Quartz Burners

Overview

Options

At the heart of purity and performance
Quartz burners are preferred for applications in the semiconductor industry especially for optical fiber cable production. They offer a pure, contaminant-free flame which is necessary for producing high quality optical fiber cable.
AGI’s patented design enables a unique mixing of gases to produce a stable, powerful, and focused flame. The design uses less gas compared to other quartz and metal burners. Each burner configuration can be custom made to meet the required flame focal distance.
  • Fast achievement of reaction set-point temperature.
  • Reduced energy consumption.
  • Interchangeable vessels (300 ml to 5 L).
  • Stable and powerful flame
  • Accurate focal distance
  • Less gas consumption

    (for OVD* and VAD**)
  • Multiple Pipe Burner
    (for OVD* and VAD**)
  • Multiple Nozzle Burner
    (for MCVD***)

*Outside Vapour Deposition, **Vapour Axial Deposition, ***Modified Chemical Vapour Deposition
