Vitoflex 300-UF

Wood-fired Boiler

Vitoflex 300-UF 390, 530, 720, 950 and 1250

Vitoflex 300-UF with an attached external grate and a 

moving annealing grate to achieve optimal combustion 

results. 

A feed auger continuously moves the wood fuel onto 

the burner trough where gasification takes place.

The combustible gases blend with precisely controlled 

secondary air, resulting in a complete combustion and

the thermal energy is released into the boiler’s triple-pass 

heat exchanger.

Output range: UF 390,   334   to 1331 MBH   (98 to   390 kW)

 

 

 UF 530,   450   to 1808 MBH (132 to   530 kW)

 

 

 UF 720,   614   to 2457 MBH (180 to   720 kW)

 

 

 UF 950,   812   to 3242 MBH (238 to   950 kW)

 

 

 UF 1250, 1065 to 4265 MBH (312 to 1250 kW)
