An industrial burner has a burner housing having a burner head mounted therein and connected to an air pipe. A low pressure high efficiency blower is mounted in the housing adjacent an opening in the housing for drawing air into the burner housing and around the burner head into the combustion chamber. A high pressure turbo blower is located in the housing and connected to draw intake air entering the housing and direct the air under a greater pressure to the burner head through the connecting air pipe and into an industrial dryer. The high pressure blower is driven by an electric motor which also is connected by a belt to a pulley through a portion of the primary air conduit to drive the low pressure blower. The air intake for the housing has air control dampers mounted therein for controlling the flow of the air.
