SKVG / FMB Series (Marine Burner + Boiler)

Saacke GmbH is a Bremen burner manufacturer, founded 1931, and market leader for marine oil burners in Europe. The SKVG Series (rotary cup burner) and FMB Series (pressure atomising burner) are installed as OEM burners in Aalborg, Kangrim and other boilers. Saacke often supplies only the burner — the boiler comes from the boiler specialist. On European vessels Saacke is the de-facto standard burner.
