How FT Cremators Reduce Fuel Consumption by Up to 70%
In today’s cremation industry, reducing fuel costs is critical to your success. At Facultatieve Technologies, we’ve engineered our cremators to dramatically reduce fuel consumption, helping operators achieve up to 70% fuel savings per cremation compared to other models.
Our industry-leading design and technology optimize every aspect of the cremation process, ensuring superior combustion, reduced reliance on fossil fuels, and lower operating costs—all without compromising performance. Here’s how we do it.
1. Advanced Automated Control Systems for Maximum Efficiency
FT cremators feature an integrated control system that continuously monitors and adjusts combustion parameters in real time. This intelligent system:
- Optimizes gas usage by making infinite micro-adjustments throughout the process.
- Regulates oxygen levels to ensure complete combustion with minimal fuel waste.
- Reduces electrical power consumption, thanks to energy-efficient components.
With fully modulating air controls, our cremators guarantee the perfect balance of oxygen, fuel and temperature, minimizing fuel use while maximizing efficiency.
2. Dynamic Design That Turns the Body into the Primary Fuel Source
Unlike traditional cremators that rely heavily on gas burners, FT cremators are engineered to use the cadaver as the primary fuel source. By forcing oxygen into the super-heated hearth area through precision-engineered air ducts, the cremation process becomes self-sustaining, dramatically reducing the need for additional fuel. The results:
- Fuel consumption reductions of up to 70% compared to standard cremation equipment.
- More efficient, complete combustion—less wasted energy, lower emissions
- Reduced reliance on the primary burner, leading to major fuel savings.
3. Heat Retention and Refractory Design for Long-Term Savings
FT cremators are lined with a high-performance refractory that withstands temperatures up to 2550°F, ensuring heat is retained within the system. This innovative design:
- Enhances fuel economy by keeping the chamber warm for consecutive cremations.
- Lowers overall operating costs by reducing the need for repeated high-temperature preheating.
- Provides a more stable process, ensuring consistent efficiency cremation after cremation.
As the number of cremations increases throughout the day, fuel usage continues to drop. This means operators using FT cremators consume significantly less natural gas or propane per cremation, reducing overall energy costs.
4. Custom-Designed FT Burners and Airflow Optimization
Most cremation systems on the market are modified incinerators, not true cremators. FT cremators are different. Our engineers—who specialize in combustion principles and cremation-specific software development—design every cremator from the ground up. Key features that drive efficiency include:
-
- FT’s proprietary cremation burners, engineered specifically for cremation, not generic incineration.
- Manufactured draft control, using energy-saving frequency inverters on blower motors to minimize electrical energy use.
- Optimized air movement in the primary and secondary chambers, allowing the body to burn evenly while reducing fuel demand.
These design elements ensure every cremation is completed with the lowest possible fuel costs in the industry.
5. Real-World Savings: Increased Throughput, Lower Costs
FT cremators deliver tangible financial benefits for operators:
-
- Up to 70% fuel savings per cremation.
- Average cremation times of just 75 minutes, with total turnaround times of 90 minutes or less.
- More cases cremated per day with lower fuel costs—the more cremations performed, the greater the savings.
Even smaller design elements—such as our low-energy gas valves, designed to last over 5 million cycles while consuming less than 6 watts of power—demonstrate FT’s commitment to cost efficiency at every level.
6. A Commitment to Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Fuel efficiency is more than just a cost-saving measure—it’s a key factor in operational profitability, environmental responsibility, and long-term sustainability. In addition to fuel cost savings, FT cremators provide the following benefits:
-
- Lower greenhouse gas emissions by reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
- Protect the environment by cutting natural gas and propane usage by up to 70% compared to competitor systems.
- Minimize electrical energy use, thanks to variable speed inverters on all motors.
By choosing FT, crematory operators not only save money but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable future for everyone.
Conclusion: The Smart Choice for Cost and Efficiency
While some cremator manufacturers focus only on upfront costs, FT designs cremators with long-term profitability in mind. Our advanced engineering, intelligent controls, and fuel-efficient design deliver unmatched savings over the lifespan of the equipment.
By investing in an FT cremator, you’re choosing industry-leading efficiency, lower fuel costs, and superior environmental performance—all backed by a company with over a century of expertise.
