6 CAH160 Burner Systems for Aquafeed Drying: Denmark Project

Six systems, one destination: Denmark. This project brings together six CAH160 burner systems for aquafeed drying, with HEATFLAM supporting burner selection, system integration and engineering for the application.

The workshop sequence documents wiring and assembly preparation. It shows the people, equipment and connections behind the project, before site installation and operation.

Six CAH160 burner systems for aquafeed drying

All six systems use the same CAH160 burner model. The intended application is aquafeed drying in Denmark, and the current work focuses on the system connections shown in the workshop.

What does the burner system wiring show?

Engineers are working alongside the assembled systems, routing wiring and connecting system components. The close-up views show open wiring enclosures, terminal connections and the equipment layout. Together, these views document the practical integration work around the burner assemblies.

For this project, the visible milestone is wiring preparation. Completed testing, shipment and commissioning are not reported here.

How should the natural gas burner rating be read?

The burner nameplate identifies CAH160, natural gas (N.G.) and a maximum rating of 586 kW. This rating belongs to the burner shown on that nameplate.

CAH160 product reference: what the original data sheet establishes

The original Eclipse Model CAH data sheet lists a burner catalog entry as 160 CAH. Its total-input table includes 469 kW and 586 kW under different stated firing-rate columns. The 586 kW entry is consistent with the maximum rating on the pictured CAH160 nameplate. Read those figures with their table headings; they are not a minimum-to-maximum modulation range.

Honeywell’s AirHeat v1 product introduction identifies CAH as a cross-section variant and describes dryer and industrial air-heating applications. This provides product-family context for burner selection. The pictured nameplate remains the reference for this burner’s natural-gas designation and maximum rating; the catalog does not establish the Denmark project’s operating load, total heat duty or drying output.

Combustion system integration and engineering support

HEATFLAM supports the work from burner selection through combustion system integration and project-specific engineering. For industrial drying systems, the enquiry starts with the process requirements and the equipment interfaces that the combustion package must address.

For an aquafeed drying burner enquiry, specify the fuel and supply conditions, required heat duty, drying temperatures, installation space and control requirements. Include the dryer layout and the intended division of scope between the burner package and the drying equipment. These inputs define the engineering discussion for a new project; they are not additional operating specifications for the Denmark installation.

Aquafeed drying: process evidence and a real project example

Drying is a distinct process step after extrusion. FAO’s aquaculture-feed training manual explains that extrusion-cooked feed leaves the die with moisture that requires further drying. For a burner enquiry, define the water-removal task and the dryer interface alongside the fuel and heat-input requirements. A burner nameplate alone does not establish finished-feed moisture or production throughput.

Real project example — BioMar, Wesley Vale, Australia. In its 17 February 2020 project update, BioMar reported that commissioning was underway and described running factory machinery and control systems before moving to trial manufacture. The useful engineering lesson is to distinguish equipment preparation, integrated commissioning and product trials. For the Denmark project shown here, the documented activity is workshop wiring. BioMar’s facility is a separate public example, with no HEATFLAM involvement asserted.

Dryer design reference — control more than heat input. ANDRITZ’s Combi-zone dryer description identifies individual zone-temperature and airflow control, plus adjustable retention time, for extruded aquafeed and pet-food pellets. The selection implication is to ask how the combustion package will interface with dryer zones, airflow and conveyor timing. This is a process-design reference, not identification of the dryer used in Denmark.

Research evidence — product and process conditions matter. A 2026 peer-reviewed pilot-scale aquatic-feed drying study varied throughput and product bed depth, drying temperature and grain formulation, and measured moisture, pellet quality and energy use. In the tested conditions, higher drying temperature reduced final moisture. The study supports specifying the product and drying conditions together; its experimental settings are not operating recommendations or performance predictions for these six systems.

Company credentials

HEATFLAM’s company credentials include Honeywell authorized distributor status and ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification. The video presents the authorization document and quality-management-system certificate separately.

The authorization concerns distributor status. ISO 9001:2015 defines quality management system requirements; it does not certify the performance of these burner systems or the aquafeed drying project.
