A gas burner for roofing is a specialized device that is used to process the roofs of multi-story or private buildings for various purposes. Its main task is the deposition of rolled materials, heating the surface and drying it, melting bitumen compositions, as well as other various types of work where there is a need for heating surfaces.
The gas burner for roofing is made from high quality materials, since during its operation the temperature of the surface to be treated can reach four hundred degrees. Typically, the appliance cup is made so that during operation the flame does not die out due to wind. The handle is made of rubberized material or hardwood. The length of the device usually does not exceed a meter, and its weight can reach one and a half kilograms. The consumption of the propane-butane mixture is different and depends mainly on the pressure with which the work is carried out. If it reaches one atmosphere, then the flow rate is two to three cubic meters of gas per hour. At a pressure of three atmospheres, this indicator increases to five to six.
The temperature of the fire reaches 1000-1200 degrees Celsius, and the length of the torch can be 300-500 millimeters.
In order for the
gas burner for the roof to consume less propane-butane mixture, it is often used together with a
propane gearbox. It is designed to regulate
gas flow and stabilize its flow, due to which it is possible to achieve 30% fuel economy. It should be borne in mind that a roofing gas burner can only be used at an air temperature of more than 15
degrees Celsius. A typical device is made so that the fuel mixture is forced into it, using atmospheric air in its work. The burner can be set on fire with a lighter or match. Pressing the lever valve allows you to set the required power of the flame. Manufacturers have provided and control the intensity of combustion. You can transfer the burner to standby mode, which can significantly save fuel.
A high-quality and good gas burner for roofing should have strong wind protection, a powerful flame, a correctly made glass and nozzles. A reliable mouthpiece having a dispenser on the nozzle must be present. If you choose just such a device, then you will have the opportunity to efficiently and quickly make all the necessary
roofing works, as well as waterproofing.
A modern gas burner for roofing does not need constant monitoring of fuel consumption. Many models are equipped with a special device that regulates this indicator, and also sets the operating mode. Thanks to this, it is possible to reduce unnecessary gas consumption. Fresh air suction is designed specifically to keep the equipment burning. At the moment, there are a lot of standard sizes of burners on the market, differing in the method of supplying fuel and design features.
