PyroCor™ and Silit® Flame Tubes
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’s spiral shape can be custom engineered to promote excellent temperature uniformity.

FAQ
These infiltrated SiSiC high performance, non-porous ceramic materials can accommodate application temperatures of 1,380°C. They also offer excellent thermal strength properties.
PyroCor™ utilizes a specialized design and variable twists to optimize temperature uniformity in the radiant tube.
The advanced additive manufacturing platform used to manufacture PyroCor™ allows a large number of twist rates and geometries to be produced.
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.
