Carefully read the safety instructions in this operating and service manual. Follow all the safety
warning messages located throughout this manual.
Always lock-out power before working on any plant equipment.
To prevent serious bodily injury, do not operate any plant equipment with the guards or other safety
components removed.
Never repair this burner with replacement parts not approved by the manufacturer.
(Approved parts are only those available through ASTEC parts department, or any other parts
specifically approved by the ASTEC Burner Systems Group.)

General Burner Information
The PHOENIX Talon is designed to provide maximum firing capability with a minimum of noise and
pollution.
With its compact flame shape, the PHOENIX Talon provides the ideal means for drying aggregate. The
flame shape is pre-set at the factory for the most efficient profile for your drum and burner configuration.
The PHOENIX Talon is a sealed-in combustion system that provides all the necessary combustion air.
This ensures that the combustion air, plus approximately 20% excess air, is available for efficient
operation at maximum capacities.
The Fuel/Air ratio is maintained throughout the burner's operating range with either mechanically or
electronically linked valves. Depending on burner configuration, the PHOENIX Talon will burn all
commercial grades of fuel oil, natural gas or propane. The gaseous fuels are burned as “Premix”. Fuel
gasses and air are premixed in the burner body, well upstream of the ignition point at the burner nose.
Being a Premix Burner enables the Phoenix Talon to operate more cleanly and quietly.
The burner provides a nominal 7:1 turndown from its maximum firing rate, providing efficient operation at
various production rates. In most cases the actual turndown available is somewhat higher (See the
Individual Burner Performance sheets).
