1250 Astec has test-fired the 250th burner manufactured since entering the burner market in 2003.

Astec, an Astec Industries company, built the 150-million BTU/hr gas-and-oil-firing 5903 Phoenix Talon burner for Illinois-based Gallagher Asphalt Corporation.

The company says its burners offer the latest in reliable burner technology combined with complete one-source responsibility, and it is able to offer everything from a simple burner replacement to a complete installed system, including retrofit installations.

Astec's burner group engineers the burners to the specifications of each customer and manufactures each in a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Prior to shipment, each burner is tested on one of Astec's tri-fuel (oil, gas and coal) test stands to ensure fast and easy start-up at installation.
