Silit® flame tubes (diffusers) function as a guide for the flow of combustion and combustion gas in single-ended radiant tube applications. PyroCor™ is a uniquely designed twisted tape flame tube, modified and developed for use in U-tubes and W-tubes. PyroCor™ protects radiant tubes by eliminating hot spots caused by direct flame impingement, ultimately increasing the service life of the radiant tube.
PyroCor™ and Silit® Flame Tubes
PyroCor’s spiral shape can be custom engineered to promote excellent temperature uniformity.

PyroCor™ Flame Tubes
FAQ
What are the material properties of Silit® and Amasic-3D™?
These infiltrated SiSiC high performance, non-porous ceramic materials can accommodate application temperatures of 1,380°C. They also offer excellent thermal strength properties.
How does PyroCor™ work?
PyroCor™ utilizes a specialized design and variable twists to optimize temperature uniformity in the radiant tube.
Can the twist rate of the PyroCor™ be altered for each unit?
The advanced additive manufacturing platform used to manufacture PyroCor™ allows a large number of twist rates and geometries to be produced.
What is the difference between Silit®, Silit HD® and Hexoloy®?
The key difference of Silit® SKD, Silit® SKD-H and Hexoloy® is the range of application temperatures which can be accommodated. Hexoloy® is 100% SiC while Silit® has a percentage of silicon in the matrix. This allows Hexoloy® to operate at temperatures exceeding 1,800°C.
