The quality of materials and construction are immediately evident in a Weishaupt burner.

The powder-coated cast aluminum housing is extremely durable and lightweight; resisting corrosion and vibration. The acoustically engineered air intake yields incredibly quiet, smooth operation. Components such as motors, sensors, cables, and controllers are carefully selected with the understanding that reliability is only as good as the weakest component. When you buy a Weishaupt, you can expect only the best.

At the heart of every modern Weishaupt burner is the “W-FM” digital combustion management system. The W-FM system (also branded as “LMV”) was developed in partnership with Siemens to serve as the gold standard in industrial combustion controls. Weishaupt offers several versions of this control system, each with different capabilities and intended applications such as dual-fuel, continuous operation, oxygen trim, VFD control, low NOx, and integrated process controls. The W-FM control system is eligible for steam boiler rebates with FortisBC.

While many power burners still use a single mod motor to control the air and fuel flow simultaneously through a series of mechanical jack-shafts and linkages, Weishaupt uses precise digitally-controlled stepper motors to control the airflow and fuel delivery independently from each other, similar to how a modern car engine works.

This type of system is often referred to as a “linkage-less”, “parallel positioning”, or “micro-ratio” controls. This technology allows for a much higher degree of precision and control than traditional linkage systems, ultimately resulting in higher efficiency, better reliability, cleaner combustion, and reduced maintenance requirements. Digital control also means that real-time data can be continuously collected and analyzed remotely, making it highly preferable for industrial critical-use applications.
