2. Introduction & History
Gemini Machine Works Inc. began operations in From humble beginnings in a 2,000 sq. ft. industrial condo bay with the vision of becoming one of Western Canada’s premier manufactures by utilizing a proactive, relationship based, manufacturing services marketing model.

3. Burner design project
Timeline of events which have lead us to where we are now:
Two years ago began discussions and collaboration of designing and manufacturing burner parts which would be interchangeable with the existing OEM parts being supplied to the market.
After approximately a dozen meetings, site visits, engineering, tolerance stacks, materials research & testing, the finalized burner and parts design was completed and commissioned.
As of March 2016, based on the completed designs, patterns were build and first off material parts testing was completed.
As of June 2016, the first complete assembly parts run was initiated.
In October of 2016, these parts were successfully installed and are pleased to report there were no issues with installation.

4. Venturi Outlet
This picture shows the Venturi outlet casting being machined; we were very pleased with the resulting hardness this casting achieved.

5. Rope Breaker & Regulating Rod
- Picture of the rope breaker assembled to the regulating rod.
- This innovative product is designed to “break to rope of fuel” as it passes into the burner.
- Preliminary modeling has indicated a substantial efficiency gained by this product.

7. Primary Elbow Wear Plate - installed
We were all extremely pleased how well the wear plate fit within the elbow, snug to the sides and flush with the face; thereby eliminating any potential eddies that could occur.

8. PCC1 nozzle, Ceramic Cone & Ring, & casted Venturi diverter.
Pictures of the PCC1 nozzle assembly with the ceramic wear sleeve and ring. These ceramic castings provide the Gemini burner parts with much longer life than the other competing products within the market.

9. Nozzle & Regulating Rod Protector
