability, extended operational life, and reliable performance under demanding conditions.
